Hi Cyber Queen thanks for good content review, I finished Google Cybersecurity course and wondering how you can get 30% discount on Security+ ? Where is let's say discount code or something?
job had got laid off in April but recently achieved Sec+, currently going after Cysa+, i know its hard out here but don't feel discouraged and keep going. God's timing is always precise!
I love your comment and positive vibe! Definitely inspiring. It’s hard I agree but it seems like you have a really good plan and will bounce back in no time! You got this 👏🏽👍🏽
The program is of great value. I'm currently enrolled in the 4th course and find the content quite in-depth. There are two reasons I am taking this certification: #1. Prep for the Security+. #2. Building a portfolio to showcase my skills. All the labs and projects I've completed so far have gone directly to my GitHub. So far...I'm incredibly impressed with what Google has created for entry-level learners.
I love how you’re training and learning skills to apply on your GitHub. I’ve done some labs from a cybersecurity bootcamp I’m currently enrolled in and need to do the same thing!
I agree it’s deffinitely worth it. I am currently enrolled in the program after completing the google data analytics course in about 5 weeks. I am on pace to complete the cyber security program in the same amount of time. I do plan to get the dual certification with Comptia security plus before I start applying. I have no prior IT experience and feel that having both will give me a better shot of landing my first job in Cyber security
Currently on the 4th module. I’m learning a lot of valuable information. So far I’ve learned how to properly generate incident reports and decipher displays from the tcpdump packet analyzer. I’m hooked. Can’t wait to get the next module. As suggested I plan to pair this with Sec+ and a few hands on Eric Capuano projects for more immersive experiences. I want to go into the interview knowing what I’m talking about lol.
I am doing the Google cybersecurity certification. I am on my last two courses out of 8. It is worth it since as a whole course dedicated to Python. I do highly recommend finding a mentor in cybersecurity who can guide you on landing your first job.
Im a network engineer and Im taking the CCNA exam on october. Didn't know what cybersec is better, but now I think both (Google cert and security+) will be very good next to the CCNA on the resume. Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot!
Security+ gets you a DOD position certified worldwide instead of august having a good certificate. Security+ is a requirement for most cyber positions or government.
Hello, Chicka. Your video is the only one that really compares Sec + to the Google CS course, and it now makes obvious that I should not be nervous about taking Sec + and should go with Sec + right after my Google CS course. A wealth of knowledge! Thank you very much! And best wishes with your channel.
Nice! Well done! Thank you Cyber Queen. I’m enrolled in the program of Google Cybersecurity Certification. So far, I loved it. Good info and Thank you for sharing … Subscribed
Many thanks! I'm in the middle of Module 6 (of 8) in the Google Cert. I find the quick pace of the course makes it very easy to follow (even for those without much technical knowledge). I signed up on Jun 16th, so if I can finish it by July 23rd (which I should), I will have only paid for one month of Coursera. Right after I finish it, I will pay for a test CompTIA Sec+ exam and go from there.
@@cyber.queen_ Many thanks! I completed the Google course yesterday aft, and I have a test Sec+ exam scheduled tomorrow after work. So, in all, it took me exactly one month to complete (part time). Note that I have been a web app developer for 20+ years, and I have been exposed to many of these concepts before (some in depth). I do believe that anyone, regardless of background, can take this course, and gain knowledge and confidence to moving into the cybersecurity field. In the end of course survey, a few questions were related to whether we switched jobs into cybersecurity while going thru the course. I thought that was very interesting. I wonder if anyone updated LinkedIn after every module, and was hired while doing the course. 🤷♂
I'm on course 5 on Google cybersecurity certificate and for someone with little knowledge of IT and 0 knowledge at the time on cybersecurity I can say it's great. My favorite course is the 4to one cuz it gave me the opportunity to work on linux and sql solving real problems
I finished the course in about a week, but I have my Sec+ already. The part I had the most fun but trouble was the SQL and Python part as I do not have much background in this information. However since completing the course, I have been learning python from the ground up!
I registered and started the course a couple of days ago, I find it to be of great value, I have tried to study for the Security+ exam and found the material very dry even for someone like me who has 20+ years of IT experience as a Field Service Engineer, I am looking forward to successfully complete the course and also continue learning additional skills to land a new job, thanks for the great video.
I would go for both. It doesn't hurt. In fact, I completed the Google Cybersecurity first last year and passed my Sec+ just two weeks ago. I believe the Google Cybersecurity helped me clear Sec+ on the first attempt. Oh, I also took the free ICS2 course for the CC prior to attempting the Sec+. However, I decided to go for the CC only after my Sec+. So, exactly 5 days after passing my Sec+, I also passed the CC.
Currently on the 5th module and I’m loving it so far. Specially since I’m just getting into the space of cybersecurity google makes it really fun and easy to understand because most people online make it seem hard with all the boot camps that are offered elsewhere. Love your video ❤❤
Hi dear Cyber Queen, I purchased the security + voucher few weeks ago and with this new training from Google I was wondering if it is not just redundant! You convinced me to do both thank to this presentation. Indeed, the hands-on Iabs sounds really great. I have to be patient and persevering before more advanced cyber security certifications…
Indeed, one of the primary purposes of the Google certification is that it helps prepare you for the Sec+. You even get a discount on the Sec+ test. They aren't in competition. But _X vs Y_ video titles get clicks. :-)
Almost through with the Google cyber security on coursera. I would say it’s worth it and very hands on. Honestly i might not do the CompTIA security +. The only reason I might change my mind is if I want to go into go tech
I have completed the first 4 modules. I think that the labs and practical work are great. The course overall is a great way to determine if the field is right for you and to give a good baseline. I do not think that this field is for everyone. I also think that a 7 day trial is not long enough for someone to take enough of the course to make that determination unless they sign up for all 8 modules and sample each within those 7 days. Pro Tip- If you live in New York State, USA the department of labor offers Coursera PLUS for free !!! I have been taking this course for FREE #no rush !
Honestly considering the courses quality. No one should Rush the 7 days just to get the certificate. Not 1 person will learn anything other than cheating their way through it. I’ve had to take some serious notes in course 2 as a few things were quite deep with info. I’ve been putting a solid 5 - 8 hours a day and averaging 1 entire course (4 weeks worth) every 3 - 4 days. The portfolios are time consuming if you actually do them. People should do this course with intentions of learning instead of trying to save a measly $60 by trying to get this free. It also degrades the certificate which is why I don’t know why coursera doesn’t force at least paying 1 month minimum in order to get a professional type cert.
Got my sec+ almost 2 months ago but no one bats an eye as far as recruiters/jobs applied to.. not like when i got my ccna and actually started doing sysadmin/ network stuff.. security is too saturated
The google cybersecurity is pretty good. I been taking it and found some useful information. I currently on course 2 and look at all the courses. Looks like a solid course for someone who's thinking about cybersecurity.
Already pre-enrolled✌🏽 I guess this is a response to Google's Professional Certificate😅 Microsoft noticed that if people get involved with Google via this Series of Courses, they will also lean towards the Google Cloud Platform and then Bard, and so on haha. I'm loving all this. I'll take Microsoft's Courses as well, but I must say I'm loving Google's courses as well. 4/8 Courses completed🙌🏽 Let's see what Microsoft brings to the table.
@@AlexisChateau, yes, I saw it. I somehow have the same opinion. - Microsoft tried to break things down, like, dividing it in more submodules. I can't yet tell how well their teaching | methodology is. Let's see next month, when they launch the first course. - IBM has remarkable professionals and also has a fair course structure, but their way of bringing the content is poorer. The old, dry way. - Google nailed their way of presenting stuff. Vocabulary, Glossary Pages, Readings that are reeeaaally worth it the time, always explains the goals for the Module and where you're currently at, and also tried to expose a bit of everything - the dry part, SQL, Linux, Python, and so on. Not too deep, but at least you have an idea about them. Google's approach is cutting-edge. You even get those Templates and stuff. - Cisco also recently launched a SOC Specialisation. It's not like the others, since it's a more specific field of Cybersecurity, but say you finish one of the others and don't feel like doing IAM, Architectural stuff, etc..., then Security Operations could be a nice thing to look at.
I loved your video. I your voice speed is great. I can understand you very well. Your video really encouraged me to continue for getting my certification. Thank you for the really nice content about it.
I think that would be a great option as well. But thereafter I would move away from beginner certifications to a more intermediate certification and skill level 🌸🌸
Problem with all the Google certificates is they are all unprotected quizzes, labs, and activities that you can find the answers online. I don’t think hiring managers take them seriously for this reason. They do have a lot of great information I’m doing the IT support and it actually has a lot more in depth information than the A+.
Am enjoying the Google cybersecurity certification training, I will get other certification and training on cybersecurity tools and handon practicals, rather than doing CompTia+
Have you watched this video? Maybe it could help with the next step? CompTIA Security + Certified? Here's your next step🤯 th-cam.com/video/1C5oWXUEgQo/w-d-xo.html
I’m uncertain about taking either the google cybersecurity certificate or the Microsoft cybersecurity certificate. Would like to prep for the sec+, I’ve watched videos and read that the google one helps you build more practical labs, and the MS one is more geared towards MS environments. At this point anything that would help with the Sec+.
It's great that you're considering both options but practical labs can be a game-changer for learning cybersecurity skills. I definitely recommend The Google Cybersecurity Certificate😉 as a prep for the Security +
Don’t touch google security certs unless you want some insight of cyber or have no degree or experience in infosec. However, The security + is more valuable, see dod 8570 certification list 🎉
Just started the Google course! Already like it better than CompTIA’s. I’m not bored like I kinda was feeling w CompTIA. What can people expect to get as a starting salary with a few of these certs under their belt in cybersecurity or maybe on the IT side?
It’s definitely more exciting than just the theory in security+. From a salary perspective, it depends on various factors like location, type of company, size of the company etc in the US it’s probably around 65k as a basic start. I have seen way more and sometimes less offered to beginners.
I just started the course 3 weeks ago. I’m loving it and it’s been a great experience so far. I came in having no experience whatsoever in cyber security and I feel like I will be in a much better space once I complete it.
Hey Venicia, i have experience in Azure but trying to get a foothold on GCP.. just wondering is the google cybersec certification a good course for someone who already has an experience? Thanks!
This video was super helpful and clarifying! I'm currently studying for my SEC+ and just now came across this video, I am heavily considering collaborating coursera into the mix with my studying now. If so, does Coursera still provide a discount to the Sec+ after completion?
Question, I plan on taking the it support specialist and cybersecurity course from Google, and then after those, study for security plus, is this a good plan for someone with no experience in IT? My main goal is to be a Pentester and I know I have long time before that and I'm ok with being apart of the blue team first. Just wanna know the right path before I pull the trigger on Google because I don't see the certs listed on job descriptions yet
Hey, this is a good plan, but I think if you want to be a pentester, you should also start with practicing some hacking skills on platforms like TryHackMe.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get what you mean, Google certification might seem pretty basic for those who are already into internet compu stuff. But hey, it's still a great way to enhance your skills.
Did you have any knowledge of cybersecurity before this, and if not, did the cybersecurity course help you pass the security + without any further resources?
I'm torn on whether or not I should get the CompTIA Security+ Cert because I finished the Google course on Monday and have been researching if I need the comptia cert despite the 30% off they give you. Should I just get the security+ as well so it looks better on a resume?
Comptia Security+ holds a lot more weight than the Google Cybersecurity course and it is a much harder exam than Google. Don't get me wrong, Google course is awesome, but Security+ is more accepted as the test is given in an exam atmosphere.
@@franknoneofya9585 if you were a hiring manager would u hire someone who study to explain a topic theoretically or someone who can applied it? Security + is hard bcuz u have to cramp all that amount of theory to pass a exam and come out and still don't know how to use Snort, wire-shark or TCPdump to analyze a network packet.. don't fall for the hype. some of the best hackers or SOC analyst don't have security + but they can get stuff done.
@triumphant_54 I'm going to put it one way and then go into an explanation. For you to get a government job, you're going to need the security+ at minimum. This is mostly because the government can teach you skills, they can't read the theory behind things for you. So they would rather you have the theory down and teach you the skills. BTW those are amongst the highest paying jobs out there. Now as far as skills, you should be working on your own to attain those skills and it doesn't take much time to learn them, they also help you understand and put to use your security+ learning. So skill supplements knowledge, knowledge doesn't supplement skill, so ask yourself which is more important now.
Hi CyberQueen. Do you think there are possible opportunities for some of us based in Africa to secure remote Cybersecurity jobs from US companies? I noticed most of the remote jobs listings requires applicants to be based in certain cities in the United States. I am currently undergoing the google cyber security course and by God's grace would immediately go for the CompTIA Sec+, but I am unsure about getting remote jobs from companies in the US or Europe. What are your thoughts. Thanks.
I think this is possible if the company has an operating license in South Africa or can pay you through PayPal or an international account. The limitations with remote work is different employment requirements, regulations and laws. I think it is very possible, if the company has an operating or employment arrangement/ agreement
I have a question. I just bought the Sec + book and planning on studying that and taking the test. It’s more cost efficient for me. Is this way a good idea. Self study and take the test?
Can you do the network+ without having to do the comptia a+ exams? Most courses I've seen seem set on you doing the comptia+ first which for a role in cyber security I don't seem necessary
@@cyber.queen_ thank you so much! Most companies just insist on doing the A+ first before doing anything such as network or security+. I'm hoping to pursue a career in the cyber security field and find the coursera courses much better for explaining things. If there's anything you could recommend in order to boost my profile or CV that would be fantastic! Thank you for your reply and love your channel!
Do you need a laptop/computer to take the courses? or can you complete the courses on a tablet? im courses if i need to add a new computer to my budget for the course? i know its a silly question, but i will still appricate the help
The question is DO employers care about the Google Security Certification? They sure didn't value the Google IT Customer Support Certification. Watch people say they achieved a Google Cert on LinkedIn - crickets. Even if you get a Google cert you still need the equivalent CompTIA cert and Google is not teaching you for the test...so it's not an either or. The Google Cert is just a learning tool not a cert.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! It's always helpful to hear different perspectives on certifications and how they are valued in the job market. This kind of discussion helps us all make more informed decisions about our career paths.
You forgot to mention the quizzes. Also, like their IT Support Professional certificate paired with passing the Network+, I wonder with this 1 if you will get a dual certification distinction paired with Security+. Mind you, this is different from just only obtaining both separately. My guess is yes. I approve of your review.✔
@@jayvet8402Hi, you do not automatically get any of the CompTIA certificates. You get prepared and a discount but you still have to certify on your own.
I am a Data Center Support Engineer and i got my Msc in Cybersecirity afterwards. I have my SC-900 but want a real industry experience, What do you advise?
I would find out if there are shadow opportunities in the organization where you work as a start. to get more knowledge and hands on, practise on ACloudGuru, and go for the AZ-500, thereafter you should be in a good position to apply for jobs.
I just finished the cert & I believe this course is amazing! I’ve learned so much! Do you think completing this course is enough to pass the security + exam?
I greatly appreciate quality affordable education but let's be real.. ain't no one landing a 100k salary with 1 cert 😂you'd be lucky to get half of that
i feel like they can cut most of the fluff content and the prompted responses to make it feel like its more valuable. Writing a paragraph on why you are entering the field is useless and a waste of time. Most people work because we need money to do things in our life that are worth doing. studying hard taking the cert will always be more worth it in my opinion. its harder but i feel you retain more usefull information.
I think it depends on your skills and network, and also how you construct your resume and how you are applying for jobs, if you get the steps correct, you may very well be able to get an entry level job.
With that you don't even have to start, don't be fooled by this smoke vendor, you need certifications like these: OSCP,CEH,CCNP, CRISC,CISA,CISM and and apart from knowing about programming, scripts, pentesting, etc. its to dificult enter in this world and be good at it
@@jesusmolina5951 in your opinion, what is the best provider of the mentioned certifications? And what is your opinion about TCM Security and CompTIA Security+?
@@jeroenstienstra1409 I am from Europe, perhaps the certifications have different values depending on the region, for example, compTIA security is not valued in my country in Spain when hiring, in the USA it may be valid for jobs that require basic security knowledge, but It is not even remotely useful to have a position of those that the one in the video mentions; Each one of the specializations is based on a defined role, it is not as general as security +, none is better than another, they are all well paid and in demand, I do not know about TCM security.
Hey queen, i have no funds to get a degree or course, what can i do to study proper material, and have a company take my qualifications seriously, so that i can get a good job from this 🇿🇦
@@cyber.queen_ yeah of course, I’m not stopping anyone from making up their own mind. I just wanted to point that out. It would be nice to see proof that you completed course so then your opinions are more believable. That’s just my thought. Regardless I’m taking the course and to be honest it’s great! I have the certification to prove it.
Thanks for your views. Unfortunately I’m not in the business of proving anything to anyone I’ve done that for way too long 🤷🏽♀️ you can either enjoy my content take the views and make up your own mind or check out other videos where someone proves things to your satisfaction. First off I did this program specifically to review it for this community, I didn’t need it at all. Secondly for everything I do you can checkout my LinkedIn profile for your level of proof✌🏽
You can checkout the Google cybersecurity certification here: imp.i384100.net/cqgoogle
What questions do you have about the certification?
Do I need to have python knowledge before taking the course?
So have you acquired a job once you completed your certification?
what are the total hours and can they be completed in 1month also after that we need to have comptia+ too or CEh v12 can suffice for a job?
Hi Cyber Queen thanks for good content review, I finished Google Cybersecurity course and wondering how you can get 30% discount on Security+ ? Where is let's say discount code or something?

Microsoft's new "Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate" is available in coursera from August 1
Already pre-enrolled✌🏽
I guess this is a response to Google's Professional Certificate😅
Microsoft noticed that if people get involved with Google via this Series of Courses, they will also lean towards the Google Cloud Platform and then Bard, and so on haha.
I'm loving all this.
I'll take Microsoft's Courses as well, but I must say I'm loving Google's courses as well.
4/8 Courses completed🙌🏽
Let's see what Microsoft brings to the table.
Yes! This one will definitely be exiting to see… maybe I will pre-enroll for a review 😅
IBM has one too, but the Google one appealed to me way more. 😅
@@AlexisChateau, yes, I saw it.
I somehow have the same opinion.
- Microsoft tried to break things down, like, dividing it in more submodules. I can't yet tell how well their teaching | methodology is. Let's see next month, when they launch the first course.
- IBM has remarkable professionals and also has a fair course structure, but their way of bringing the content is poorer. The old, dry way.
- Google nailed their way of presenting stuff. Vocabulary, Glossary Pages, Readings that are reeeaaally worth it the time, always explains the goals for the Module and where you're currently at, and also tried to expose a bit of everything - the dry part, SQL, Linux, Python, and so on. Not too deep, but at least you have an idea about them.
Google's approach is cutting-edge. You even get those Templates and stuff.
- Cisco also recently launched a SOC Specialisation. It's not like the others, since it's a more specific field of Cybersecurity, but say you finish one of the others and don't feel like doing IAM, Architectural stuff, etc..., then Security Operations could be a nice thing to look at.
very nicely explained all aspects. keep up your good work, looking forward to learn more from you
Thank you for your kind feedback.🌸
I know you 😃! Very helpful thank you!🙌🏽 all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦.
I'm glad its helpful 😃🇿🇦
Good information, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved your video. I your voice speed is great. I can understand you very well. Your video really encouraged me to continue for getting my certification. Thank you for the really nice content about it.
Thank you for your kind feedback 🌸
Thank you for this video! It is very helpful as I started last month Coursera Cyber security course.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes 😊
What do you think about doing this Google one and following up with the ISC2 certification?
I think that would be a great option as well. But thereafter I would move away from beginner certifications to a more intermediate certification and skill level 🌸🌸
Problem with all the Google certificates is they are all unprotected quizzes, labs, and activities that you can find the answers online. I don’t think hiring managers take them seriously for this reason. They do have a lot of great information I’m doing the IT support and it actually has a lot more in depth information than the A+.
Thanks for sharing! Actually really good perspective
Am enjoying the Google cybersecurity certification training, I will get other certification and training on cybersecurity tools and handon practicals, rather than doing CompTia+
Great to hear! 👍🏽👍🏽
You are a great resource and thank you very much much !!!!!!
I appreciate that!
thank you for this in-depth review..amazing!
I’m glad you found it valuable 😊
I have both sec+ and google cybersecurity certificate. Yet to find a job
Have you watched this video? Maybe it could help with the next step? CompTIA Security + Certified? Here's your next step🤯
th-cam.com/video/1C5oWXUEgQo/w-d-xo.html
I’m uncertain about taking either the google cybersecurity certificate or the Microsoft cybersecurity certificate. Would like to prep for the sec+, I’ve watched videos and read that the google one helps you build more practical labs, and the MS one is more geared towards MS environments. At this point anything that would help with the Sec+.
It's great that you're considering both options but practical labs can be a game-changer for learning cybersecurity skills. I definitely recommend The Google Cybersecurity Certificate😉 as a prep for the Security +
Don’t touch google security certs unless you want some insight of cyber or have no degree or experience in infosec. However, The security + is more valuable, see dod 8570 certification list 🎉
That is only valid if you are in the US. Rest of the World... carry on.
I wish it had more hands on training, just completed it
Awesome! What is the next step for you?
Really helpful, thanks!
I'm so glad you found it helpful 🌺
Just started the Google course! Already like it better than CompTIA’s. I’m not bored like I kinda was feeling w CompTIA. What can people expect to get as a starting salary with a few of these certs under their belt in cybersecurity or maybe on the IT side?
It’s definitely more exciting than just the theory in security+. From a salary perspective, it depends on various factors like location, type of company, size of the company etc in the US it’s probably around 65k as a basic start. I have seen way more and sometimes less offered to beginners.
I just started the course 3 weeks ago. I’m loving it and it’s been a great experience so far. I came in having no experience whatsoever in cyber security and I feel like I will be in a much better space once I complete it.
Great video great information but in simple and kind words ❤
Glad you liked it!
@@cyber.queen_ ❤️
Hey Venicia, i have experience in Azure but trying to get a foothold on GCP.. just wondering is the google cybersec certification a good course for someone who already has an experience? Thanks!
Hey 🌸I would say it’s more for beginners and will not necessarily help you to get into the Google space since it teaches the basics of cybersecurity.
@@cyber.queen_ thanks for your response!!!
This video was super helpful and clarifying! I'm currently studying for my SEC+ and just now came across this video, I am heavily considering collaborating coursera into the mix with my studying now. If so, does Coursera still provide a discount to the Sec+ after completion?
Thank you Queen ❤
👍🏽👍🏽
I getting both google and CompTIA
That's great! Both Google and CompTIA certifications can open up a lot of opportunities for you in the tech industry. Good luck on your journey!
@@cyber.queen_ Thank you so much you are amazing you just earn my subscribe
Thank you :-)
Question, I plan on taking the it support specialist and cybersecurity course from Google, and then after those, study for security plus, is this a good plan for someone with no experience in IT? My main goal is to be a Pentester and I know I have long time before that and I'm ok with being apart of the blue team first. Just wanna know the right path before I pull the trigger on Google because I don't see the certs listed on job descriptions yet
Hey, this is a good plan, but I think if you want to be a pentester, you should also start with practicing some hacking skills on platforms like TryHackMe.
Please I how can I get the discount on the comptia sec + after google certification .
Hey, you have to check on the Coursera website for this or email them directly.
Google cert is pretty basic is you are internet compu related, but the money get paid by the estructure that teach
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get what you mean, Google certification might seem pretty basic for those who are already into internet compu stuff. But hey, it's still a great way to enhance your skills.
@@cyber.queen_ Cisco certf are also free
It was worth it, I have both and the dual credential
Awesome 👏🏽 congrats 🥳
Did you have any knowledge of cybersecurity before this, and if not, did the cybersecurity course help you pass the security + without any further resources?
@@hanko498 the textbook and practice questions are really helpful
@@hanko498 I bought the book from Barnes and nobles
@@Milky44 what text book are you referring to?
I'm torn on whether or not I should get the CompTIA Security+ Cert because I finished the Google course on Monday and have been researching if I need the comptia cert despite the 30% off they give you. Should I just get the security+ as well so it looks better on a resume?
Yes, the Google certification provides better entry level knowledge. But having both would be great on the resume 👍🏽
Do Blue Team Level 1 and keep refreshing yourself with the notes n practical from the google cert... Just my take..Blue Team is all pratical...
Comptia Security+ holds a lot more weight than the Google Cybersecurity course and it is a much harder exam than Google. Don't get me wrong, Google course is awesome, but Security+ is more accepted as the test is given in an exam atmosphere.
@@franknoneofya9585 if you were a hiring manager would u hire someone who study to explain a topic theoretically or someone who can applied it? Security + is hard bcuz u have to cramp all that amount of theory to pass a exam and come out and still don't know how to use Snort, wire-shark or TCPdump to analyze a network packet.. don't fall for the hype. some of the best hackers or SOC analyst don't have security + but they can get stuff done.
@triumphant_54 I'm going to put it one way and then go into an explanation. For you to get a government job, you're going to need the security+ at minimum. This is mostly because the government can teach you skills, they can't read the theory behind things for you. So they would rather you have the theory down and teach you the skills. BTW those are amongst the highest paying jobs out there. Now as far as skills, you should be working on your own to attain those skills and it doesn't take much time to learn them, they also help you understand and put to use your security+ learning. So skill supplements knowledge, knowledge doesn't supplement skill, so ask yourself which is more important now.
Would you sugget going right for the Comptia Security + after finishing google cybersecurity course?
Yes, absolutely.
@@cyber.queen_ one more question should I do Comptia A first before security +
@@marcusmcdow3you don't need to
Hi CyberQueen.
Do you think there are possible opportunities for some of us based in Africa to secure remote Cybersecurity jobs from US companies?
I noticed most of the remote jobs listings requires applicants to be based in certain cities in the United States.
I am currently undergoing the google cyber security course and by God's grace would immediately go for the CompTIA Sec+, but I am unsure about getting remote jobs from companies in the US or Europe.
What are your thoughts. Thanks.
I think this is possible if the company has an operating license in South Africa or can pay you through PayPal or an international account. The limitations with remote work is different employment requirements, regulations and laws. I think it is very possible, if the company has an operating or employment arrangement/ agreement
Ok thanks for the reply
@@abuabdillahAbdulhakeem I hope to hear all goes well for you
What i don't like about the Google cert is that they don't cover the Microsoft OS. Microsoft's OS is used on most computer's around the world
I have a question. I just bought the Sec + book and planning on studying that and taking the test. It’s more cost efficient for me. Is this way a good idea. Self study and take the test?
Yes, self study is a great option. Go for it.
How can I get my discount after completing the google cybersecurity professional certification
Hey, you have to check on the Coursera website for this or email them directly.
I’m currently a software engineer and want to move to cyber, can you please advice on how i can transition? Is it easy?
It’s easy but needs to dedicate time to learn new things
Hey 👋🏽 look into roles like security engineering or cloud computing, devsecops would be a great space to transition to.
Please provide the link for CompTIA Security+ certification
Hi, It is linked in the description.
Can you do the network+ without having to do the comptia a+ exams? Most courses I've seen seem set on you doing the comptia+ first which for a role in cyber security I don't seem necessary
I think you can do Network+ or even Security+ completely independently from A+. You don’t really require A+ first.
@@cyber.queen_ thank you so much! Most companies just insist on doing the A+ first before doing anything such as network or security+. I'm hoping to pursue a career in the cyber security field and find the coursera courses much better for explaining things. If there's anything you could recommend in order to boost my profile or CV that would be fantastic! Thank you for your reply and love your channel!
I love how we can try it free for 7 days! Like don’t make me pay $500 before I know what I’m getting into.
Completely agree
Google cybersecurity vs the new Cisco CCST cybersecurity. Which one do you think is more valuable? I'm really trying to debate between the two.
Hey, I have not taken the Cisco CCST certification, perhaps I will do review sometime in the future.
Guys you are forgetting about the IBM cybersecurity specialization! IBM did a great job building this course. Any thoughts on IBM course?
I this the IBM course is great! I have a video coming soon on this one.
Love your videos
Thank you 😊
Do you need a laptop/computer to take the courses? or can you complete the courses on a tablet? im courses if i need to add a new computer to my budget for the course? i know its a silly question, but i will still appricate the help
Yes you need a computer, I tried to do a portion on my tablet and it wouldn't show.
@@tonyaj5143 thank you. This was very helpful
I would definitely say the experience is good on PC, some of the video content was fine on the iPad but not the labs.
The question is DO employers care about the Google Security Certification? They sure didn't value the Google IT Customer Support Certification. Watch people say they achieved a Google Cert on LinkedIn - crickets. Even if you get a Google cert you still need the equivalent CompTIA cert and Google is not teaching you for the test...so it's not an either or. The Google Cert is just a learning tool not a cert.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! It's always helpful to hear different perspectives on certifications and how they are valued in the job market. This kind of discussion helps us all make more informed decisions about our career paths.
Do I need to know previous experience to take google cyber security courses.? Thx.
Hey 👋🏽 No previous experience needed
Is this doable as an entry level person with no prior experience?
It's very beginner friendly.
Yes it is.
So with finishing the course, do I get the certificate or do I have to complete and pay for an exam as well after completion of the course.
You will get a completed certification. Only extra if you want to take the Security+ as well.
How do i get hold of the promised 30% discount to prepare for CompTIA securit+ as i have completed the program?
Maybe reach out to Coursera or check in your course benefits?
@Cyber.Queen_ I was wondering do you have a degree or do you have certifications?
Hey 👋🏾 I have both
You forgot to mention the quizzes.
Also, like their IT Support Professional certificate paired with passing the Network+, I wonder with this 1 if you will get a dual certification distinction paired with Security+. Mind you, this is different from just only obtaining both separately. My guess is yes.
I approve of your review.✔
Wait. You get the comptia network+ along with passing the google IT support course? Not sure if i'm reading correctly.
You are correct, thanks for the reminder and kind feedback :-)
You get network plus if you pass th IT Professional or does it prepare you?
@cyber.queen_ can you answer my and John?
@@jayvet8402Hi, you do not automatically get any of the CompTIA certificates. You get prepared and a discount but you still have to certify on your own.
Going through the Google Cert Course is enough to pass sec+?
Hey 👋🏽 I think it is sufficient
I completed google.. and I’m now doing CompTia… you won’t regret taking google 1st! As it made understanding this stuff alot easier to digest!
I am a Data Center Support Engineer and i got my Msc in Cybersecirity afterwards. I have my SC-900 but want a real industry experience, What do you advise?
I would find out if there are shadow opportunities in the organization where you work as a start. to get more knowledge and hands on, practise on ACloudGuru, and go for the AZ-500, thereafter you should be in a good position to apply for jobs.
I just finished the cert & I believe this course is amazing! I’ve learned so much! Do you think completing this course is enough to pass the security + exam?
Hey! Well done on completing! And yes I think it’s sufficient
How does Google Cybersecurity certification stack up against ISC2 Cybersecurity Course?
both very basic. wont get you a job at all. go for sec+
Both are beginner level, but the google certification will help more on the skills side.
I greatly appreciate quality affordable education but let's be real.. ain't no one landing a 100k salary with 1 cert 😂you'd be lucky to get half of that
Agree! but its a great starting point.
That’s a no brainer.. these certs are obviously to give people who are interested in cybersecurity a starting point
Depends. The full Google program is 8 certs.
i feel like they can cut most of the fluff content and the prompted responses to make it feel like its more valuable. Writing a paragraph on why you are entering the field is useless and a waste of time. Most people work because we need money to do things in our life that are worth doing. studying hard taking the cert will always be more worth it in my opinion. its harder but i feel you retain more usefull information.
Personal preference I guess, but for some, all those steps are really helpful.
i am its 7th course and it is totally worth it. please tell me if someone complete this course and actually get a entry level job or internship.......
I think it depends on your skills and network, and also how you construct your resume and how you are applying for jobs, if you get the steps correct, you may very well be able to get an entry level job.
security plus still takes the cake.
Sure, but this program is definitely worth it.
Do the CISSP ...
I did. Maybe check the other videos available 🙃
Is this certification for biginners?
Yes it is
After completion of this course, does google provide badges ?
Yes, Google does provide badges upon completion of certain courses.
Hello , so what jobs can you get into with the certification?
Hey there are many, security analyst, soc analyst, threat hunter, vulnerability analyst, security engineer, etc.
With that you don't even have to start, don't be fooled by this smoke vendor, you need certifications like these: OSCP,CEH,CCNP, CRISC,CISA,CISM and and apart from knowing about programming, scripts, pentesting, etc. its to dificult enter in this world and be good at it
@@jesusmolina5951 in your opinion, what is the best provider of the mentioned certifications? And what is your opinion about TCM Security and CompTIA Security+?
@@jeroenstienstra1409 I am from Europe, perhaps the certifications have different values depending on the region, for example, compTIA security is not valued in my country in Spain when hiring, in the USA it may be valid for jobs that require basic security knowledge, but It is not even remotely useful to have a position of those that the one in the video mentions; Each one of the specializations is based on a defined role, it is not as general as security +, none is better than another, they are all well paid and in demand, I do not know about TCM security.
Hey queen, i have no funds to get a degree or course, what can i do to study proper material, and have a company take my qualifications seriously, so that i can get a good job from this 🇿🇦
Hey, I share alot of free resources here and on Instagram to get you started.
How much is the test? and does the cert expire?
Which cert are you referring to? The Security + or The Google Cybersecurity Certification
@@cyber.queen_both but in particular is the google a one time or you have to retake periodically?
Please note. She never confirms that she actually completed the course. So take her opinion with a grain of salt.
So you’re new here 😊 maybe let others make up their own minds 🤙🏽 and if it doesn’t benefit you move right along ✌🏽
@@cyber.queen_ yeah of course, I’m not stopping anyone from making up their own mind. I just wanted to point that out. It would be nice to see proof that you completed course so then your opinions are more believable. That’s just my thought. Regardless I’m taking the course and to be honest it’s great! I have the certification to prove it.
Thanks for your views. Unfortunately I’m not in the business of proving anything to anyone I’ve done that for way too long 🤷🏽♀️ you can either enjoy my content take the views and make up your own mind or check out other videos where someone proves things to your satisfaction. First off I did this program specifically to review it for this community, I didn’t need it at all. Secondly for everything I do you can checkout my LinkedIn profile for your level of proof✌🏽
You are smart Indian cyber person.
Thanks.
What a queen 🔥🔥
You are so kind, thank you 😊
Why isn't nobody giving testout a chance
I haven’t used it personally, perhaps I will try Testout and make a review about it soon.
