I have heard about Elninki’s and Harvard’s programs, can I join them now or is there a specific date?
Random programming certificates are generally worthless. The course to get them might teach you a lot and be worth while, but the certificate at the end is worthless. If it is free then it does not matter too much either way, might be a good way to test yourself. But I would not rely on it to get you a job at all. For that you need other ways to prove you can do the job - typically with the ability to talk about stuff and having written some real world like application. Which a course might help you do to.
I’d agree except I’ve known way, way too many people who think certification is some elite level of anything.
Do it, get the cert, why not. Some moron will give you an extra point on your interview or what the fuck ever.

Why would I want to work for a moron?
The moron could be in HR instead of IT.
Because it pays well and is in an industry you’re interested in. Why would you want to work for anybody?
If you’re talking about the cs50 course Harvard offers online, you can join anytime you want. The course is spread over 11 weeks and you can submit the tests anytime before the end of the year if you want the certificates.
