    It depends on the client obviously, but you could come at it from another angle. For example, if you got to grips with something like Ansible and published a few playbooks on GitHub which gained popularity, the stars are as good a sign as a piece of paper that you know what you're doing. Just a thought.

      yeah, the world really needs more Ansible playbooks, well written or otherwise

                While I was waiting for my LTD admin I did a few bits on AWS using acloud guru courses. Cheap and the exams weren't tooooooo expensive.

                I did Solutions architect and developer associate after a few (3-4) part time weeks of study.

                Was far more useful to me as a PM than Prince 2 that I've held (and refreshed) for 10 years+

                All in all, two certs for less than £500 including exam fees was worth the investment. Once you pass those you can join the APN and sit lots of online partner type quals for nowt.

                  GDPR?

                  Free course here: https://info.varonis.com/gdpr-attack-plan

                  Blog post from the author with some extra background: https://www.troyhunt.com/free-course...r-attack-plan/

                  I did a sample test for the Foundation certificate (this course, which has a reasonable fee for distance learning and includes a remote proctored exam) and got 75% without reading the material.

                  GDPR goes live in one year - lots of projects wanting people with relevant skills
