Last week, Coursera launched the first-of-its-kind Google IT Support Professional Certificate. This specialization program is made up of six courses developed exclusively by Google, and is designed to take beginner learners to job readiness in eight to 12 months - upon completion of the certificate, learners can share their information with top employers like Bank of America, Walmart, Sprint, and, of course, Google.
About the Course
Through a dynamic mix of video lectures, quizzes, and hand-on labs and widgets, this program will introduce you to troubleshooting and customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, automation, and security.
Along the way, you’ll hear from Googlers with unique backgrounds and perspectives, whose own foundation in IT support served as a jumping off point for their careers. They’re excited to go on this journey with you, as you invest in your future by achieving an end-of-program certificate.
If you dedicate 8-10 hours a week to the courses, you can complete the certificate in about eight months. You can also skip through any content that you might already know and speed ahead to the graded assessments.
Cost
The 6 individual courses can be audited for free. However, if you wish to receive a verified certificate to share with employers,the price of the Google IT Certificate is just $49/month, with a risk-free 7-day free trial. Google is also giving out 10,000 need-based scholarships to help cover costs.
