As the Angular Certification program continues to evolve, we've been listening closely to feedback from our vibrant community. Today, we'd like to explore the unique value of our certification and our ongoing commitment to making it accessible to developers worldwide. We're proud to offer the only certification program created and run by Google Developer Experts, bringing unparalleled expertise and industry insight to our offerings.
Let's look at how our pricing compares to other tech certifications, excluding advanced / senior certifications:
Our pricing aligns with these established certification programs and, in some cases, offers more affordable options. We've intentionally priced our certifications lower than some alternatives to ensure accessibility while maintaining high-quality content. When you consider that investing just 2-3 hours of your typical earnings could significantly boost your career prospects, the potential return on investment becomes clear.
We recognize that some members of our community have questions about the recent changes in our pricing structure. The Angular Certification program has recently transitioned from its previous home at Angular Training, where it resided since 2020, to its new platform at Certificates.dev. This move has allowed us to enhance our offerings, but it has also necessitated some adjustments to our pricing. Let us explain the reasons behind these changes:
The increasing sophistication of AI has led to new challenges in maintaining the integrity of online certifications. To counter this, we've implemented advanced proctoring tools to validate each exam, ensuring that your certification holds real weight in the industry.
We've significantly broadened our preparation and training content. This includes a wealth of new quizzes, code challenges, and comprehensive learning materials. We've even introduced the option for live bootcamps for Mid-level and Senior certification, providing an immersive learning experience for those who prefer hands-on guidance.
We've eliminated the need for a final interview, making the certification more accessible to developers who may not be comfortable with spoken English. This change has dramatically reduced the certification timeline from a potential 1-3 weeks to less than 2 hours, thanks to our new proctoring system.
Alain Chautard, Google Developer Expert and creator of the Angular Certification program, explains the reasoning behind the pricing structure: "When we set the pricing for Angular Certification, we aimed to strike a balance between accessibility and value. The skills you gain and validate through this program can significantly boost your market value, often paying for themselves many times over in career opportunities. In many cases, employers pay for or reimburse for these certifications, as they're much more affordable than in-person training."
We've structured our certification to cater to various experience levels:
Each level offers exam-only options, exam with preparation materials, and for mid and senior levels, comprehensive bundles including intensive training sessions.
Reflecting on the inclusive nature of this approach, Alain notes that Angular Certification isn't just about validating knowledge—it's about opening doors. “I’ve seen people use their certificate to obtain a visa and go live in a different country on a different continent. That’s a life-changing experience.”
We're committed to making our certification program accessible:
Investing in certification can lead to tangible benefits:
When asked about the hesitation some developers feel about the cost, Alain shares his experience: "I've seen developers hesitate about the cost, but then come back to tell me how the certification opened new doors for them. Whether it's a promotion, a new job, or simply the confidence to take on more complex projects, the return on investment can be substantial, especially because most software engineers would make that kind of money in just 2-3 hours of work."
Our Certified Angular Developers Training Program has earned the trust of industry leaders across the globe. We're proud to have certified dozens of developers from prestigious companies such as Accenture, Deloitte, SFEIR, Tata Consultancy Services, LTIMindtree, Capgemini, and Sopra Steria. This widespread adoption by top-tier organizations underscores the value and relevance of our certification in today's competitive tech landscape.
We've seen discussions online about our pricing, and we want to address them directly:
While it's true that corporate training can cost significantly more, we understand that individual developers often bear the cost of certification themselves. That's why we've worked to price our offerings competitively while still providing high-quality content.
We're actively exploring ways to make our certification more accessible to individual developers. This includes our tiered pricing structure and various discounts.
Our certification focuses on practical, job-relevant Angular skills. It offers targeted, in-depth knowledge that's immediately applicable in professional settings.
We encourage developers to explore whether their employers offer professional development budgets that could cover certification costs. Many companies see value in supporting their developers' growth through recognized certifications.
The Angular ecosystem is constantly evolving, and so are we. We're committed to refining our certification program to meet the changing needs of developers and the industry. Your insights and experiences are invaluable in this process.
We encourage you to share your thoughts, suggestions, and questions about the certification program. Whether you're considering certification, have already earned one, or are just curious about the process, your perspective helps shape the future of Angular certification.
Thank you for your continued interest and participation in the Angular community. We're excited to see how developers like you will use these certifications to push the boundaries of what's possible with Angular.
