Unlocking Cybersecurity Opportunities: Google’s New Certification and Discount for CompTIA Security+

Are you considering a career in cybersecurity? If so, the recent announcement from Google may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! Google’s Cybersecurity Certification program, offered through Coursera, not only equips you with essential skills but also provides a substantial incentive—a 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam upon completion.

As someone eager to enter the cybersecurity field, I was thrilled when I received an email about the launch of this program while I was concurrently studying for my CCNA. Intrigued by the potential benefits, I decided to enroll in the Google Cybersecurity Certification course, with the added bonus of saving money on the Security+ exam.

Here’s how it works: once you successfully complete the Google Cybersecurity Certification, you receive a discount voucher that reduces the cost of the CompTIA Security+ exam by 30%. This is particularly beneficial for those of us in regions where exam prices can be quite steep, such as in a developing country in Southeast Asia. With that context, I have often relied on auditing courses, seeking financial aid, and waiting for discounts in my pursuit of certifications.

I thought sharing this information could be beneficial for others facing similar challenges while transitioning to a career in cybersecurity.

Important Update:

It’s worth noting that while the Google course does not include additional offerings from the American Dream Academy, which features the IBM Cybersecurity Certification, they do provide several free certification programs from various reputable institutions. This could be advantageous for anyone looking for cost-effective learning alternatives.
