FREE Python Course! By Google +Free Certificate.
First of all, what are Google Career Certificates? These are programs that google themselves have created for people to learn about skills and get them job-ready. So in the end, you will get a professional certificate using which you can open the gates for opportunities and apply for jobs. So that is basically what Google Career Certificates are about.
They have various different fields in which they have launched various Courses and Certification Programs. For instance in UX design, Data Analytics, IT Support & Automation, and many more. But the one that we’ll be looking at today is on Python. It’s going to be about IT Automation.
