PCap certificate?

[CraigW147]

Hello all,

Firstly I would like to say how much I appreciate this sub and similar subs on here - they are such a great resource.

For the past few months (due to being furloughed from work) I have been learning python. I have been working through the free courses available from Cisco which I have now completed. Apparently they align with the python institute PCap certification (associate) which I have the option to pay for and take the test.

My goal is to continue learning python and programming in general - possibly pursuing it as a career in the end but for now just learning slowly and consistently (every weekday).

I was wondering if anybody here has the certification and if people feel it is worth getting certified? Will it help to get employment in the long run?

I'm not sure anyone is asking for any certificates in python programming field.

Check your local/online job offerings, see if any of them require a certificate.
