Testimonials (A word from our certified programmers)
Preparing for the exam was a perfect learning experience. The learning resources and the practice
problems on the platform are extremely helpful in learning new concepts. All the questions in the
exam were creative and fun to solve.
Being an experienced developer, I regularly try to keep learning to program. Giving this exam has
been a good learning experience for me. When I took the foundation exam the first time, I failed but
then I did prepare myself better and now I have cleared the Advanced level exam.
My experience was very good at the exam centre. The computers we top notch and the environment was
also very silent. The Invigilators were humble and helpful.
This certification is essential to me as I think CodeChef is one of the most popular competitive
programming platforms globally, and every company recognizes a certificate from this website. This
certificate will boost my resume and help me create a strong resume.
If you want to get yourself recognized by top software companies, then CodeChef certification is the
best way to do so.
