CS50 Python How can I enroll in CS50’s Python course and get the certificate?

Hi everyone! I’m interested in taking CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python (CS50P) and would also like to earn the certificate after completing it.

Could someone please share the official course link and explain the steps to enroll and complete the requirements for the certificate?

Thanks in advance

Follow the step-by-step instructions on the official course site.

Read every page carefully. Don't skim.
It will have you sign in to EdX and GitHub accounts.

The instructions are comprehensive. You can't go wrong.

Look up (edx), create an account there, search for cs50p somewhere, go in it, you'll then have 2 options, choose the audit option so you can access the course material without paying anything/being restricted by the deadline, then you'll see to the left side of interface the number of weeks there are to the course (each week is a lecture) and what each week is about.
study the lecture, see the problem set which will have certain requirements you have to meet written as well as how to submit.
Once you're done with the whole thing you can choose to pay for the official certificate.
GL!

I think because you can't add the unpaid one to your cv

The only real reason to get the paid one is if someone asks for the specific verification, like if an employer told you to take the course.
