Trying my life around. Just entrolled in IBM Skills Build and Google Digital Garage programs. Trying to find more certification programs for Cybersecurity and Digital Marketing.

Also suggest some affirmative methods of building confidence.

greetings, i've just found out about google certificates and have been doing research about it, and some say that those certificates helps them landing a job, and since i'm a beginner with no prior experience, i'm unable to decide which one that could offer me a promising career. here's the courses that they offer:

• google cybersecurity

• data analytics

• digital marketing

• it support

• project management

• ux design

any kind of feedback would be much appreciated, thank you in advance

Im not sure if this is the right place for this, or the right flair. I sincerely apologize if it isn't, and if that's the case, where do I go to ask this?

I'm thinking about taking a course from Google, specifically the "Google IT Support Professional Certificate" course, and I want to hear some honest opinions/reviews of it. I'm currently a senior in high school working part-time, and am also wondering if it'd be possible to take this course with my current situation, or is it more feasible to take it after high school?

What are some foundational certifications that are free and can help me with cybersecurity and working with the cloud?

Did anyone apply for the free google certification license? And if yes did you receive any follow up email? I applied and I’m wondering how long it would take to hear back. I would love to start soon so I can have it completed by the time I take my last class in July.

The 'free' coursera trial that comes as part of the 'free' google course requires that you drop in your credit card, etc., and you'll be charged after 30 days or so i think, but to actually get the cert i _think_ you need to pay them something anyways, but i'm not sure, and I don't know how much that something is.

Anyone know?

Thank you.

Can I get a Job with a Google certificate??

Hello!! I (27M) currently work in Healthcare/Education. I’m a “Wellness Coach”, which is essentially an emotional counselor for kiddos at a boys & girls club, but I work for Terros Health. I run classes/programs teaching kids about their emotions and healthy lifestyles as well as being a coach if they need assistance emotionally.

I’ve worked in this field for the past 5-6 years. I love it, but it doesn’t pay the bills as you can imagine. I honestly would be happy if I could make around 75-80K.

My question is, if I started my google certification for the PM position, what’s the likelihood I could get a job?? I’ve seen mixed reviews and I really don’t want to commit to something that won’t help me.

Any advice would help! I just got married and would really like to upgrade my life essentially, for my family and myself.

Thank you so much for any advice!!

For students are there any discounts?

I came across a thread in this subreddit before about free certifications from google for different applications and processes. Anyone have the link to that thread or could point me in the right direction as to what I need to get started. 27 years old and I’ve never been to college but that hasn’t ever stopped me from wanting to learn. Thanks!!

I've been looking for free or relatively cheap courses that teach just about everything about Google Workspace (slides, sheets, docs, gmail, etc.) that also give certificates - I'd like to put one on my resume. Does anyone know of any good ones?

Got the opportunity in one of my classes to pick up an IT google certificate for free. Been reading some posts and ive heard people say that they are not worth the time, but since I dont have a certification under my belt, and im getting it for free, I feel like It wouldnt hurt to knock one out. Was thinking about either Cybersecurity, IT Support, or Data Analytics, would like to know your thoughts!

A co-worker told me about a google program called coursera. The following programs are what are offered.

1. Cyber security

2. Data analytics

3. digital marketing & e-commerce

4. IT support

5. project management

6. UX design

Are these programs legit? They advertise people who have gotten jobs with their program certificates and show reviews. It seems affordable, self paced and takes 3-6 months?

Let’s say I do it, are any of these in high demand? Hard to find?

Are they worth it? I really want to get a certificate for Data Analyst and IT from Google but i don't know if it will actually help me get a job in Google or elsewhere with a good starting pay. Has anyone here got a job with google with just their certificate or know of anyone that even got a job with it???

Coursera offers free enrollment but what does that mean and free for how long and for what?

I am wondering if it is free to study AND take exam if you can complete it within the "free" period.

Does any know?

Hey everyone! I saw a Facebook post from DTI about their free "Google Career Certificate Program" on Coursera. I got really interested and registered through their Google Form about a month ago.

But since then, I haven’t received any update—no email, no confirmation, nothing. I’m just wondering, has anyone here actually been contacted or granted access to the courses? Or did they stop the program already?

It’s confusing since the post was just recently shared again. I’m asking here because Coursera’s financial aid no longer gives 100% free access like before, so I was really counting on this opportunity.

Here’s the FB post link for reference:

Just to follow up on my previous post from a month ago, I ended up making free courses for the rest of the Google Cloud certification exams.

You can access all the practice questions from the LearnGood explore courses page, no signup required. It's also not bad on mobile, aside from the accidental zooms, which can be pretty brutal. Hopefully this serves as a nice resource for the community. Cheers.

Questions on the site are generated directly from the exam guide that is available on the site. If there is a significant change between exam guide versions, a majority of the practice questions on the site may be irrelevant for the new version of the exam.

Hello! I recently went and bought a laptop with the specs needed to do data analytics, It work, or cyber security work because I want to take the google classes for any of those choices. My budget is very scarce right now. So the google certificate program for 49$ a month is doable for me. I want to learn and develop the skills needed for at least an entry level position for data analytics or cyber security or something along those lines. I desperately need a decent job and something that I can start building my future with,

So I suppose my question is, has anyone here done those google programs? If so, are they worth it? Did they help you get a job in your desired field? Are there any other online courses you'd suggest regarding data analytics or cyber security for about the same price? I really want to better myself and acquire new skills that will help me land a job in my desired field.

I really appreciate any advice/answers in advance!

Thank you so much!
