Google did not clearly say how much the new courses would cost.
But Google’s similar course on the “Coursera<\/strong>” online learning website (the Google IT Help Educational Credential) costs $49 a month for enrolled students (At that value a six-month course would cost just 294$).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s less than many university students spend on their books in one semester alone. It is not a bad idea to enroll in the Google’s certificate program in this amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the key complaints of higher education over the years has been stated below. The universities do not properly prepare students with real-world skills that they need at work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Walker says,” The Google Career Certificates has become one of Coursera’s most successful certifications. Thousands of people have found new jobs and increased their income since completing the course”. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
