Are Google Certifications?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Google certification is an online course that can help you start a new career in an in-demand field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Courses are available in:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Marketing and E-Commerce<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Support<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data Analytics<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project Management<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX Design\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a flexible, study-when-you-can approach, these courses fast-track the learning process. With as little as ten hours of study time per week, you can complete a Google certification in three to six months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google created these certifications with beginners in mind. The idea behind each course is to give people paths into industries with available jobs as quickly as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than spend years studying at a college or university, a three to six-month certificate program can help you get your foot in the door at major companies that are hiring now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within each course, Google also offers career resources, including coaching sessions, mock interviews, and a professional resume builder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, Google provides a networking platform that allows you to share your resume with top employers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while Google can&#8217;t promise you&#8217;ll find a new job thanks to their certificate, they certainly set their students up for success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Should Get Google Certifications?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google certifications are for anyone looking to start a new career or pivot an existing one into an in-demand industry. For example, if you&#8217;re interested in Data Analytics or IT support but don&#8217;t have a degree or experience in those fields, a Google certificate is perfect for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google certificates may also be helpful for those who already have some experience and need to validate their knowledge. Listing a Google certificate on your resume or LinkedIn profile could show prospective employers that your skills are legitimate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&#8217;s crucial to note that Google certification courses assume their students are total beginners. And certificate courses set graduates up for entry-level positions in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you&#8217;re already an experienced data analyst with a college degree, taking the data analyst course is unlikely to be very valuable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Are Google Certifications Important?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google certifications change the standard education model in a major way. Instead of requiring a high-cost degree, students can access an affordable, flexible course that sets them up for a potentially high-paying career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For people who want to change careers or start one without going into debt or investing too much time, Google certifications are a crucial step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other certification programs available, of course, but none of them have Google&#8217;s reputation, and few cater to complete beginners at such an affordable rate. Plus, other certification programs don&#8217;t set students up with an employer network the way Google can.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, obtaining a Google certificate may be vital if you want to change careers or start your career in a fast-growing tech-related industry. At the least, it&#8217;s incredibly helpful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can You Get Hired With a Google Certification?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google can&#8217;t promise a job upon certificate completion, but surveys would suggest that a Google certificate does help job-seekers gain employment or make a career advancement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Google&#8217;s 2021 program survey, 75% of program graduates report career improvement within six months of program completion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That stat isn&#8217;t surprising when you look at how Google sets up its courses. Everything they include is geared towards employment. They teach the skills employers are looking for, then offer tools to help you build a stand-out resume and ace interviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, you gain access to Google&#8217;s Employer Consortium when you complete the program. A consortium is a group of over 150 major employers, including:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Target<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wells Fargo<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verizon<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deloitte<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walmart<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bayer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and many, many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, Google hires out of its certification program as well. That&#8217;s the major reason they started the certification programs! They couldn&#8217;t find enough qualified applicants to fill the roles at their company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Do Google Certifications Cost?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google certifications are very affordable, but they aren&#8217;t free. To access the program, you need a Coursera subscription. Coursera charges $39 per month for U.S. users. The price varies in other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. So, you can try the program before committing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that a course typically takes three to six months, most program graduates spend less than $300 on their certification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$300 is very affordable compared to other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/educationdata.org\/average-cost-of-college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">education options<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it&#8217;s not feasible for everyone. Luckily, Google offers financial aid and scholarships. So, if the Coursera subscription is out of your price range, you may still be able to take advantage of the program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things to Note About Google Certifications<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google certifications are a reputable way to gain skills that big employers seek. However, it&#8217;s important to note that there are other certification programs that the tech industry recognizes and sometimes requires.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, many tech jobs require a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptia.org\/certifications\/a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CompTIA A+<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> certification. This certification requires a lot of study and multiple exams to achieve. Major tech players like Dell and HP require it for many of their employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you&#8217;re new to the tech world or pivoting from a different industry, the CompTIA A+ certification and others like it may be too advanced. So, you may want to start with a Google certificate before pursuing other, more advanced certifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also crucial to note that Google certification programs are entirely remote and on your terms. So, they may be difficult to complete if you learn best in person or need significant structure to pass a class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5ccb74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"c5ccb74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"29329\" class=\"elementor elementor-29329\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-486a9019 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"486a9019\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ed64254\" data-id=\"6ed64254\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-281ae6ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"281ae6ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.22.0 - 24-06-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"14\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adcore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Group-10466.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-28055\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dc8e19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4dc8e19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.22.0 - 24-06-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Google certifications are a reputable way to gain skills that big employers seek.

However, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes131082.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bureau of Labor and Statistics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> data shows that this salary varies significantly by industry. For example, the median salary for a project manager in finance and securities is $129,000, and in oil and gas, it&#8217;s $151,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX Design<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you consider yourself creative, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interaction-design.org\/literature\/topics\/ux-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX design<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be a good fit.

The jobs aren&#8217;t as in-demand as other fields, but if you&#8217;re good at design, a UX design certificate could launch a very lucrative career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Support Professional<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT support professionals are problem solvers that enjoy helping people. The median salary in IT support is relatively low at only $55,000, but the work is flexible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can work non-traditional hours, and almost every company needs IT support professionals. So the job market is vast and crosses industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Marketing and E-Commerce\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital marketing is all about reaching customers. E-commerce turns that reach into more sales. These jobs allow you to work with people and technology creatively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google reports that the median salary for this field is $51,000, which may not seem like much compared to other certificate fields. However, marketing specialists have the potential to make far more depending on the company they work for and the career path they choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main Takeaway<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a Google certificate can jumpstart your career in a new field without putting you into debt or taking up too much time.
