Google IT Support Professional Certificate Review | Thoughts from an IT Professional 

It was able to land me an interview and a job. I had no formal IT experience just self taught skills and no degree.

FOR THE PEOPLE READING THIS: STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF. STOP LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OR SECURITY IN OTHERS. LEARN ANY CERTIFICATION TO GET YOIR FOOT IN THE DOOR. CREATE YOUR GOALS AND THE PATH AND YOULL GET THERE WITH HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION.

I always 😅 laugh when people claim "I finished the course in 7 days". It basically tells me they didn't learn anything and went to youtube for all the answers. I agree that it takes 2-3 months to complete if a person is really learning.

It’s so hard to concrete with all the editing and cuts

I just finished in a month and I work 10 hour days at least 5 days a week. I did it purely as an alternative source of information and enrollment to WGU. I'll have over 4 months of nonstop studying CompTIA exams by the time school starts and feel well on my way so far. The knowledge I've accumulated from various LinkedIn Learning and YT sources along the way is encouraging and enjoyable, though I'll know how well it's paid off in August.

I appreciate how you’re your thoughts are clear-cut and to the point, you literally answered all of questions and concerns I had regarding this program 👍🏽

Thanks for the video. Thinking of a career change with zero experience in IT.

I’m currently finishing up my masters in Information technology management, so I really need to finish this course since I have no experience working in IT. I appreciate the video - thank you!

All the jump cuts in this actually make it seem like google cut different things she said together to construct there own review 😂

Hi Nicole. Thank you so much for this review. I am a 27 year old old healthcare admin assistant wanting to switch to IT. I have absolutely zero knowledge and experience in I .T. Do you think going through this certificate will help me feel a little less lost when it comes time to study the A+? Unsure what my long term goal is but I’m currently interested in Cloud/ Cyber Security and Network Admin so I eventually want to do that. Sorry for the long post, like I said I an a newbie and I don’t know anyone in this field to talk to. Thanks again for the informative review!

I'm currently taking the Google IT Support course now and I'm thinking of taking the Google IT Automation with Python course later on to better my chances of getting a job. So, I wanted to know your thoughts and opinions on the Google IT Automation with Python course, and do you have any plans on doing a video on that course?

I totally recommend the certificate. As an A+ cert holder it was definitely a nice refresher. I also recommend auditing the courses, going through all the material, and then sign up.

Great review of the course, Nicole. For those of you w/ zero knowledge of this field, how are you studying? What are you using/doing to retain the knowledge presented in the course?

The jump cuts really aren't that bad guys. I'm sure your editing will get better! Great video.

As of now it is $39 per month. A lot of cuts but thanks for the information.

I applied for the financial aid. Hopefully it'll be worth it for me. Considering I have zero IT experience (I'm a CNA), I think it will be more beneficial for me to have it than to not have it.

I actually don't mind the jump cuts too much - It's really gets to the point and cuts out all that empty space!

I’m almost done with this course and I’m just using it to get accepted to school but I honestly don’t feel ready or that I’ve learned enough to be an it specialist

Thank You for this video, I’m getting ready to start this course.

This helped a ton. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 Ignore the negativity 👍🏽

Came here from Shane Hummus' channel

I used to be certified in CompTIA as an IT Pro years ago ( only A+ ) but that expired in 2012. Since I had the classroom experience at an actual technical school including hands-on training and building and servicing computer hardware and software, I wonder if the Google cert would be ok for me as it is much cheaper than going back to a physical school again? Any thoughts? I let me cert expire and I became a sub-contractor working in new construction but it's killing my body being as I am now almost 51 years old. Even a cushy desk job answering phones would be preferable at this point.

I like your review Nicole however the new versions of Lennox specifically Linux mint are very user-friendly I've used it as a Windows 8 replacement and also used it when Windows 11 come out a home user can you use Linux but you have to put a little bit of time into it and have a brain between your ears I've used Linux since 2017 people generally run away from it because you have to apply yourself and work hard to learn it it is 2024 and I'm still learning stuff that's my two cents

I think its a good course to enhance your knowledge and get someone job ready

I mean realistically speaking, no certification is guaranteed to get you a job; there's a lot more involved than just obtaining a cert like you said.

Holy Jump Cuts batman!

I'm enjoying your content. I've been trying to break into the field for about 4 or 5 months now. Trying to link my networking lnowledge from my military time to the basics for civilian it support is a headache.

I Just graduated not too long ago with a Bachelors in Information Systems, and I now have 2 years of IT experience with a software company doing general windows/network support. You said this is for people new to IT. With that being said, do you think it would be worth it in my case just for further job security? Or would it be pointless since I already have my foot in the door. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your review. I wanted some perspective from someone that knows about IT. One question, you mentioned that is probably not good for a desktop support job, what do you recommend to study for a Desktop Support job? Thank you.

Oh my gosh people have such negative comments. Being rude is different from constructive criticisms. Thank you for the Information.

Just started this course so I can get into the WGU cyber program. Hopefully this course doesn’t take me too long!

Hello Nicole, I'm a sales supervisor looking for a change. My local university offers certification in cybersecurity for $4,500. However, this google certification is a lot cheaper and I was wondering if it's better.

It is not for only people with no experience, it's for people who need to pad the resume. People who worked their way up in a company without certs or degrees. Sadly paper is needed. This is the cheapest way to get a basic cert.

Thank you for the video it was really helpful! All new to this & I feel less stress now after listening to you 🤙🏼

Do I need a computer for the course or a android phone will do it?

Just a quick tip: if you are at college and/or has a .Edu email, you can do the whole certification (not only this one) for free through coursera for students :) loved the video 💜 I’m doing mine while also studying for my finals 😂

Please stop editing too much. Those cuts are way too many.

A+ job search posting results on Indeed were over 50K. The Google IT support Professional Cert warranted 6 jobs....go figure.

Are sections of the course downloadable as I travel abroad a lot?

I’m sorry, there are too many jump cuts.

i took this course in 2020 with no knowledge on IT, I've been struggling to find a job, and I'm a single mom currently jobless. is there any advise to where to apply to with this certification?

I'M SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. I've been watching your videos and decided to go this certificate. BUT A STUPID QUIZ GLITCH prevented me from completing this certification. I emailed support and they said there was nothing that can be done. :(

Thank you I'm about to start the course so this is helpful!

Wow Nicole this video is worth 1M dollars. It helped me to understand a lot of things I did not know.

I did it, I finished it, and I've been applying everywhere. No luck, but I'm not giving up either. In fact, I am ready to take on my next certificate already to be able to increase my hiring options but, I've been told to skip the Comptia A+. What are you thoughts?

As someone whose almost done with the Google IT support course and having friends who've finished it well before me. It's not likely you'd get a job with just this cert. Definitely would though if you got your ccna or comptia certs on top of this one. If you're lucky enough to get in touch with a desperate employer who can't find people to hire you may get lucky and land a job. It's a great course though if you're hopping into IT with little or no tech know how. And it's one extra cert under the belt to add when looking for work. I have yet to see if it alone will land me a job. Probably not. Hasn't landed any of my buddies a job by it's self yet. Planning on getting my A plus though after I get this cert. Which I'd recommend others to do as well. Good bang for your buck though. Especially if you can get in when they offer the course for 40 bucks a month.

The video has a problem when you talk about the price... might want to re edit

I'm going through this on a 4hr youtube video. Is there a test for this or you get a cert after you go through the material?

Thx for info, im going to learn with your recommendation to proffesor preparation for comptia

so i already work at google but hired by as contractor in IT but we mostly do tier 1 support and inventory. Think this IT support cert would help me?

Hi, I am new to this and I don’t know how it works Are the labs in-person or online?

Does the type of computer you use matter(mac or windows)?

Dumb question, but if you have no experience, should I first start with the google cert or try the CompTia ?

I have been working for non it for 2.5 years and am taking IT Google certification course can you suggest me how to crack the interview after this course and where can I upload my resume through online mode. Thank you

I passed this in 3 days was fun but very basic!

why are there so many cuts in the video?

Your presentation is really great but please do avoid cutting the video multiple times in the middle of each and every sentence, that sounds really annoying

I enjoy your review. The only thing is that I can tell how heavily edited your video is, to the point that it is quite distracting.

I’m planning to take the A+ and wondering if the Google cert is good preparation. I already have a CompTIA ITF+ but barely passed it. How much overlap is there between ITF+ and Google cert and between ITF+ and A+?

Am seriously considering taking this certification course but was wondering if there would be any issues with taking the course on a Mac vs. a PC?

Great video, thank you!

Very nice informative video, is AWS cloud praticetioner is a good certificate for someone who doesn't have any cloud knowledge and experience?

I am set to go to Saint Pete College and take the help desk support tech certificate program. Based on what they are going to offer and the interaction I will get, is the course you are talking about the same thing OR is it sub par based on an actual college program?

Can i complete this certificate in 2 months i am not new and not a pro to this subject

From my experience it does not help at all. Ive seen people with bachelors in info systems + comptia trifecta + internships struggle to get jobs in IT. Someone has to be a little nieve to think a certificate will help them at all

I don't have no IT experience is Comptia is a great way to start or cisco networking? Great video btw☺️

Would this be a good entry point for someone looking to get into the security+ certification? Thanks in advance! 😅

Thank you so much.

when you finish all courses under this topic,can we say you are an it support officer with all these certificates?

which IT career is best for those personds who dont have university degre and they also dont like coding?

I have a Bachelors degree in health administration. I’m currently finishing the data analytics course. I’m switching to cybersecurity. Do you think I should take the IT support before taking Comptia a? TIA 😇

Hi Ben, need your opinion, I am a pharmacy graduate, having 11 years of working experience, during this pandemic covid-19 I have lost my job, still searching job. But I am not getting. So I watched your video, what do you think this certification course will help me to get a job in IT as freshers. Please share me!

Great Video, I am new to IT and was thinking about doing the data analytic certificate, in your opinion should I be doing the IT certificate first?

If you have an associates in IT what would be an good idea in a Google cert? Trying to get my first IT job

Very helpful! Thanks!

Wait so are there any other google it courses that you could take ?

mam ...is this certification is still useful to get a entry level job

Great info! I’m in accounting but signed up!

Will they require you to take a test prior getting the certificate?

Im an iT grad but that was years ago...haha..i guess i know the basic but i need this basing on what you said

It among the best course of IT career

thanks saved me alot of trouble

Awesome cool Thxxx!!!

Why is there such a high turnaround rate for support?

The editing is killing me in this video lol

Good info though way too many edits and cuts in the video made it a little jarring to listen to

Thank you.

Nicole does the Google IT Support cert expire?

Thanks for the info. I’m currently in the middle of this program and needed info on what to do next.

What is the deal with the editing on this video?

Can you suggest is COMPTIAA+ is better or this course is better to get a job .

Would you recommend getting knowledge on the A+ and get that out of the way before applying?

Your video editing cut outs is too much and makes it difficult to follow you through

Do i have to finish all 5 courses to get Google IT Support professional certificate?

The video is helpful but your jump cuts on this video are a bit distracting.

Video was awesome... But why this many cuts? I'd be okay with pauses tho.. you're also a human and error happens

This video has more jump cuts than an action movie 😂 thanks tho

Hello dear Nicole, I just finished with this course I do not receive my certificate, I am reading their help not when something. Could you give me their contact because I already finished the course Thank you

Great Video!

Could I get a job? I have a cyber security degree, but I can't find a job
