Microsoft Certificates/Edx Business worth it

[2L8]

Hi guys I've finished up some classes on Edx and was passing by some Microsoft Courses and Micromaster programs , etc. Are they worth it?

I think that the MITx micromasters would be very much worth taking. First, they would get MITx - maybe MIT x - onto your resume for a cheap price. Second, the MITx programs do have a pathway to actual MIT degrees. That part would be expensive, but certainly worth it in the long run for many people. Third, there might be a way to derive some master's credits from the programs.

For anyone who has a low income, the data/development micromasters is an absolute steal. With incomes below $25,000, each of the five courses costs $100. With income below $50K, it is only $250 per course. Again, that is a good deal.

The supply chain micromasters is the one I have had my eye on. It is $200 per class. There are five or six classes, so it would be about $1200 for the whole thing. I think that is a steal for MITx on the resume, a credential and 13 graduate credits somewhere, maybe.
