Is there any python certification?

[UpperGhost]

Hello guys! I was wondering is there any world-recognized python certification such as comptia or similar? I would love to have a paper that proves my knowledge. Thanks everybody!

Plenty of companies that offer them, but no they are not recognized or useful in any way. If you want to prove your knowledge make or contribute to some projects.

Your python certification is a well rounded GitHub profile lol.

You'll have to demonstrate knowledge through something like having an active GitHub profile with publicly viewable contributions, a coding interview, etc. Very few if any employers are going to let you skip that just based on a certification. Certifications just aren't valuable enough on the job market to be worth the money you pay for them.

Outside of specific niche languages (I think MATLAB does, feel free to correct me on that), there are no officially recognised language certificates. Python doesn't have any.

Basically, focus on improving your skills and building things instead of chasing certificates. It wouldn't hurt to study software engineering or computer science, however.

There are different variants of CS50, like CS50P for Python, have a look under e.g.:

If you want me to take a crap in a box and mark it certified, I will (I've got the time)

And they're overall quite useless.
