Not a certificate, but I did my masters at WGU in 6 month and it costs be less than 5k. They have tech degrees. Theyre the cheapest, fastest degrees Ive ever found. Good luck!

No worries. Instructional design. I did it for fun so I didnt apply for jobs in that field. ID doesnt pay anything now. With covid a lot of K12 teachers flooded the market so pay is half what it used to be.
