Google ACE - MNomadic - 10-27-2021
It looks like Google has sought ACE status for several of their new certs!
Data Analytics 12 credits
Project Management 9 credits(6UL)
UX Design 10 credits(3 UL)
These of course join the popular IT Support Professional cert which is recommended for 12 credits and already offered as part of the curriculum at many colleges. Sadly the IT Automation with Python cert is not on that list. Some of those courses cover some potentially useful niches and those UL credits might be very useful to some!

Wow, that's an awesome update. I might just have to go get the other 3 for the ACE credits alone and brush up on my skills. They have 4 out of the 5 professional certificates providing ACE credits! Here's their list, only the IT Automation (Python one) doesn't provide ACE credit as of yet... hopefully they add that soon if they are adding it. Link: https://www.coursera.org/google-career-certificates
Furthermore, I noticed they dropped the pricing, I recall it was $49/month but now I read it's $39/month, was this a recent change? If so, I assume one can finish each certificate in a month time if you put the energy/time into the courses. If someone wanted to do all 4, in 4 months, that would be amazing, and all under $160! BTW, I would work on the IT Automation last, just in case it does get credit later...
Update: The Data Analytics Pro Cert is using R Programming and not Python. So it'll be even more awesome, you can learn both instead of just one or the other! Great deal!

Yes, you have to complete all courses in order to receive the certificate. You must have the certificate to get any ACE credits.

Amazing!!!
RE: Google ACE - dfrecore - 10-27-2021
I looked at the ACE National Guide, and the certs are all on there - so I guess "sought" is not the right wording here, they are all ACE-recommended for credit.

Yes, finally you can get a meaningful bachelor's degree that teaches you really useful skills LOL
Someone should create a bachelor's degree in Google IT.
'BS in Google IT Technologies' would be great lol
RE: Google ACE - rachel83az - 10-28-2021
Bear in mind that TESU doesn't give you full credits for the IT certificate and probably won't give you full credits for the others, either.
If you're going to get full credits for anything, I would suspect the best place to check would be Purdue Global.

It's also a good way to earn a bunch of Free Electives if you have a degree that will accept a lot, and don't have any yet (or not many). Something like EC's BSL degree where there are 60cr available - and you can have up to 9cr of UL be counted towards your 30cr UL requirement.
