Hello, I'm exploring the possibility of introducing Rust into our organisation. We're a contracting company and would like to be able to project confidence in the skills of our engineers to customers e.g "We have certified Rust engineers". Are there certificates out there that are officially recogn…

The general consensus seems to be: there are none. Some people shared links to companies that give training, thank you for that :pray: It would be great if the Rust Foundation had a list of recommended training partners on the homepage (the learning page would be a good spot). Go does, and Oracle …

While I don't know of any formal certification programs for Rust engineers, there is Ferrocene which provides certified versions of the Rust compiler for industries that need such things.

Interesting idea. Never my 40 years career I have worked with anyone who had certifications any programming language. Not even in safety-critical areas like avionics or military projects. Usually knowing the language was not even a strict requirement for getting a job on a project. It was just a det…

I'm afraid that you got me curiosity. What industry and what language even cares about certificates? I think I knew about some certificiate from Microsoft (Microsoft Certified Professional that was called, right?), but even that it wasn't related to any language (and I have found out that one of us…

Certifications do exist in the industry, for example from Microsoft and Red Hat , but neither of those have anything about particular programming languages AFAIK.

More of a thing in devops/sysadmin space, and also are widely regarded to be a borderline scam.

I've never even interviewed with a company that requires or expects A+ or other CompTIA certifications. But then again, I have also never worked for a company that requires any credentials of any kind, not even a high school diploma. Perhaps the labor landscape has changed drastically, but I grew u…

A certificate heavy resume is a red flag. The measure of a Rust developer is the quality of software they have written, and ideally, what is proven in production. If you're looking to dazzle, sell and snare uninformed clients with a subpar offering, you may as well just make up some certs and conc…

I'm veering off topic here but I've always thought that it is kind of wild how software engineering still lacks widely established formal professional qualifications. Like you wouldn't expect your doctor to just be someone who taught themselves medicine from the internet in 6-12 months. You might b…

If your rust code compiles and you don't use "unsafe", that is a pretty good certification.
