Unlocking Cybersecurity Opportunities: Google’s New Certification Program

For those looking to make a mark in the field of cybersecurity, an exciting opportunity has just emerged. Google has launched a new Cybersecurity Certification through Coursera, and an appealing perk comes with it: a 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam upon completion of the course. This is particularly advantageous for those eager to enter the industry!

As a cybersecurity enthusiast, I came across this program while juggling my studies for the CCNA. When I received an email announcing the launch of the Google Cybersecurity Certification, I thought, “Why not take advantage of this while also earning a valuable discount for the Security+ exam?”

Upon completing the Google Cybersecurity Certification, participants receive a voucher—which provides a 30% discount when they choose to sit for the Security+ exam later on. This discount can significantly lighten the financial burden, especially for those of us living in regions where exam fees are exorbitant, such as in some developing countries in Southeast Asia.

In my quest to transition into cybersecurity, I have often relied on auditing courses and applying for financial aid while keeping an eye out for discounts. This update could potentially be a game-changer for individuals in similar circumstances, making the journey into cybersecurity a bit more affordable.

For those in the United States seeking even more options, it’s worth noting that The American Dream Academy offers the IBM Cybersecurity Certification along with a few other free certification programs from esteemed institutions. While it doesn’t include the Google course, it could still be valuable to anyone looking for additional credentials without financial constraints.

I hope these resources prove helpful on your cybersecurity journey!
