JS Institute Certification Program

OpenEDG JS Institute certification exams confirm your capability to work confidently with JavaScript and its associated web technologies across diverse professional and technical fields.

Whether you are beginning your journey or advancing toward specialized expertise, JS Institute credentials showcase your understanding of the language, its ecosystem, and its real-world uses — spanning front-end and back-end development, web and mobile applications, automation, and cloud-driven solutions.

Study, Practice, Certify

At the JS Institute, we believe meaningful learning emerges from a full cycle of preparation, practice, and verification. Our Study, Practice, Certify approach is built to support you at every stage, helping you develop practical skills, reinforce your understanding, and gain confidence as you progress through your learning journey.

Study

Build your skills through structured courses and guided learning paths that introduce concepts step by step. You can access free study materials on the OpenEDG Edube Platform. If you prefer instructor-led training, take advantage of the global network of Cisco Networking Academy and OpenEDG Education Partners, offering both classroom and online courses.
