Unlock Your Path to Cybersecurity: Google’s New Certification with CompTIA Security+ Discount
Are you eager to dive into the world of cybersecurity? Good news! Google’s Cybersecurity Certification program, available on Coursera, is not only a comprehensive training opportunity but also offers an exciting perk: a 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam upon completion of the program.
This initiative is relatively recent, and it caught my attention while I was busy studying for my CCNA certification. Upon receiving the announcement from Coursera, I decided to explore the Google course as well, particularly motivated by the chance to secure a discount for the Security+ exam.
Here’s how it works: once you complete the entire Google Cybersecurity Certification program, you’ll receive a discount voucher that enables you to save 30% when you register for the Security+ exam. This is particularly beneficial for those of us living in regions where exam costs can be prohibitively high, such as in many parts of Southeast Asia. To manage these expenses, I’ve often relied on auditing courses, applying for financial assistance, and watching for special discounts.
I believe this information could be invaluable for anyone in a similar situation, looking to advance their cybersecurity career while being mindful of their budget.

Important Note
I want to clarify a common misconception: While the Google Cybersecurity Certification offers valuable training, it is distinct from other free certification programs. Recently, I learned that The American Dream Academy primarily provides the IBM Cybersecurity Certification and various other programs, but does not include the Google course. However, they do offer completely free certification options that might be helpful for U.S. residents.
You can check out their offerings here: The American Dream Academy.
I hope this information helps you on your journey into the cybersecurity field! Happy learning!
