Opinions on JavaScript Certification program offered by the International JavaScript Institute

Tyler, USA, August 2022,

Thank you so much! Been doing JavaScript since 2006, and in June I got
another certification (…), and I’m just
fascinated that there’s a JavaScript Institute! Every time I hear
something about JavaScript, it always catches my attention; I would
say it’s one of the most useful things in programming, and if you want
someone who is not a programmer to be a programmer, JavaScript is a
better place to stop than C or its direct descendents. JavaScript
rocks!

Thuy, Vietnam, June 2022,

I’m studying for your certificate again in 6 months.

If to evaluate the lesson for candidates to prepare for the exam, I will rate 3.5/5 stars because the lesson has not been deep into some topics. Like the last time I took the exam, I met a lot of questions about prototypes, but in your lesson, you only talked about this topic.

But anyway, thanks for providing good, useful JS content, that boosted my js level a bit.

Hitesh, India, November 2021,

1. Overall the study material was good , I will rate 6 out of 10, It should be a little bit more declarative.
2. The online Exam was also good. I will rate 8 out of 10.
3. Questions were related to the syllabus .
4. The time was not sufficient for the Exam, the answers were lengthy so I could not finish the Exam on time.

Calvin, Netherlands, October 2021,

My first attempt I find difficult because I didn’t know what to expect. There is not much example material available besides the 10 questions quiz.
There are some questions with many code snippets and you need to scroll, takes time to compare.
Many questions are actually multiple questions combined in one. It is not sure whether you can get partial points if you answered some sub questions right.

Ernests, Latvia, April 2021,

Overall I feel the quality of the exam was fine. (…) The amount of questions with multiple correct answers was just staggering.
My head was throbbing around the 50 min mark. It was a bit too much to evaluate each offered option. I would prefer more questions but with only one correct answer.

Henry, USA, April 2021,

I mostly learned from https://javascript.info/, https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/tree/1st-ed, and the MDN docs. The syllabus on the JSI site was useful for identifying areas I hadn’t done much in and I ended up learning more because of it.
I like how the exam was conducted. Generally I felt they were good questions and I appreciate the challenge of them. Some were worded in a way that I found a bit confusing. It would be nice to be able to see which questions I got wrong to help with my continued learning.

Mark, USA, March 2021,

(…) 3. I like it, the proctor is very respecting and polite, and the process was very smooth.
4. The exam questions were really good! Probably the best part of the exam.
5. The main qualm I have with this certification exam is that after you complete your exam, it does not give you a list of the questions you got incorrect. (…)

Tinu, United Kingdom, February 2021,

Thank you JavaScript Institute Team. Overall it was a great experience in getting certified. (…)
Material is really good, but definitely there is an opportunity to correct some spelling mistakes and minor errors. (…)
It is top class. It is a good idea to do an id check to ensure the identity to avoid fraud and credibility of the exam.
(…) It is really good and exam levels are also good. (…)

Alejandro, Mexico, August 2020,

I really did not find any problems whatsoever.
Instructions were very clear, and I understood everything I had to do beforehand.
Proctor was very professional too.
Overall a very smooth process. No complaints.

Cristian, Romania, July 2020,

That I can confirm. By far the hardest javascript quiz I’ve seen.

Ludwin, Canada, May 2020,

Now, I have no doubt about the integrity of the questions and their answers. In fact, they are one of the most challenging sets of questionnaires I’ve tried. (…)
I won’t even bother to contest the result of my exam. (…) I’ve gained a lot during the review process, enough for me to say I’m a professional JavaScript developer.
(…) I really like your questionnaires, it’s comprehensive and really tests the core concepts of JavaScript.
