Unlocking Opportunities: Google’s Cybersecurity Certification Now Offers Exam Discounts

As the cybersecurity field continues to grow, opportunities for aspiring professionals are expanding too. One exciting program worth considering is the Google Cybersecurity Certification offered through Coursera, which now includes a fantastic benefit: a 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam upon completing the certification.

For those eager to embark on a cybersecurity career, this certification could be a valuable stepping stone. I stumbled upon this program while I was busy preparing for my CCNA, and I thought, “Why not dive into this as well?” The prospect of earning a discount on the Security+ exam made it all the more appealing.

Here’s how it works: After successfully completing the entire Google Cybersecurity Certification, participants receive a voucher that grants them 30% off the cost of the Security+ exam. This is particularly beneficial for those of us living in regions where exam fees can be exceptionally high — it can feel overwhelming at times.

Given the financial constraints many face, including myself in a developing country in Southeast Asia, I have relied heavily on auditing courses, applying for financial aid, and patiently waiting for discounts. This new offer from Google provides a much-needed financial relief, and I believe it can significantly aid those in similar situations looking to break into the cybersecurity field.

It’s worth noting that while the Google Cybersecurity Certification is a fantastic opportunity, some may have heard about the American Dream Academy, which offers free courses, including the IBM Cybersecurity Certification. However, there’s been some clarification that the Google course isn’t part of their offerings. If you’re based in the U.S. and looking for free certifications, you might want to explore what the American Dream Academy has to offer. Check out their programs here.

I hope this information proves helpful to you as you navigate your journey into the cybersecurity realm. Happy learning!
