Do I need to to buy Scrimba Pro before starting a course to receive a certificate upon completion?

Would I be able to start a free course to make sure it’s a good fit for me, then buy Scrimba Pro at some point in the middle of the course, then receive the course certificate at the end? Or do I need to buy Scrimba Pro before starting the course?

Hey @Jake_Martin,

Yes that’s correct. You can start the course for free and then subscribe to unlock your certificate and other courses when you’re interested. The progress is saved so if you subscribed, it will just continue on from where you left off. There shouldn’t be any interruptions progress.

Just note that while some of our courses are free, we have a cap of 10 challenges that free accounts can use in our lessons. You will see a modal pop up notifying you if you reach this limit but you can skip this modal and continue on with the lesson still if the course is free.
