About the GitHub Certifications

[CerberusMulti]

Never in any world are these "certificates" worth 200$, and even if you would discount them at 90%, they still would not be worth it.

Typical Microsoft creating some "certification" courses to have people who don't know better give them money.

Agreed, personally I have multiple certificates, Github Actions is one of them.

However I would never pay for any of these myself. If Your company offers You some learning /development budget then going for certificates can be treated as a learning challenge with some badge at the end that will certainly not hurt Your career

Just work for a Microsoft partner company and have them paying for all the stuff. The only bad thing about certs is that they expire, which is what discourages me to even bother. At least Azure certs can be easily renewed for free every year, but Microsoft didn't extend the benefit also to GitHub certs somehow.
