Question about Daml certification courses

I am thinking of learning Daml through Daml’s official courses and certifications

https://daml.talentlms.com/plus/catalog

should I get the certification or just learn and start building, would paying $300 for philosophy certification and contract development certification is worth it for opportunities in the space as I am both a dev as well as smart contract auditor ?

Hey @Bizarro
We are making a new certification program, for Daml 3.x as current one is 2.x

Hi Bizarro, welcome to the community!

We always love to see the enthusiasm for learning Daml from new members. To help you explore the ecosystem and get certified without worrying about the cost right now, I am going to send you a DM shortly with a 100% off discount code for the current certification.

Also, as @Jatin_Pandya_cf mentioned, we have a new certification program for Daml 3.x in the works. If you’d like to try it out as a beta user and give feedback, feel free to DM Jatin! Given your background as a dev + smart contract auditor, your insights would be valuable.
