    Hi,

    My name is Chris.

    I have been study code for the last 2 months now. I have learned a least half HTML and CSS, still a lot to learn though.

    I do some of my code learning from W3schools and I have noticed their advertisement for Diplomas.

    Take a test and if you pass you get a certificate to state that you are competent in that particular coding language, issued by them.

    Will this really help someone who would like to pursue a career in Web Developers career?


    Thanks,
    Chris

    in my opinion it is not good way to get certificate in this field it is better if you go in any popular learning center.

    To be honest I can't imagine a diploma from that shitefest is worth anything at all....maybe you could use it as toilet paper.

    If the employer knows anything about w3schools, said diploma would be an almost surefire way to NOT get the job...

    Not worth at all, waste of time and money. Try going to a real school with a credible background and get a real diploma which you can use somewhere.
