6 month certificate programs that pay well Reddit

I was just going to say that. I just found out, that it has become so popular in my area, that they have a specific certification class through the local vocational school.

EDIT: I did Welding Workshop, Welding Technology 1&2, and now I'm doing certifications privately with the best CSP/CWI in my state. I'm certified in D1.6, ASME Section IX, B31.1, B31.3. I had a real skill in GTAW or TIG which having that, is already above and beyond your average union worker, SMAW, GMAW. GTAW is what pays. I'm doing Aerospace. In five years, I will be making a six figure salary because GTAW Titanium is a difficult skill. So if you want the money, GTAW is where it's at.

Biopharmaceuticals. Seriously. In NC you pretty much just have to take a Bioworks certification course which is offered at most community colleges. Sometimes the next class, Advanced Bioprocess Technology is necessary, but you could do both in about 4 months for about 400 bucks combined. The company I work for only requires a high school diploma and the Bioworks course. They start as a tech 1 at about $18 an hour and after 4 years (and a lot of hard work), I'm a senior tech who should bring in close to 90k this year with some overtime.

I'm not sure how it is wherever you live, but find some of your state's leading industries and there will almost certainly be some type of workforce development for it at a community college.

What do you do in biopharmeceuticals?

level 1

If you're at all tech savvy there are tons of computer science/IT certifications out there. I used lynda.com to get a few C# certificates to beef up my resume (although I'm sure there are better sites). IT and CS work is not going anywhere anytime soon.

level 2

Free courses in Coursera are pretty halpful

level 2

I know people have mixed opinions on coding bootcamps, but it's one of the best decisions I ever made. I was unemployed, with a computer arts degree (video editing, 3d animation, etc) I had no drive to actually implement. decided to go on the course. It was 4 months long, and immediately got a junior software engineer job at the end of it. I'm now finishing my first year.

level 2

Or, if you're already semi-decent at coding (and math), an artificial intelligence/machine-Learning crash course. It's not that difficult to learn really and pays really good

level 2

Ugh, I work in IT right now. I have no idea what else I could do, but I would love to get out of it. Unfortunately, the mortgage, car payments, Wife, and two beautiful little girls depend on my keeping the job and its health insurance.

I have no idea what I would do instead, but I think if I could, I would figure out how to get into the aftermarket automotive performance industry.

level 2

I know for C++, a "certificate" is less than useful - it shows that you got a certificate that nobody in the industry cares about.

Basically, if you get a C++ "certificate" and put it on a resume, you are strongly harming your resume.

level 2

Does this really work this way?
In Germany this would not get you any job in my experience.

You either need at least bachelor degree or a 3 year apprenticeship to get a junior developer job.

Because a "junior" job here seems to mean something different then elsewhere. In Germany it is expected that you can already do the stuff you are hired for. Of course not in detail but in general. So it is expected that you can code.. which you can't after a 4 month course in my opinion.

I would not hire someone that only has a degree from an online course.

level 1

At some Community Colleges, there are (relatively) short courses offered in building code (fire, electrical, HVAC, etc). OSHA (ADOSH here in Arizona, and it might be called something different in each state) would definitely appreciate that certificate, and the jobs tend to start at or around $50,000 per year. I'm not sure if it fits your desired time frame, but it is nowhere near as long as even an Associate's Degree in a field.

level 1

Anyone who says coding is probably not going to mention the fact that most education in programming is subpar at best and we are all very much self taught over the course of years of doing it before becoming professionals.

Most programmers won't hire anyone who doesn't show an interest in learning it extensively outside of work

level 2

You know, I'd say this is the case across pretty much all IT disciplines.

If you require a class to learn something, you're already going to be out of date before the class even starts, and most classes are just glorified outlining of the subject matter taught by someone who.... well.. apparently has time to teach a class.

level 1

Private Investigator believe it or not. The course itself is exactly 40 hours but it’s really only around 3. Just have to leave the screen on it for 40.

The only downside is the course costs about $500 and to get the physical license is about $160.

It’s a livable wage and a pretty easy job physically. Mentally it can be a bit demanding having to deal with waking up between 3-6am to drive to the location as well as the possible stress of dealing with nosy neighbors and following who ever you are assigned to.

Other requirements are typically a working inconspicuous vehicle (if the company doesn’t provide one), a hand held camera and working laptop/pc.

level 2

How did you find a job doing that?
