CertWorthIt answers one question: is the certificate worth it? It counts how often real job ads name certifications such as PMP, CCNA, CompTIA or AWS, then shows the share of matching ads that mention each one. Counts come from the Adzuna API, and AI analyses the data and writes the pages and reports. Every figure links to its source.
The site tracks 105 certifications with job-ad data from 411,984 job ads counted in 10 countries. PMP appears in 24% of US project manager job ads, while the top course certificate appears in only a handful of ads for the same role.
