Unlocking a Path to Cybersecurity: Google’s Cybersecurity Certification now Includes a Discount for CompTIA Security+
For anyone aspiring to enter the cybersecurity field, Google’s Cybersecurity Certification offered on Coursera presents an exciting opportunity. Upon successful completion of the certification program, participants receive a valuable 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam—making this an enticing option for newcomers to the industry.
I recently learned about this program while deep into my studies for the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate). Curiosity got the better of me when I received an email announcing the launch of this certification course. I figured, why not expand my skill set and enjoy the added benefit of a discount for the Security+ exam?
To clarify how this works: once you complete the Google Cybersecurity Certification, you will be awarded a voucher that grants you a significant discount on the Security+ exam fee. This is particularly advantageous considering the high cost associated with certification exams, especially for those of us residing in less affluent regions, such as Southeast Asia. I’ve often had to rely on auditing courses, seeking financial aid, and hoping for promotional discounts to make my certification dreams a reality.
I wanted to share this update as it may prove beneficial to others in similar circumstances, keen on saving money while transitioning into cybersecurity roles.

A Quick Note:
It’s worth mentioning that I initially assumed the Google Cybersecurity certification was covered by the American Dream Academy, but that’s not the case. The academy only offers the IBM Cybersecurity Certification and a few other free courses from various recognized institutions. However, for those in the U.S., this resource still might offer valuable programs. Here’s the link for more information: American Dream Academy.
I hope this information helps you in your journey toward a thriving career in cybersecurity!
