    How helpful is the Google IT certificate? I’m trying to land my first help desk job. Do I have a shot at getting one of these roles before earning a CompTIA A+?

        I had to clear the AWS SAA before nominations started for the certification drive. Unfortunately I cleared my exam after the nomination window. Otherwise would have opted for Security speciality or SAP.

            AWS SAA was a prerequisite for the security speciality in the certification drive but I cleared my exam after the nomination window and it doesn’t look like I can change it at this point.

              I don’t quite know of this certification drive you speak about: is this specific to your company?

              I have a 50% off voucher since I sat for the SAA recently, I’ll just use that hehe

                Yes. My company has a certification drive where it provides a voucher for free of cost.
