Can you be a little more specific about your question? It is too vague to be directed in any particular direction.
Do you mean to ask about the experience with HR professional certificates or courses offered by private institutes?
In this case, I have not done any, so I have zero personal experience.
One thing I have concluded from the different calls that I receive is as follows:
1) Most of the counselors there are actually salespeople who would try to persuade you that completing their course will provide you with an easy entry to your dream job.
2) Regardless of your qualifications, they will advise you the same thing (possibly due to their training).
3) They may go to great lengths to convince you as they have targets to meet.
4) Once, a gentleman called me to introduce their professional training and how their certification could help. He wanted to meet in person. Despite my explanation that his office was too far for me to commute and it was impossible for me to travel that distance, he continued to sell the idea by suggesting I could attend classes on Sundays and sacrifice my only day off for a better future or career growth.
Honestly, I believe in one thing:
In order to succeed, one needs to work. If we are idle, collecting degrees and certificates without putting in the effort, how can we progress?
I came across a relevant quote this morning that I would like to share as it resonates with this situation:
"A little knowledge that is applied is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle." - Kahlil Gibran
I hope this helps.
