Is it worth it to do a certification in human resources from the UC Berkeley extension?

anyone hiring you worth you learning from would look past the certificate and seek practical demonstrations of your human resources knowledge and skills.

Unless you have a reason to believe the education for the certification is superior through Berkeley extension over other channels, you're likely going for the brand name, which may catch an eye on your resume or LinkedIn profile.

Thing is, how much do you want to work for or with someone impressed by a Berkeley extension certification course listed in your resume or profile's education section?

Okay, I'm being a bit mean here but what I'm trying to get at is that if you value your work and profession, you probably care more about the actual experience, knowledge, and skills needed to navigate the problems in your field. Certifications are proxies, suggesting you have such qualifications, but I urge you to care more about what you learn than the name on the certificate, and anyone hiring you worth you learning from would look past the certificate and seek practical demonstrations of your human resources knowledge and skills.
