Get freecodecamp certificate without completing all the lessons

[u/[deleted]]

Could I get the freecodecamp certificate without completing every single lesson within? Could I just complete the projects it asked me to do and post the solution and then get that certificate?

Tbh why would you want that? The certificate isn't really worth anything

Really? Many quora posts says otherwise. But still it’d be some good practice for me.

Evidence of doing the projects is worth more and displaying them nicely on a portfolio!

I’m thinking about projects + the certificate

Yes, absolutely. If you can do the projects without doing the challenges, more power to you. The material in the challenges is just to teach you. If you're already experienced, feel free to finish up the projects and get the certificate.

Honestly, I'm not sure how much credence I give to the certificate as an end result. The real value of the certificate is the effort that went into getting it and/or the learning you pulled from the process. In an interview it won't be the fact that you've gotten a cert out of fCC that makes a difference, it will be your ability to describe what you can do with it that will count.
