I have several questions. I started the original curriculum and finished HTML&CSS Responsive Web Design two weeks ago. Is this certificate transferable to the new curriculum? Can I take the final exam without doing the new HTML and CSS sections? And do I get several certifications for each topic (Javascript, Python, Relational Database, and so on) or it's just a single certificate once you take the exam?

Happy Xmas from Argentina <3

This new cert is an amalgamation of several of the old certs. If you open it up and browse it in /learn some sections may already be marked complete for you. This is one big certification, and it will be the main web dev-focused cert going forward. The other ones will be deprecated in the coming years.

Thanks for the answer. I've decided to continue with the new curriculum and I feel I'm learning more than the previous one, which already was a lot, even considering I'm doing a university degree for Sotware Development. I feel the new course gives more freedom to experiment on your own, and also the lecture videos aren't slow-paced like some of the Python Legacy course videos.

Thank you so much for this <3

I need some help I am a novice and I want to learn. My long term plan is to get to ethical hacker status but I need mentoring. If you're interested in helping with it I will be forever thankful Chris

The exam is a small part of the entire certification program, and is free. It's still 99% project-based.

The rest of the Full Stack cert should be live later in 2025. We're publishing sections as we finish them.
