I have a list with lists of all the certificates being used in my project.
I want to setup a notification (email) if certification expires (or say a week before expiration).
I would like to know solutions with and without code deployment (feature).

One option is to create a SharePoint Designer Workflow (meets your requirements), check this one, scroll down until you find the part it deals with the "Pause Until Date" activity.

This solution looks fine but "Pause Until Date" part looks messy, I would rather have list trigger a notification. Would there be a better solution using development or any other easier approach? Updated my question. Thanks.

I dont have a SPDesigner right now but I think the date you pause until can be dynamic. With Development you need to look at SPJobDefinitions, info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc406686.aspx

Look through the Information Management Policy Settings in your List Settings and see if you can use the content expiration to achieve this. You can trigger a workflow to run (e.g. one that sends a notification email) on an item based on a date field in your list.
So, for example, you can have it fire off an email on Created Date + 10 days to notify whomever of its pending expiration
