Hello everyone! Several months ago, I was searching for a MongoDB course. I was exploring options for free or affordable courses, and here I am now! Iā€™ll keep this post brief. So let's get started!

To attain this free certification, you just need one thing: GitHub Student Pack

(Github Student Pack)

What is GitHub Student Pack?

GitHub Student Pack is a program that offers free software, services and benefits to students and educational institutions. I wonā€™t delve into the specifics here but for more information, you can check this link.

What comes next?

On this link, you will find the MongoDB under Infrastructure & APIs offers section. It offers $50 in MongoDB Atlas Credits and a $150 MongoDB Certification. Perfect!

This link will display the two options previously mentioned by the GitHub Developer Pack.

(Advantages)

Regarding the certificate, you have two options: the DBA Learning Path or the Developer Learning Path. (I chose the developer learning path)

The good thing is that you can choose the programming language that you want.

Learning Path

Final step, you have to complete one of the learning paths you chose. These learning paths are very well prepared. (e.g. python developer learning path) After you complete the path, you will be able to apply for the free certification exam.
