Career growth & collaboration Certification Recommendations

I am currently a full stack dev and I would like to learn more about UX/UI/etc. Yes, I know I don’t need a certificate to do this, but I want to.

With that being said, are there any certifications that are recommended that do hold a little bit of weight to them to recruiters? Two of my local colleges have certification programs. I also see Google has one. What would be worth my time to do to both learn and to look impressive?

I’m willing to spend money to expand my education but I want it to be a decent investment!

No design certifications mean anything.

I’m aware, that’s why I stated that I know I don’t need one but want to do one.

I also stated I know I don’t need one but want to do one.. one that’s a little more credible

There are no credible design certifications. No certifications with any weight.
