The BEST beginner Cyber Security Certification | Review

[@Nekesu]

This video came at the right time. I do currently have Security+ materials and plan on taking that. That plus the Google Cert seems to be a great foundation combo that will get my foot in the door.

[@UnixGuy]

good luck!! and when you finish it, check this out for an idea of what to do after: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoOtmpZuq6iimqc

I am glad i watched this one. I have been in the It field for 6 years now with mainly NOC MSP experience. I was going to study for CCNA just to have a certificate, but i do not qant a career in networking ( switches and routers) this video is great and provided the answer and guidance i was looking for given that the google cert covera foundation networking skills. I also found it a waste of time to need to study for CCNA when in the last four years i have been working with switches. Thank you very much.

You just sold me on the Google course. I am looking to get back into the IT field, I got a CCNA and A+ nearly 20 years ago and I got a few odd jobs but nothing stuck. I also had issue with folks who would lie through their teeth about their capabilities, get hired making way more money and knowing far less then me. Yet I am holding the bag on nearly $30k in student loan debt. Left a very sour taste in my mouth, but I want to give it another go. I am 53 and am hoping that my overall experience will give me a boost. I have been using Linux for years as my daily desktop, I have taken a Python course, dabbled in C, took a Java course. and am currently working on a engine control system from scratch for a Mitsubishi diesel engine. Also considering taking a Technical Writing Certificate course as I believe that a large portion of IT is in fact writing technical documentation of courses of action and processes and procedures. First things first I need to go pass my Linux Essentials course this Tuesday so I already got the Linux part down, then I can jump on this Google course. Oh ya, PreCalc next semester to hone those problem solving skills ;) Wow, if any one read this far, thanks! I don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff so I kind get carried away in the comments! Cheers!

I’m currently doing the Google Cert and just finished module 1 in a day and a half. I passed my first graded exam with a 100% . What I fear is that I only passed because the information was brand new to me and just taught to me. I’m afraid that I won’t retain what I’ve read. I’ve taken a lot of notes over 2,000 words just in module one in obsidian. I’ve never been great at studying so I was wondering if maybe I should take the exam a day or 2 after reviewing the material that way I can study the notes for a day or 2 and possibly retain it better? Or should I just keep going at the rate I’m going at? I made some flash cards with the terminology and definitions but I’m afraid that I’m not retaining what I’m being taught..

@@UnixGuy Thanks sir! My initial plan is to study the Google IT support certificate, then Comptia A+ (No exam), then Network + (No exam), then Google Cybersec Certificate, then Security + (completing the exam). What do you think? Are there some redundancy with my roadmap to get my first cybersecurity job? Then focus on offsec.

So I also was doing the google IT support certification and I'm on course 3 of the 5 but my goal is to ultimately work in cyber security. I really want to get my foot in the door as a computer technician but ultimately want a very technical and respected role that pays well. I was going to get the google IT certificate and then enroll at WGU for a cybersecurity degree. Should I continue the google IT and get a cybersecurity degree? Should i stop the google IT cert and get the google cyber security cert? I'm looking for the most efficient way to get a job to get my foot in the door and work my way up towards my goal.

[@UnixGuy]

continue the IT support and when u finish it do the google cyber cert. Also do the WGU degree they’re solid and can be finished quickly and cheaply

[@pachabee]

I'm currently taking the Google IT Support certificate, and while I'm learning a ton off it, I really struggled with the Network section. Networking is something I really want to understand and know. I'm unsure if it's because Networking is extremely difficult to understand, or if the course wasn't done well. I felt like they just threw a bunch of IP addresses at me and gave me acronyms every 10 seconds. I passed that section but felt like I learned nothing. Hoping to learn from another source such as this, or elsewhere.

[@UnixGuy]

Networking will keep coming up so don’t steess. This course goes over it again and you can always look for topics you don’t grasp and deep dive in them

@@UnixGuy The Professor Messer recommendation you gave was excellent. His Network+ is a long series of many short videos, but all were succinct and helpful.

I'm currently pursuing the two bootcamps that pay you to train.
