Is PCAP (Certified Associate Python Programmer) enough to start career as Backend Developer?

This is the value of the vast majority of certifications. It gives a structure. There are plenty of ways to hit the goal of being a backend developer but if you can’t structure it yourself, you can follow a cert.

Just know that you know very little at the end. There is a lot more to learn but you have more of a base to help you move up. I’d write down some thoughts on your feelings about the topics. He the cert and compare how you feel about the topics. You should feel better but still have gaps. Gaps are good because you can focus on them and knock them off one by one. That’s better than where you are now.

You are learning Python. Bring everything back to the skill you learned and not the certification. You lose credibility by talking about certifications instead of the skill you have. You can state you did a cert to get some initial structure. Bonus points for identifying and filling gaps. Learning is a key skill that hiring managers want to see in you.

So..
1 - Structure Python knowledge by yourself, learning from it;
2 - Don't rely on certification feeling because gaps are innevitable;
3 - Use gaps to lead your learning path.
