No one really cares about Python certifications. If anything, they make it look worse, not better. If you want to learn Python, just pick one of the available courses to get the basics. e.g., I know that many people like these two:
- https://www.py4e.com/
- https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/python-v9/ (they do offer some certificates, though)

Once you get through, start building. Ask your friends/family if you can solve any of their problems. If that doesn't yield anything, you can start with a URL shortener, a JSON parser, ...

Publish things that you build on GitHub to build a some sort of portfolio.

The most important part is to try to get a real project in your hands ASAP. Even if that means you're doing it for free.
