There is no perception of scarcity in the market of online certification so they carry little weight.

That doesn’t mean you don’t gain valuable knowledge but it’s unlikely to be in demand from an employer.

There could be scarcity if few people could successfully complete the certification. The problem is whether it is trustworthy though.
