Pausing my freecodecamp learning process for a chingu voyage

nourabousoha · December 16, 2017, 1:02pm

Hello
I was starting the Advanced Front End Development Projects part of the camp, when i heard about the chingu voyage challenge and i enrolled in the voyage 3, so now I’m working with a voyage 3 team on a project using the MERN stack that will keep me busy until 20 January .
is that OK or i will have issues obtaining my front end certificate if i complete the freecodecamp challenges projects later .
thank for your advice.

What matters is that you’re still coding. The Chingu cohorts are awesome and you’ll learn tons. If anything, you should have an easier time finishing your FreeCodeCamp certifications afterwards.

You should be ok.

There was a post a month or so ago when they mentioned moving to the beta end of Dec that if you are enrolled in fCC before the end of this year the old certs will still be available…

Will look for a link and post it here if/when I find it…

Edit: from freeCodeCamp's new certificates - here's how we're rolling them out

What happens to the old certificates?
If you’ve already earned a certificate, you will always have it. You will always be able to link to it from your LinkedIn or résumé. And when your prospective employers or freelance clients click that link, they’ll see a verified certificate specific to you.

And if you’ve already started working toward the Front End Development or Back End Development certificate, and still want to claim it, don’t worry - you can will always be able to claim these certificates - even after we release the beta challenges.

All of the required projects for these old certificates will remain available on freeCodeCamp. For the old certificates, you can complete old versions of the projects.

As long as you created your account before midnight EST on December 31, 2017, you will be able to claim these old certificates any time you want, and they’ll start showing up on your freeCodeCamp profile.
