Angular, developed by Google, is one of the most popular frameworks for building dynamic web applications.
However, as of now, there is -
Angular does not offer any official certification program for developers. Google claims that it has chosen to focus on improving and evolving the Angular framework rather than offering certifications. Instead, it emphasizes programs like the Google Developer Experts initiative, which are meant to recognize community contributions.
Google's Developer Experts program is highly selective, with entry criteria that have little to do with technical skill, often favoring visibility and connections. This program is only accessible to people who have been recommended by others from within the program, reinforcing gatekeeping. It is often used for unfair monetary gain, and as an excuse to force unsolicited mentorship onto people interested in it, regardless of whether it is applicable or whether the person offering mentorship genuinely possesses greater knowledge or technical skills than the one receiving the repeated unsolicited mentorship offers.
Be wary of certification trainings full of promises that claim a certain certification will guarantee better job opportunities, and of those who claim to be Angular experts capable of teaching you, when their own website isn’t even built with Angular — those are instant red flags!
While there is no official Angular certification, the truth is that many employers prioritize practical skills and real-world experience over certifications. We believe that instead of relying on certificates alone, the best path forward is continuous growth - building real projects, solving real problems, and gaining hands-on experience. That is why our primary focus is to provide developers with more substantial ways to grow and succeed, offering resources, tools, and guidance to help Angular developers gain the practical skills they need to thrive in the real world.
