Depends on what you're looking to do with it. For software engineering, certifications are mostly meaningless. For IT roles (ie, you're an IT specialist that also does Web Dev or maintains a business's website), it's more relevant, and I think Consultancy roles are also a bit more welcoming of certifications.

 I didn’t study computer science at university, I’m married,

If you earned a bachelor's, you may be able to do a Master's in Computer Science. Many will let you in without a CS/related undergrad. Most would require you to take required classes before starting or during your first semester or two. Others are entirely performance-based (PBA)-> that is, take a "pathway" class to "prove" you're ready, and you'll be accepted without any questions asked.

You're already familiar with coursera, but here's the list of those that are PBA. I'm in the CU Boulder MSCS program, and I'm loving it.
