      If not, who cares? Don't study for what your company cares about unless that is who you want a promotion in. Study/learn for the job you want.

      Doesn't answer the question; but appreciate the feedback

      It can be paired with A+ (and I'm guessing Network+) according to the FAQ at the Bottom. Would this be good for someone just starting?

        I've never heard of it - I know my boss has never heard of it - so no, it likely wouldn't matter at my company.

          A friend of mind is doing that for web development, I think. I'd probably treat it like any other cert: Chase the skills and the cert's an added bonus.

              If any company has insight and experience with what works, what doesn't, and how to kill things, it's Google.

                You'd like to think so - but after 20 years, you'd think they'd have a leading chat client. Instead we have the yoyo of chat clients from them.

                  So I have a question.... Google isn't an IT company and does effectively no support. What does an IT Support Cert by Google imply? Why not a cert from Ford or Hasbro? None of them are IT companies. Having a cert by a company that doesn't do or know IT at all for an IT field and isn't a cert company, and doesn't even make products for the field... feels like it would, at best, look really awkward on a resume.

                        The funny thing is that I can't tell if you are joking or not.

                            I looked around at my desk and had a napkin from raisin canes, so I just used that...

                              🙂 That's good. but you could totally see a large restaurant chain having an internal cert for some reason, too.
