Certifications and Training

Laila Aziz · 4d ago

I’ve taken a bunch of online courses and earned a few certs to boost my resume. While they look good on paper, I honestly don’t know how to apply what I’ve learned in the actual job. The classes were so theoretical, nothing like the messy, fast-paced nature of work. Sometimes I feel a bit lost and question if those certs are even useful beyond impressing HR. Anyone else feel this way? How do you actually make use of what you learn from online courses in daily work?

At my workplace, I’ve noticed different kinds of training offered from technical skills workshops to soft skills like communication and leadership. I’m curious, what kind of training do you usually get at your company? Do you feel these sessions actually help you grow or are they just a checkbox activity? Also, are there any trainings you wish your employer would offer but never do? Would love to hear what’s common in your workplace!

Been working hard to complete online certs to level up my skills. But lately I keep hearing things like “Certs no use one,” or “Why waste time? Experience more important" from my family. I get that hands-on experience matters, but does that mean upskilling is pointless? I’m genuinely trying to improve myself, not just for show. Anyone else faced this kind of discouragement? How do you respond without sounding defensive? Or better yet—how do you prove your certs are worth it?

Every job posting I see these days comes with a requirement list of certs—PMP, CFA, Google this, Tableau that. It’s overwhelming. I get that upskilling is important, but some of these courses aren’t cheap, and there’s no guarantee they’ll actually lead to a better job or higher pay. I don’t want to throw money at random certs just because it looks good on paper. For those of you who did get hired or promoted after getting certified, which ones actually made a difference?

Can you really land a good job in Singapore with just certifications and no degree? 🤔 I’ve been wondering if companies here truly value hands-on skills more than formal education. I know a degree still opens a lot of doors, but with so many fast-paced industries like tech, finance, and marketing evolving, certifications seem to matter more nowadays. So, do you think having certs can give you the edge over degree holders when applying for jobs, or is a degree still a must?

I recently finished an online certification course and was super proud of myself, until I found out it’s not even recognised by most companies in SG 😞. I asked HR if it could boost my profile, but they said they only accept certs from certain providers. Super sian… spent all that time and money for nothing. Anyone else kena like this before? How do you all check whether a cert is worth it before signing up? Should there be like an official registry or guide for this?

Hi, I have completed the Microsoft words in Nov 2024 and completed PowerPoint Pro certificate in early Dec 2024. However, I realized that the certificates are never reflected or send to me. Hence, I wonder if these courses simply all the crash courses for me. Did anyone get your certificate after you completed the course in JobStreet ? Thank you for your comments in advance.
