Get certificate or not
Nowadays, lots of office workers pursue some certificates like TOEIC to show their competence in English; Agile coach certificates to prove their ability to take the job. However, are these certificates really worth to put in lots of efforts and money? Or do these certificates improved their job as they expected? I’m not sure. Personally, the process to prepare for the certificates are the most valuable part, through which you can improve your ability largely. However how much the impact to your daily work, it depends on each individual’s ability to change the knowledge to practice. The certificates will not improve your work much but your improved ability will.
