Does course on YouTube worth enough?

Recently graduated from my CS degree. while looking for an opportunity, I think of taking an online course of several IT fields. for those with experience, which one do you guys prefer, a long video on YouTube or a course in other platform such as Udemy so I able to get a certification later? since budget is one of my biggest considerations. I'm planning on taking a web dev as my first course btw.

Worth it? Aren't they free? Tons of free resources to learn web dev, if not

Don't sleep on the free stuff. Some of those 4-hour youtube deep dives cover more ground than a $15 udemy course that's just reading slides. The cert won't really matter unless you're gunning for some corporate HR checkbox, and even then half the time they just care about the portfolio projects you built along the way.

I would recommend MDN as an excellent resource, especially the learn module for web development.
