From the looks of it, this looks way better than the sec+ or other security certifications I’ve seen. The focus on actually taking you from an absolute beginner to some who gets it and the reason why. I believe you should do this verification for the knowledge, not for the cert. I know soo many at work with little certifications but massive understanding, but most comments I see seem to focus on just gaining certifications to impress

[@11davethewave]

Thank you so much for this ! I got my CompTIA certs because of you & network chuck. Next up for me is security+ should I then get this certificate ?

[@RealTeflonJuan]

you need to know that these youtubers are pushing for this cert , and nobody in the real world care about the google certs , none have taken the course, i have the Google IT cert, and when looking for a job, you will never find in the requirements that says Google IT support.

I'm on the 5th course right now.Although with SQL, I sort of breezed through and just took the final quizes and passed 97%. I am exhausted because I am speed runnning through these (been about a week so far), but I hope it will be worth it in the end. And yeah, a newbie learns so much from this, I think my CS background, software engineering and IT experience has come in handy for me. Most of these are revision so far, but I am also learning A LOT!

You say entry-level but do you think this would be useful for CISSP holders/those going for manager or principal consultant positions? I ask as to me this seems invaluable for a leader....

Regardless of what people think of the Google certifications and whether employers actually value them, the Corsera platform itself is great. I earned the Google IT support certificate through Coursera prior to the CompTIA A+. This is something I will absolutely consider taking prior to or after the Sec+ exam.

[@CostcoIsLife]

I've recently been interested into trying to jump into this field. Coming into this with no prior experience in a professional setting. besides maybe having some hardware knowledge on building a computer. i feel these kind of courses might be a great start for me to see if this is something I could see my self doing in the future. but I'm not 100% sure where to start or what certification to go for first. I saw that they have Google IT Support Professional Certificate and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I was curious on which one is better start to get into it, or if the content between the two , are too different that they cant be compared. If anyone has any tips or advice or their personal experience on how to go about it i would greatly appreciate your feedback.

[@CyberBunee]

[@froedge]

What's cool is you can also take the Sec+ exam afterwards at a discounted price and earn a dual credential (especially important for employment purposes). Was going to go straight into Sec+ after my CCNA but now I'm considering doing this first.

[@cbot375]

Google certificates are not really respected so I wouldn't call it a valued credential. I'd get it only for personal reasons not associated with job prospects. It's a certificate in which anyone can create one...I mean it respectfully. If you are considering Google certificate only do it if you are unsure about an IT route and want to explore some related topics. If you are sure about an IT route I would just jump straight into something aimed at helping you pass a Comptia certification.

I will have to revisit now when I am done with ISC2 certified in cyber. However, what’s your take on certified in cyber compared to the google cybersecurity?

[@Itcareerquestions]

I think the isc2 deal is a money grab, this Google program is much more cost effective and practical imo.

[@drickzee]

ISC2 is def money grab. I took the course at self-paced and practiced the exams several times which made me feel comfortable until I showed up to take the cert exam and realised that the questions on the exams has nothing to do with what you learned in ISC2 and their practice exams. I was disappointed that I’m studying using other resources and will take it again. I’m looking to sign up for the Google Cyber course as well

But based on my research, Google got with about 150 other companies who needed help in hiring cybersecurity professionals and they all agreed to hire people from this certification.

If you have done this, can you respond with your experience in obtaining a job? And if possible can you give what position, employer and maybe even the income range? I started on the course but left it when I was told you can’t get a job with just this certification.
