Latest update: We started with 50 free certificates and now we're over a 100+ certificates!🎉🎉
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!

great complete list, thanks.
You're welcome! If you know any awesome free certificates out there, don't hesitate to add them. 😉
Thank you😊😇
My pleasure! Happy new year!😊🎉
Interesting list, could you tell us what (if any) ties you have to these institutions?
Thanks Matt! No I don't have any connections to them. I'm only connected to Panx Project which is my own baby project that I started 4 years ago.
Thank you for putting this together. I think I might get tempted to do a certification this year. After leaving uni I never did any certs, just a few on EdX for fun.
It's my pleasure! Same here actually that's how it started since uni I wanted to invest in learning but didn't have money or time. So I started collecting free learning resources in topics I'm interested in.
Great list.
Thanks!!

Thanks Antony! Feel free to add to it.
oHH THIS IS GREAT!! THANKS.

I'm happy you enjoyed it!😊 Same here I'm planning on taking the APIs & Microservices on FreeCodeCamp.
Best of luck!
