What is the use of the certificate?

Question

Hi I have recently started using this app sololearn. I installed it to get extra information about html because my school doesn't give much importance to the I.T courses. So I was wondering if I complete the course here and get certificate would it be of any use?
I mean it's an e-certificate so will it be of any use to me in the future? Please tell me what can I do with it.

Answer 1

If you print it out, you can make cool paper airplanes or origami with it. 😉

Answer 2

No use outside of SoloLearn.

You are almost through with HTML. You probably saw that:

1. you can look up answers to questions in the comments;

2. you can pay with xp instead of getting them right;

3. they come very often one screen after the topic was explained;

4.) they are not very hard to begin with.

Furthermore the whole course sticks to the very basics and there's lots and lots left to learn.

So it can hardly be a valid certification for anything really.

Except for that you made a good start, getting to know about programming. It's not in vain, you can build on that.

But in and of itself you can hardly use it in my opinion.

Answer 3

LOL! Mike... I'm all too familiar with that annoying little voice in our heads nagging us to "do this, don't do that..."

Such restraint is an enduring torment for those possessing a natural sense of sarcasm with a sharp wit. 🙃

Answer 4

Apart from the Origami and paper planes, you can use it to motivate you a bit.

Answer 8

David Carroll that's more dignifying than what I was going to suggest; which would be promptly removed from these comments if I managed to hit the 'enter' key ... alas, my moral compass got the better of me 😪

Answer 9

David Carroll Yep... and that's why I enjoy the startup I work for. We don't have an HR department to reel me in 😁
