One certificate for all courses completion?

I appreciate you reorganizing the curriculum to be a compact, coherent one. However, it seems that with the new curriculum, one would have to complete ALL courses and modules (including front-end, back-end, JS, Python, C#, React, data vis, etc.) to gain a single certificate?

I find it counterproductive, as that would involve tens of thousands of modules and thousands of hours. Yet many people come here for a specific domain (as well as a certificate in that domain, say, React). Could you rethink about how certificates may be issued on a skill-based level?

As expected the founder realized this and cited this as “one major miscalculation”.

The upcoming updates to the curriculum sounds good to me, which break it into 7 distinct certs.

For me, an ideal cert would take less than 250 hours to complete.

Additionally, I hope there are specific modules like data vis that are need-based and don’t require a learner to go through the entire database cert.

Note - specific small certificates aren’t really compelling to employers and are more for individual motivation than anything else.

You’re always welcome to pick and choose which sections, or even which lessons, you want to do.
