Does finishing a techdegree give certification or prepare you for cert testing in your line of studied code? Who recognizes a TechDegree? Is it basically a digital certificate you earn for yourself or is there anything you will walk away with (mailed to you or able to print out) to show a prospective employer they can verify?
Advantage of tech degree vs traditional degree vs tradeschool re ability of employment (not cost and time)?

As to the support of getting hired through having a tech degree certificate, that really depends on the company and their hiring managers. More and more businesses are starting to accept online learning platforms though so I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of businesses would be willing to accept a tech degree from here as a viable education.
