I was just wondering what everyone elses opinion was on this? I think it would be awesome if Teamtreehouse would implement end of course test and a certificate when completing full tracks.

351 PointsBuilding an impressive portfolio is really the best way but also having a certificate to show what you've learned here would be a nice asset as well. Also, on the cheating part they could implement a time limit to answer each question or a time limit to complete the whole test?

44,957 PointsMmm... this other learning platform, lynda.com, awards certificates with verification codes. You could then post it on your LinkedIn or whatever. So it's definitely a plausible idea... probably not the highest priority on Treehouse's list of to-dos though. But, in the meantime, you could always use the JSON API Treehouse provides to build a "certificate" for yourself... One that you can post on your own website. That would probably hold more weight with potential employers, if any.
