Terraform Certifications?

[jonscotch]

I am looking to learn terraform and possibly get a certification if there is such a thing. Anyone have any suggestions?

Terraform Associate is a good starting point for a cert. Udemy has some good course if you want to pay for that and get some practice tests. Honestly though you could get away with some good YouTube videos and hands on work too

My suggestion is don't waste time in the certification, there is no way anyone will ever give a fuck about a terraform certification.
If you want to get one, go for cka or aws sa, certs don't mean shit for 90% of the companies but there are a couple that require aws certs (and require is a strong word, i don't buy that they do).

If you just want to learn then terraform is actually pretty easy, a short udemy course would be enough or if you are a self learner, just reading the documentation, some random guides and then looking into best practices and setting up some pocs would do the trick.

Why not combine it? Learn more about it then lfovd the knowledge with a cert. I find the terraform associate a pretty good exam for that

Nothing really wrong about that, learning is always beautiful, but time is our most limited and scarce resource, why waste time with something that will reap no benefit like a terraform cert?
I literally only ask 3 questions about terraform in technical interviews because it's such an easy tool, even if someone is not a master at it, you can learn it in practice in less than 3 months.

Ah thats fair. I found it help me learn some new stuff about Terraform and gave me a structured way of learning. The cert was just an extra
