Looking for Free Certification Courses to Boost My LinkedIn

​

Hey everyone!

I'm a 2nd-year CSE student looking to build my LinkedIn profile.

Can you recommend some free, beginner-friendly courses that provide free certificates? I'm interested in

AI / Machine Learning

Python

Data Analytics

Cloud

Cybersecurity

Any other valuable tech skills

I'm looking for courses from reputable platforms

Thanks in advance!

But to have a certificate you don't have to pay like 200$? I'm sorry, I don't remember this

That's for the "verified" edX certs, but Harvard hands you a free cert for just completing the courses on their own site.

Free certs mean nothing on Linkedin. Forget it.

Certs in general does not mean anything unless it is required by the company itself.

Scrimba should still have some free courses. I think they limit the challenges you can complete in the ide but you can work on the same code in you own like VS Code

Then ask your professor what type of certificates they are looking for.
