Add Certificates

[waleedsadek-panx]

Hello Unicorn,

I've created Awesome Certificates!

The project's aim is to provide free certifications & digital badges to earn, currently in computer science and infromation technology.

I have reviewed and commented on these PRs: #2453, #2465, #2418, #2435 and #2394.

I've also followed the guidelines and checked project with awesome-lint with no issues detected.

Looking forward to be awesome,
Thanks!

This requirement is meant to help make the Awesome project self-sustaining. Comment here which PRs you reviewed. You're expected to put a good effort into this and to be thorough.

  That means 30 days from either the first real commit or when it was open-sourced. Whatever is most recent.
• Don't open a Draft / WIP pull request while you work on the guidelines. A pull request should be 100% ready and should adhere to all the guidelines when you open it. Instead use #2242 for incubation visibility.

• Non-generated Markdown file in a GitHub repo.
• The repo should have awesome-list & awesome as GitHub topics. I encourage you to add more relevant topics.
• Not a duplicate. Please search for existing submissions.
• Only has awesome items. Awesome lists are curations of the best, not everything.
• Does not contain items that are unmaintained, has archived repo, deprecated, or missing docs. If you really need to include such items, they should be in a separate Markdown file.
• Includes a project logo/illustration whenever possible.
  • Either centered, fullwidth, or placed at the top-right of the readme. (Example)
  • The image should link to the project website or any relevant website.
  • The image should be high-DPI. Set it to maximum half the width of the original image.
• Entries have a description, unless the title is descriptive enough by itself. It rarely is though.
• Includes the Awesome badge.
  • Should be placed on the right side of the readme heading.
    • Can be placed centered if the list has a centered graphics header.
  • Should link back to this list.
• Has a Table of Contents section.
  • Should be named Contents, not Table of Contents.
  • Should be the first section in the list.
  • Should only have one level of nested lists, preferably none.
  • Must not feature Contributing or Footnotes sections.
• Has an appropriate license.
  • We strongly recommend the CC0 license, but any Creative Commons license will work.
    • Tip: You can quickly add it to your repo by going to this URL: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/community/license/new?branch=main&template=cc0-1.0 (replace <user> and <repo> accordingly).
  • A code license like MIT, BSD, Apache, GPL, etc, is not acceptable. Neither are WTFPL and Unlicense.
  • Place a file named license or LICENSE in the repo root with the license text.
  • Do not add the license name, text, or a Licence section to the readme. GitHub already shows the license name and link to the full text at the top of the repo.
  • To verify that you've read all the guidelines, please comment on your pull request with just the word unicorn.
• Has contribution guidelines.
  • The file should be named contributing.md. Casing is up to you.
  • It can optionally be linked from the readme in a dedicated section titled Contributing, positioned at the top or bottom of the main content.
  • The section should not appear in the Table of Contents.
• All non-important but necessary content (like extra copyright notices, hyperlinks to sources, pointers to expansive content, etc) should be grouped in a Footnotes section at the bottom of the readme. The section should not be present in the Table of Contents.
• Has consistent formatting and proper spelling/grammar.
  • The link and description are separated by a dash.
    Example: - [AVA](…) - JavaScript test runner.
  • The description starts with an uppercase character and ends with a period.
  • Consistent and correct naming. For example, Node.js, not NodeJS or node.js.
• Doesn't use hard-wrapping.
• Doesn't include a Travis badge.
  You can still use Travis for list linting, but the badge has no value in the readme.
• Doesn't include an Inspired by awesome-foo or Inspired by the Awesome project kinda link at the top of the readme. The Awesome badge is enough.

Go to the top and read it again.

Yes, the only requirement is that the certification/badge is offered for free.
If that's the case, you can add them to Awesome Certificates under the appropriate topic, they'll be a good contribution!

LGTM!

Hi

The name of the project is misleading. I thought it would be about SSL certificates ;) Therefore, I would suggest to rename the project to a more meaning full name than just "Certificates".

Furthermore, the whole list has a unique structure and list style, which is not the way awesome lists are formatted normally. To you plan to restructure that or leave it that way?

Hi Karneades,

Thanks for your input! What would you suggest for the name?

For the structure having the list format will very messy and harder to find specific info like: course provider name or course length. The tabular format provides a cleaner, more structure way to locate the certification you'd like to take, however if you have any other format that would work better, you can suggest it by opening an issue.

[Karneades]

What would you suggest for the name?

Have a more specific name for the list, because certificates can be multiple things in IT and is therefore misleading. "IT Course Certificates" would match your description.

For the structure having the list format will very messy and harder to find specific info like: cross provider or course length. The tabular format provides more structure and ease use, however if you have any other format that would work better, you can suggest it by opening an issue.

Oh, for me it's ok, I wan't open an issue. It's more regarding the guidelines of the awesome list to have a clean and similar style as all other lists.

The thing is currently we're adding some digital marketing and other fields of certifications. So maybe free certifications? or?

Well I'm always open for feedback to make this repo easier and more useful to use. So if you think of something please open an issue and suggest it.

Its under learning, so I don't think certificates is the wrong title.
