The Google IT Support Certificate is a hands-on, online program designed to prepare beginner learners for entry-level jobs in IT support upon completion of the certificate. The program was developed by Google and covers the fundamentals of IT support, including troubleshooting, customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, and security.
Launched in 2018, the Google IT Support Certificate has become the single most popular certificate on Coursera, and thousands of people have found new jobs and increased their earnings after completing the certificate. After seeing the impact this certificate drove for individual learners, Google decided to bring this program for free to educational institutions such as community colleges and CTE high schools. The Google Career Certificates program is a part of Grow with Google, an initiative to help people across the U.S. grow their skills, careers and businesses. Now more than ever, Americans need digital skills to land the jobs they want, advance their careers, and grow their businesses. Grow with Google aims to help by providing free training, tools and expertise.
