Hey, just replying to reinforce the value of a certificate. I teach ML and DL courses to professionals. And we want to incorporate official certificates to all our courses because some guidelines of institutes expect that from professional courses. So we have no choice than to add this. At the moment we teach Deep Learning using TensorFlow and the option of a certificate is very lovely for us.
So yeah, certificates might be a meaningless indicator to us but outsiders put value into them because they don’t understand the field and want some trusted source to validate the skill.
