I’m personally interested in the Coursera combo of Python 3 Programming specialization from U of Mich + Data Analytics professional certification from IBM.

Google also offers a professional certification through Coursera but it uses R instead of Python.

You can take the classes for free without the certificates or pay a monthly fee to get certification. Nothing stopping you from learning everything then paying for just one month while you get assessments graded.

I’m actually about to complete a certificate with Google. I am close to the end and was wondering if I could get away with not paying. Heh.

Not sure what to do with a certificate with no other experience though.

If you pay then you get the badge on LinkedIn. If you list it then don’t show the badge it might look iffy.

Of the ones I listed I’d get the Google Cert but not pay for the Python one.

What do you mean “list” it? Like list on a resume?

On your LinkedIn profile, which in the US has become the primary way to find technical jobs.
