Pro tip you can get this course 100% free. Just sign up for financial aid so you can audit the courses, then complete all the audits and homework. Then start your trial and you can just hand it all in. BOOM free cert. If you wanna be a hacker you gotta know where the exploits are lol, lets go Mad Hat gang, get that cert.

You get a discount on the CompTIA Sec+ when you complete this -- and a "dual-certification" where you get both of them on your sharable badge thing, once you get the Sec+. I think using the Google Certificate course to study for the Sec+ is a large part of the point of this thing -- at least until it establishes itself some and becomes better known. For now, though, take the Sec+ when you're done with this.

I'm taking this course while studying for Comptia Security +. I'm almost done with my masters in National Cybersecurity Studies, however I wish it went more in depth with cyber security classes. I took classes about SQL, and a CISSP course, but I didn't feel like I learned enough. Google's cyber program is helping me fill in the gaps in my knowledge and skillset.

I’m currently taking this course, to improve your odds. CompTIA teamed up with Google to provide a dual certification with Security Plus. So when you finish the course. You will get 30% off for Security Plus exam and learning materials with CompTIA. But the Google security certification does cover all 8 domains of CISSP.

Currently on Course 5 of this and started 2 weeks ago. Someone coming from customer service, retail management and auto finance background, I am loving this course! At times I got a bit overwhelmed with the info and I questioned if I bit off more than i can chew, but I'm pushing through! Glad I found this channel and thank you for the confirmation that I am on the right path!

I have just completed a certificate, and it is definitely amazing for beginners. It includes some labs with step-by-step tutorials and exams after each chapter. You got a full packet of basic practical knowledge to start your cybersecurity journey.

As good as the content may be, not many employers will take this seriously. I did the Google IT Support Professional certificate. I learned a lot from it, but it is pretty much unknown and has no formal evaluation, ie proctored exams. Also did the A+, which holds much more weight. But I did enjoy them both. You will definitely learn from it, but don't expect to be handed a job with that alone (maybe unless you already have your foot in the door somewhere). I would recommend it for someone who has the time to do it to see if they like it and to get their feet wet. Then when going on to something else you will already have this baseline knowledge.

The Googles certs also perpare you for the comptia Security+ certifcation :) since it wasnt mentioned in this video.

I just completed the IBM cybersecurity analyst cert, and plan to do this Google one before moving on to something like Security+. Thanks for all of your content.

Man you even got the infomercial music playing LOL

[ThePatheticPenTester]

I will be looking into this even though I am in the field. There is a lot of great free or low cost courses you can do. Cisco Academy for All is another good one, Blue Team security is also offering free courses as well. Great content as always MadHat!

I just started this last week 👍. I’m still on course one. I’m new to it all. Like level zero lol but so far so good! I’m excited for this career change

[ParagonRex]

Jumped on this after watching this vid and finished it today after starting it last month and working a full time job. Alot of the things in the course are intituive if you have worked around tech at all. Mostly easy to complete, depending on your coding knowledge. I got a little gummed up on the Python but SQL and Command line interfaces was fun to learn.

[shafialanower]

I did know even know google released a cybersecurity certification. Thanks for the heads up!!

[amirjammal]

As someone who's changing jobs (going from the fitness industry to tech) this video has given me a lot of insight. Thank you so much.

Most trustworthy guy in a mask I've ever subscribed to.

Beats V for Vendetta for sure on practicality.

Super Tip for military members: ITS FREE TO DO SO APPLY. It goes to your commander to sign off and you can choose between skill bridge or self paced (Part time or full time)

a college class in linux wow! we had to do everything manually, no plug and play find a distro, my first was suse ...spend all day on an install ...maybe get it to work ...no, there were no classes, most people never heard of it. it's amazing how far it has come!

[jacobferguson]

I love your videos MadHat. I'm happy to be here and glad to start my certification journey. I just got the A+ Anki deck from Josh Madakor then I'm going to progress to this cert, the network+ and sec+ amd go for the other certs on your tier list. You're an immense help thank you!

[Supple_Leopard]

I just finished the google IT support and I am about to finish this one in the video. I also graduate next month with a bachelor's in cyber security. I hope all of these things will be enough to find a job in my case but we shall see 😅
