For some reason this link is not taking me to your course...only the coursecareers website. I even signed up, and it still does not work Update: Never mind, I found it. Thanks for the info.
Good morning Josh. Not sure about 2023, but in 2022 the Google IT Professional Support certainly helped me land a Desktop Support Analyst role with a University and an interview with another. It wasn’t listed as a desired qualification in the job spec but when I talked about what the course entailed the interviewers appreciated it. They also have some sort skill stuff in the course too and template CV’s. I’d recommend it to somebody who wants to switch career.
Hi all, just wanted to share my experience with the Google IT Certificate. I completed the Google IT Support certificate a month ago. I watch Josh’s videos almost religiously. I used his resume template, and took his advice on creating a GitHub, and interview practice. I’ve applied to about 90 jobs. I’ve had 4 interviews. I just received/accepted my first job offer as an IT Support Technician. No prior experience in tech. Transitioning from an overnight warehouse job. It is definitely possible to get an entry level job in IT, listen and do what Josh suggest. Side note, I would’ve also happily paid the price for his courses to expedite the process and get his one-on-one help but financially I couldn’t but if I had the extra money it would’ve gone to that 100%. Now with my new job and its boost in pay I will likely get his cybersecurity course in the near future. Thank you seriously Josh for all the value you provide with your content! Hope this helps those in the pursuit, keep going!
Yo congratulations man, what kind of task do you do at this position ? I’m in a similar life situation and want to transition into tech, was looking at digital marketing but I’m going to start the google it cert soon. 🙏
Hi brother need ur help to get into IT as I’m new to IT,I stay in Uk is google IT support enough and what skills need to learn pls let me know thanks.🙏
@@RealZayComo Thank bro! So I’m getting close now to having 6 months of experience in my IT support specialist role and can say it’s been great. Since starting I’ve done all kinds of task, provisioning computers and creating user credentials for new hires. Workstation setups. Assist with keeping company website up to date, fixing website functionality issues. Basic helpdesk troubleshooting task like resetting passwords, hardware and software help. Prior to me starting there, the IT Dept didn’t have a ticketing system to log,track, and monitor service tickets so I’ve been able to help with the implementation of that as well. My experience has been great, learning stuff all the time and gaining experience. Ya man go for it!
@@ak99989 I’m not from UK so I can’t really speak confidently on how effective having the IT support cert will be for you in the UK job market bro. But what I can say confidently is the Google Cert will give you a very good base of knowledge and what you can expect when working in Help desk/IT Support. The cert gave me my foundational knowledge for IT. Josh’s information on how to get into IT showed me how to execute during the job hunt. Josh has great videos just teaching actual technical skills. You should get the cert and join Josh’s course for real. If you apply what he teaches you, you’ll get a IT job at minimum.
@@MrSneakerhead951 wow that’s great bro that sounds like interesting fulfilling work unlike warehouse slave work this got me pumped up I’m going to start that GOOGLE IT CERTIFICATE so that I can get out of this horrible warehouse job. Thanks a lot for the feedback bro I appreciate the reply. Keep killing it at your new job 💯🙏💪👏🔥
WGU actually had me take the Google IT cert in order to be accepted into their b.a program because I couldn't get my highschool transcript. So if you were like me, you can take this Google course to satisfy their entrance requirements
Google IT Cert is super hard. I am on week 4 System Administration and IT Infrastructure Services and I have no IT experience and it is giving to much high level information for an entry position. I have had to google and use youtube for a lot of help. I don't understand way they give information to things that you will never touch.
I'm taking your IT course and the Google IT Cert at the same time, and so far, I'd say it's worth the $50. Even if it doesn't help me get a job, it's useful in other ways, such as providing great information that could help prepare me to take the Comptia a+ as well as being the prerequisite I need to get into WGU. It can be worth it depending on what u wanna do!
I have this cert and got the AZ 900 yesterday. They were nice to familiarize myself with terminology and basic concepts although it was brutal because I felt like I was looking up definitions literally every 10 seconds when watching, but neither cert teaches technical skills. On to learning about Active Directory. I need to resume spamming resumes.
For clarification. The google coursera program is not to be compared to any certification like the A+… it’s more on line with a one semester certificate program at the local community college.
@@JoshMadakor You’ve inspired me to be a WGU stan I start in February but I only transferred gen Ed classes so I’m about 17% done thank you for your guidance
i finished the it support google cert earlier this month. not sure if im rdy for an entry level position because i never worked in it. i am changing career path from being a cook
WGU told me that because I don’t have experience and don’t have any certs that I have to take this Google IT very in order to be elgible to get in….did not know that and most channels don’t even speak on this!
They used to push folks into WGU academy. It's the same concept to prepare you for the work and online learning. While doing Google IT be sure to work on the Gen Ed's and program specific courses you can transfer in. That way you'll be ahead of the game and we'll prepared.
Hey Josh, I've been working on a Coursera program called the Meta Android Developer. I really want to get into software development and I'm very interested in Android but I've also been considering the WGU Software Development degree. Do you think it's worth the extra money to get the degree or should I stick with the program I've been working on? Also, I don't currently work in IT and I have a degree in something else.
Hey Josh, I’m currently about to graduate high school this spring and was wondering if it’s better to go to community or university college for IT, i understand that going to university can be expensive but with that I also want to minor in finance so I don’t think Community will offer that much of a better course, also as a side note, should I just take online courses like CBT nuggets or WGU rather than a college experience considering they may have a better perspective on the recent sort of trend to do with cloud computing?
Not sure what your knowledge level is in tech but interview confidence just comes with experience. If all you’re doing is speaking the truth (with a little finesse 👀) then it’s not so hard. You’ll always be a little bit afraid speaking in front of people , but just focus on knowing your stuff and actually do some interviews !
Hey Josh, or if anyone else knows, what happens if we finish your course early? Do we still pay full price? I’m snatching it up regardless. Just curious. Thanks.
Hey, this is a good question. There is a 14 day refund policy, but if someone finishes the course before then, they aren't eligible for refund. (also fwiw, I don't set or deal with pricing/refunds etc at all, this is just stuff that i've happened to pick up)
The IT field is frequently changing with new upgrades, innovations, new developments, technological advancements, etc. Hence the need for continued learning, updating latest technical info. and applying these latest technical features to produce quality output...the certs. lay the foundation for growth and development....
Hello Josh! Thank you for another great content as always. Please can you give your input about WGU Bachelor degree in Network Engineering & Security compared to the Bachelor degree in Cloud Computing? Thank you in advance.
Good morning (evening?)! I noticed you recently doing more comparison videos and someone in a comment brought up the upcoming Software Engineering degree for WGU. Based on it's projected curriculum, how do you feel about it's "usefulness" for the classes included? Perhaps another, daresay, comparison video??? 😁😁🌴🌴 Keep up the good fight.
Based on my personal experience, I can say that Google Certificates alone may not take you very far in the UK, unless you have relevant experience, or even better, a bachelor's degree in computer science. However, it's worth noting that if you have sufficient practical experience, that can be considered valuable as well.

I should add that this is in the UK
I landed an install contract gig with it. Headed into Azure training.

I got after putting it on the back burner for 4 months. Im going to get a Comptia Network specialization certificate from Coursera as well.
Ha that’s funny I just got asked to do this certification for a desktop support technician position
It's a decent cert honestly. I feel it's better than A+ at least :)

The issue is that it’s a “certificate” not a “certification”

get a new mic bro like come on
Would you rank this cert higher than A+ or Course careers for entry level?
I would rank the A+ higher. And CompTIA certs, for better or worse, are more widely recognized.
CompTIA Network+ > All of these Google certs
Lmao that call to action at the end.
Lol thank you for noticing that 😂

but to get experience we need jobs or projects to prove with certifications.
