EdX certificates are absolutely worth it. Its price range is between 50-585$ per course where majority of courses are available within 50-150$ range for a course. What price tag would you put on an opportunity to study a subject on MIT or Harvard?
How much would cost you accommodation, tuition, your time to actually study there? Courses on EdX are made not by EdX but by individual universities which increases its value. EdX certificates have increased credibility because most of its courses have proctored exam (you are monitored during the exam by webcam, microphone and the record is reviewed by a person to avoid any cheating). This is so far the only one platform offering proctored exam in single courses. Example 1) If you would be hiring an employee and would be chosing between 2 candidates who have similar resumes and a few extra courses (with a similar content) where the first one would have courses on Coursera and the second one on EdX with proctored exams. Which one would you chose? Example 2) How much would you invest in order to increase your chances to get a better job? Would you invest 10$, 100$ or 1000$? Imagine if you would have this month 12 pints of beer less and invest this money into the certificate. How much better your life could get with just this small change?
