Good day from the Netherlands,

I have a question about load and performance testen with Jmeter.  
What is or are good courses? Online is also a good possibility as I am learning more when it is visual. That is also because of my autism.  
Another question is if there is a certification for load / performance testen with Jmeter.

JMeter is an open source tool so the chance of having a Certificate is very low.  
But there is one company which provides it: [JMeter Certification Course | JMeter 4.0 Online Course | Vskills](https://www.vskills.in/certification/jmeter-tester-certification)  
Although it does look a bit shady (and a few versions behind), I wouldn’t try it because a certificate is just a piece of paper. I don’t think it will have an added value.

If you want to follow a free course: [JMeter Beginner Tutorial 1 - How to install Jmeter - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-iAXz8vs48&list=PLhW3qG5bs-L-zox1h3eIL7CZh5zJmci4c&ab_channel=AutomationStepbyStep-RaghavPal)  
He explains things very well and it’s easy to follow.

Hope it helps! 🙂

Yes it does help. Going not to take the certification but will follow the free course.
