11,927 PointsNo fanfare for track completion :(
I've been a member for some time now and have delved in and out of several courses as my skills have progressed. Today I was very proud of myself for completing a track, but is Treehouse proud of me? No card, no fanfare - not even an email?! :(
My point here is that I receive emails at the end of a section – great for motivation, but I received no pat on the back for a track that (because I work so much and also break from the track to research elements) has taken a few months to complete. I'm ecstatic I finally completed it and have confidence in my new found skills – but nobody gave me a high five!
Maybe asking for an actual fanfare is too much, but send me an email with an animated gif, tell me "well done", pat me on the back, keep up my morale!

5,501 PointsI +1 the certificate idea! That sounds awesome! Many websites do that when you finish a course and it is pretty awesome.

10,870 PointsI 100% agree profile pages should display completed tracks - and maybe even the estimate of hours that each track takes to do! It shows people how much time you've invested in honing your skills!

8,930 PointsCompletely agree with this! You should get a "treehouse certificate" or something as a form of recognition and although not legally binding, it shows commitment and dedication and hard work to achieve. Tracks are not that easy and certainly long. I +1 for more recognition for track completion in any shape or form!
