Yva Xorna Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I see Google have started offering classes in IT for anybody who is interested. For $49/month go at your own pace get certified as a IT Support Professional and they claim to help with the job search afterwards. "If you dedicate 8-10 hours a week to the courses, you can complete the certificate in about eight months. " That would be a total cost of just under $400. By comparison, the community college I attend is $46/unit x 35 units which is $1610 plus whatever the books come out to and will take about 2 years. The difference would be if you wanted something that was academically accredited and/or could be used to transfer to another school, then the community college would be the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically Google has started it's own school? Hmm. Yeah, they are sooooo trying to take over the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yva Xorna Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yes then there is that lol. I'm all for education though and learning at your own pace is nice too, as long as they provide structure (lessons that go in a particular order).
