Don't put too much trust in so called "certificates" from these schools.

Absolutely this.

During an interview, an applicant bragged about how he was at the top of his class in computer science and could not stop mentioning his GPA. I turned off my video because I couldn't stop laughing.

His portfolio was dogshit too.
