Commonlounge is one of the best resources for absolute beginners to get started with coding and build their own websites and small apps. We're also a great resource to master highly technical topics like Machine Learning, Data Science and Competitive Programming.

Given this wide range of expertise levels across which our content is available, it's often confusing for beginners to know where to start. So, we built Paths to help you with exactly that!

What are Paths?

Paths on Commonlounge are a personalized learning plan created just for you based on your goals and current skill levels. They are collections of courses that can be followed in order. Want to see what a sample path looks like? Here's the complete Web Development Path.

CommonLounge members on the Pro or Plus plans are eligible for certification once they complete a course that offers Pro Projects or Quizzes.

To request your certificate, please drop us an email at hello@commonlounge.com with "Certificate Request" and the name of the course you've completed in the subject line. For members still on their 7-day Pro trial, certificates are issued once the first payment gets completed successfully after the trial period ends.

Once we issue a course completion certificate, it'll be verifiable via a link on CommonLounge and will be valid forever, even if you decide to not continue your Pro or Plus membership later.

The certificate contains certain stats around your performance in the course: like average of your Quiz scores, the number of Projects completed (if applicable), and the time spent going through the course.

This is what a sample CommonLounge certificate looks like:

Block Types

• Heading: # + SPACE
• Sub-heading: ## + SPACE
• Bullet: * + SPACE
• Numbered bullet: 1. + SPACE
• Code block: ``` + SPACE or select the text and do CMD + SHIFT + k

• Image or YouTube Video: Copy paste an image url into the editor and it will automatically appear
• Question in Article: CMD + SHIFT + g
• Section break (Bite-sized article): Command + SHIFT + ?

Hello, I have a question. After completion of course, will I get certificate from you if I don't have membership?

I have subscribed for pro membership and cancelled after using it for 2 days. How can I get the refund?

We are excited to announce that we are releasing Quizzes on Commonlounge today! They are a fun way for you to test each other's, as well as your own knowledge about anything under the sun. For example, you can make a quiz on fan trivia for TV Shows based communities, or practice tests for learning based communities. We are most surprised by use cases you come up with for features we build, so we're looking forward to some amazing quizzes from you. Here's how you create one:
