These are Global Certs IT editorial fit ratings, not official provider rankings or learner reviews. A 5/5 role match is directly aligned with the role; 4/5 adds supporting skills. Experience adjusts the score to help you distinguish a practical next step from a stretch goal.
With “Any experience”, ratings show role relevance alone. A credential supports your profile; practical skills, projects and your target employer’s technology still matter.
