freeCodeCamp launched a new JavaScript certification with hundreds of hours of interactive lessons, workshops, labs, and quizzes covering core concepts like variables, functions, DOM manipulation, and async JavaScript. The certification includes five projects and concludes with a 50-question proctored exam using an open-source exam environment. The certification is free and verified, with anti-cheating measures including randomized questions, weekly attempt limits, manual review, and closed-book requirements. Results are reviewed by staff before release, and failed attempts can be retried after a one-week cooldown period.
