Hi.
I am wondering if I should try to get the "Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate" as I have "some" training in security, but no documentation of knowledge. I have read this and it looks like the questions in not that hard, https://www.reliablesoft.net/google-cybersecurity-certificate-review
I have a stable unrelated IT job and no plans to switch to cybersecurity. I think of this most as a "nice to have" cert.
So I have some questions:
- Is there anything I has to do besides multiple choice tests?
- How hard is it?
- Is the the teaching mostly videos?
- How many tries do I have on the tests?
- How fast is it realistically to do this thing?
I have never used Coursera.
To be honest cyber security is not the most exciting topic but I recognize that it is an important area to know
Hey everyone,
I recently completed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, and I’m looking for advice on what to do next. Since this was a beginner-level course, I want to gain more hands-on experience and build my skills further.
From your experience, what would be the best next step? Should I:
-
Start working on projects (home lab, CTFs, SIEM setup, etc.)?
-
Go for another certification like Security+, CC (ISC2), or something else?
-
Look for an internship or entry-level role to get real-world experience?
I’d love to hear from those who’ve been through this stage—what worked best for you? Also, if you have any specific project ideas or labs I should try, drop them in the comments!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
