What these credentials are — and what they aren't

Each cert is a standalone credential

Unique ID, public verification URL, one-click LinkedIn add. Employers can verify directly — no middleman.

Built for working engineers

Self-paced, no cohorts, no prerequisites beyond the prior step. Finish each certificate in an evening.

2–6 hours per certificate

Short focused modules and a final quiz. No fluff. Designed to fit around a full-time engineering role.

Not a degree or accreditation

Boston Hacking Company is an independent training provider. Practical credential, not a university course.
