Our recommendation
freeCodeCamp's front-end libraries certification, covering React, Redux, Sass, Bootstrap and jQuery through hands-on projects. It is a solid, free next step after the JavaScript certification, focused on the tools front-end developers actually use. You build real projects and earn a free certificate.

Good for: Learners who know JavaScript and want to learn React and front-end libraries.

Less suitable if: You are new to JavaScript, or you only want vanilla JavaScript.

Build component-based UIs with React hooks and functional components
Manage application state with Redux
Build responsive layouts rapidly with Bootstrap
Write maintainable CSS using Sass variables and mixins
Complete five certification projects for a verifiable portfolio
