Latest update: We started with 50 free certificates and now we're over a 100+ certificates!ππ
What is Awesome Certificates?
A curated list of Computer Science, Information Technology and Business courses that offer free certificates and badges upon completion.
Why I've made this list?
Back in 2020 I found it very difficult to find high quality learning material that offer certificates for free. That's when I decided to create awesome certificates as an open source project. That way it'll always be accessible and available for everyone to use and add to it.
Hope you find it useful!

Awesome list! Could I suggest adding resources on CI/CD pipeline?
Great idea! I'll try to find some and add them! If you find any, don't hesitate to add them directly here by forking the Github project to your profile then add them and request a
Pull request
.BrowserStack is offering Free Certificate courses in Manual and Automation Testing through Test University. You may want to have a look and add it to your list
Awesome find! Thanks Garima! I'll be sure to add them and notify once it's live. If you find more you can add them directly here by forking the Github project to your profile then add them and request a `Pull request that would be incredibly helpful for the whole community.
The Chatbot one Shows Course Not Found π
Sorry it took me a while I guess some of the comments notifications were lost. I fixed it here it is. Thanks Arsh!
Are the FreeCodeCamp courses really 300 hours a piece? That would be about 40 hours a week for 8 weeks. That is closer to an actual bootcamp workload. Has anyone actually completed their certifications and can speak to their time to complete?
Yes their material is very thorough with hands-on labs as well! I would highly recommend it.
Apparently yes, I have started but never finished! Did you start any of them?
Kaggle's providing free certifications as well: kaggle.com/learn/overview
Looks good for Data Science and ML
Technologies are increasingly integrated into the work of the health care structure. This makes medicine progressive and effective treatment. But this poses a threat of cyberattacks to the hospital's servers.
For example, if information about the health of many patients gets on the Internet, this can attract not only drug sellers, but also dangerous people:
ο·Black market sellers;
ο·Fraudsters;
ο·Blackmailers who will try to redeem and disclose data on the health of a person (if we are talking about an influential person).
And many other dangerous people who can harm patients and the clinic. In order for the healthcare sector not to be afraid to introduce modern technologies into its work, it needs to ensure cybersecurity.
Sure thing! Just link back to panx.io and github.com/PanXProject/awesome-cer.... Best of luck!

Text Content/Courses
Must check this has really great content and also they are providing certificate for the same :)
They seem to have many free courses covering everything! Thanks Dheeraj it would be helpful for the community if you can add some of them here github.com/PanXProject/awesome-cer...
Yes sure will add them to the list
You could add Hackerrank certification for APIS and React, that as far as I know, they are free (Link: hackerrank.com/skills-verification). Also, I want to say this is great.
Added now! :)
That's awesome!! Great find Alejo, if you have a github account you can directly here github.com/PanXProject/awesome-cer...
emm~~, why not about android?
That would be a cool addition! Have you found any free Android certificates online?
"codelabs.developers.google.com"
Does this count?
That looks very interesting! It doesn't seem like they provide a certificate of completion though or am I missing it?
not yet. I'll tell you if I find it
Google dev offer some course but not sure about certificate
Awesome list, thanks for sharing!
In case you're interested, I've put up a bunch of programming resources on devresourc.es, and maybe it'd be nice to add a "Certificates" section there too.
Feel free to check it out. :)
Anytime , Marcel! If you know of any free certificates feel free to add it! I'm sure it'll be appreciated. π
I've checked DevResources out and it looks awesome. Feel free to link to this list! I'll be adding 20 more free certificates next month π
Amazing Waleed, thank you for the feedback.
I'll definitely include some certifications there! :)
I'll be on the lookout, let me know if I can help! Best of luck Marcel! π
Thank you so much!
Ruthiel anytime!
You can also include Selenium 101 from LambdaTest
Thanks Shahzeb for the great find! β¨
Added it to the list! βοΈ
Thanks Waleed for including it.
However, if you can correct the spelling (LambdaTest), that would be Great! :)
Done! π If you find more free certificates you can add it here anytime π
Thank you sir for curating such a valuable piece of content. Looking forward to crack at least 3 certificates in the year..!!π π
I'm really happy you find it useful!π Best of the luck with the certificates, which ones do you have in mind??
Sorry if already mentioned but the link to CS403: Introduction to Modern Database Systems is incorrect should it be: learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?i...
Joe you're great, thanks for pointing out! πAll fixed now!
