Which Certifications or Courses Have Made the Biggest Impact on Your IT Career Growth?

With so many certifications and online courses available, it can be hard to decide which ones are truly worth the time and investment. From cloud platforms like AWS and Azure to cybersecurity, data analytics, or project management certifications, everyone’s journey in IT looks a little different.

I’m curious to know which certifications or courses have genuinely helped you grow in your IT career. Did they open new opportunities, improve your technical expertise, or help you move into a leadership role?
