Hey all- I am finishing up IBM's Cybersecurity Analyst certificate on Coursera. Before that, I took Google's IT Support course- and I was able to get an excellent, well paying job after taking that course. The key to these courses is to take several and get understanding of how things flow together. For this course, I would also take python/SQL scripting (trust me, even in a tier 1 position you will need it) and also take Splunk's own course on their products, as well as IBM. It would be to your advantage to simply buy the Coursera plus package and buckle down for the summer.

I’ve been doing the Google Cybersecurity certification for 3 weeks and only half way done. I think it’s great if you have a hard time self studying. It’s broken into small chunks of videos, reading, and labs to maintain your focus. So you can see your progress and get a sense of accomplishment. I plan on completing the IBM cybersecurity then the Palo Alto Network Security. Afterward Hack The Box Academy to develop my technical skills. I will eventually take and study for Sec+ but waiting for my job to cover for my exam. My goal is to get into Vulnerability Management or Threat hunting or Digital Forensic.

I feel like the Cybersecurity shouldn't be taken by itself and should be taken with the IT Support and the IT Automation...as a matter of fact they kind of flow into each other...It Support's last class is a security course which would lead into the Cybersecurity course, and the Cybersecurity course's second to last course is Automation which leads into the IT Automation course. Keep up the great work. :)

I completed the IT support course from Google on Coursera just before this Cybersecurity course was released. I'm 3 courses in to this certificate and I find that its been mostly review of stuff that was covered in the IT support series. That's honestly been very helpful. I got the IT support course for free and earned the certificate, but I was only given a 25% discount on the Cybersecurity course. I am not convinced its worth paying nearly $300 for this certificate. I plan to simply continue to audit the whole course and then study for the Comptia Sec+ cert.

this is the first time i subbed for watching 1 random video in my feed. had me interested in what you might upload next.

I really like your honesty. You're a good man.

Suppose I have completed my all 8 course with full dedication..now am i been able yo get intership of cyber security analyst ? if no .. then what are the path after completing Google's course Sir please answer 🙏

That's a very honest assessment. Thanks

Thanks for the video . I’m in my 2nd week and I’m new to cybersecurity. I do believe it’s a great foundation and I know I’ll have to continue learning after the course . Any recommendations?

Thanks for the detailed course review and the resume templates. You've been always helpful. Please include your Udemy referral link in your description as well :) More power to your channel.

I feel like I’ve gotten rejected more since I’ve completed the program lol

I'm not sure. If this certificate was any good, wouldn't Google themselves be hiring graduates of this Cyber security program to work at Google? Thoughts?

I’m taking the course now. I’m planning on applying to cyber sec jobs after I complete it. I have the it support cert and Junos-jncia plus some experience. Hope it’s enough.

A day in the life video would be awesome!

Hello sir ,your videos are very helpful. I 5 years career gap after 3 years experience as senior security analyst (soc and siem) . I started my career as cyber security analyst so I am more passionate about it currently I wish to reenter this field . What steps I can take to get a job in cyber security field after career gap .

Thanks for your input. I took two courses for comptia A+ and planning to take another course in Network + since I was told that knowledge in networking is a must before taking the Security + course. Will see how things go after Network +.

I am a newbie to cyber and have completed the intro to cyber, IT fundamentals and the DFE course on google, I’m just trying to build a solid foundation so I can land the 100k job, that’s why I’m currently into course 2 of the cyber certificate, thank you for the input, it’s much appreciated.

Hello Kevin, I also just recently passed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I did love getting into SQL as I am not familiar with it. I also loved the Python portion because I want to learn Python. What Python courses are you finding helpful for learning. I was going to try Python for everybody, but it seems a little dry. I just want to learn it to help support a cybersecurity career. I have also passed the Sec+ already and found that it was easy to get through all 8 curses in about 10 days. I slowed down for the python and SQL sections. Also have you tried the python for IT automation google cert?

Kev you speedballed that one huh lol.Seriously good stuff! I just got my security plus and I'm studying Linux now. I am kind of intrigued to take the google cbs cert.Would you say taking this cert is a step back, or complimentary of the security +.? I currently work in It support and I am looking to transition to a blue team role.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the review of the Google course, I have been in IT support for quite awhile and I am looking to break in cybersecurity, besides this course and Security+ what other ways to learn more skills would you suggest, I heard about the Blue Team Level I certification, which seems to be very hands on, any thoughts, thanks again.

Do you think having a deep understanding of machine learning may eventually play an important role in cybersecurity?

I'm doing the 7 day trial. I'm already almost done with the 3rd course but so far I don't see any labs. how many labs are there? And are they very useful? would i be able to practice any of this on my pc?

It covers a wide range of topics, one can finish it within a week depending on your experience, it's good for newbies, if you want to go more in depth then one might wanna to look at BLT 1 by elearn security

Hey Kevin, great video ! Do you have an example resume template that i could refer from? Thanks.

HELLO . can i learn i audit and when i will finish then i will buy a certificate.

I have my vmdr cert. Do you know of a way I can practice and get more experience.

Great video. I wanted to ask your thoughts on this certificate eliminating the need to have the comptia network+ and security+. I have some people saying this.

I'm transitioning from full time over-the-road trucking to Cybersecurity. i have literally hours each day while drivig to listen to classes. Is Coursera courses something that I can listen to while driving and perform exercises / labs / etc each night when i finish my day??? Thanks

so im about to take my a+ core2 and will study in google cert and then sec+ what do u think?

Reviews of professionals and one who is new to the field are completely different. By saying that some modules aren't good or for somebody else might not fetch the interest and one will no longer be happy to pursue the course. Give mediocre opinions so that a newbie like me gets interested in at least trying something new.

Does it require coding 😢

should we really go for it? ive been thinking about getting it its a 148 hours course if i study 4 hours a day lets say it could take me 2 months which is decent, im a college student so for me its amazing, and i really need certificates and more skills because i know uni itself is usless and same goes for the gpa lmao, so what should i really go for it? I'm studying computer networking and security at the moment

I'm stuck on the Linux can someone help

Is there an exam after the course if so where do u take the exam

So the course doesn't teach us splunk? . The only reason i bought the course is that i can learn splunk 💀

Should i take this if i already have the S+?

It covers a wide range of topics, one can finish it within a week depending on your experience level, it's good for newbies, if you want to go more in depth then one might wanna look at BLT 1 by Security Blue Team. But for red team i think one might need to do a bit more Foundational Linux, scripting and networking study.

do u watch gameranx btw
