Most distinguished international computer certificat?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying distinguished international computer certificates that can be pursued without formal education in informatics. Participants clarify that the focus is on non-college certifications rather than degrees. Notable suggestions include the International Computer Driving License (ICDL) and programming certifications in languages like Java and C++. The conversation highlights the importance of recognized certifications for private individuals, with a mention of Cisco's CCIE as a prestigious networking certification, known for its high level of difficulty and limited number of holders globally. The dialogue emphasizes the value of certifications in enhancing professional credibility in the IT field.

Hi,

which are the most distinguished international computer certificates that people could do? I mean without studying informatics of course.

What is the area of this certificate? Programming? Web Design? Administration? A litlle bit of everything? :confused:

I thougt on icdl and definately certificates in programming like Java oder C++ but who provided it and is international distinguished?

All for private persons. Of course is graduate education more distinguished.

thanks :)

greetings

Are you talking about IT certificates or like college degrees? Non-IT college certificates are quite easy to obtain since they require less coursework.

Hi,

I didn't mean college degrees. It is clear and good, that college degrees are more distinguished, because they are an academic education and have to be better. It would be worst if not.

What do you mean, which non-college certificat are very distinguished?

greetings

The *absolutely free* smalltalk/squeak self-certificated course in object oriented programming, taking a couple of years and involving perusing twenty books by real experts:

Well if we're talking networking here, then the most prestigious certification would be Cisco's CCIE. It is the highest level of professional certification that Cisco provides. There are five active CCIE tracks. As of April 6, 2008 there are 16,335 people with active CCIE certifications in the world.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
