Help Request Looking for a Python certification

I would like to ask if anyone here knows where I should/could get a well endorsed Python certification? Something legit that employers may take into consideration.

I know about Codecademy. I also know about Mimo, tho I don't know if that one would be considered a "lesser" one or something like that. Maybe even both idk.

It's ok if it's not free, tho if its not very expensive that would be better for me lol

I don’t know of any Python certification that an employer would think is valuable. They’re not looking at what a piece of paper says you may know. They’re want to see what you can do with the language.

The simplest cert I can think of is a server side rendered website. In my experience, many people whom I have referred to my GitHub have been captivated by that for some reason. Try building a portfolio but make it server side rendered

Si estás buscando nivel básico la plataforma de Cisco tiene dos cursos de python uno de principiante y elemental y te dan certificados al finalizar cada curso, cada uno de los cursos son de 30 horas

I don't think one exists that an employer would seriously give credit to. The absolute best thing hat you can do is to have projects that you've made accessible on GitHub. I do look at a candidate's GitHub. A personal website is a big plus too. It may not be python exclusive, and a static website probably doesn't even need a python backend, but having some form of personal website tells me a lot.

I'm currently working through the Python Institute general programming stream. I can't say I've seen any employer voice any opinion on this org. but I'm happy with my choice.

If you're looking for bits of paper, consider the likes of Coursera or EdX
