GitHub opens certification programmes to everyone

GitHub has opened its certification programme to the general public. Previously limited to employees and partners, the new programmes include GitHub Foundation, GitHub Actions, GitHub Advanced Security and GitHub Administration certifications.

The company says completing a certification programme will allow users to show up as a GitHub expert.

It is also offering free detailed study guides that will help participants with the resources required to prepare for the exam.

Upon successful completion, you will get a Credly badge along with a certificate that will help verify your credentials. Here’s a quick look at what these programmes have to offer.

Designed for those who are new to the platform, the GitHub Foundations certification introduces learners to the fundamentals of the platform.

In this course, you will learn how to use the platform and use core features like branching, merging, commits, repository and project management.

The course will also teach you how to contribute to open-source projects and use the markdown feature.

This course introduces users to GitHub actions that allow developers to automate their workflows. It will help you learn how to build CD/CD pipelines and manage actions to name a few.
