Is there such thing as "accepted" certificates when it comes to express entry?

[vladandrie51]

I'm a software developer and I want to get 2 certificates so I can boost up my CRS score.

What should I look for to be certain I can use those certificates in my Express Entry profile?

Is any certificate (of any difficulty) good enough?

There are certificates from Microsoft, Oracle or Cisco that are entry level so to speak, so getting 2 of them would be a breeze. Would they be suitable for my purpose?

Thank you.

These won't get you any points. So the short answer is no - they won't be suitable.

To get points, you would need to complete an education program that is full time and likely at least eight months in length.
