@Gijaodola, Welcome to the board... Answers are subjective and vary as many different variables are at play. It's great you're asking questions, essentially your pace vs mine for example are vastly different as your commitments, time available for study, etc aren't identical to mine. What I suggest you do, is provide us more details by filling out the template and also the last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Forum-D...ing-Advice
People will be swayed by different answers in many directions, it's up to you to decide which advice hits you with the answer you're looking for. Many would skip the Google Certs and just complete the UMPI courses. I, on the other hand, need extra learning to cover and fill in gaps for many subjects, and take courses that overlap that information, as I have a hard time learning/retaining information properly.
Again, depending on your commitments, energy, money, time, you decide to take the Google Certs and ask to NOT include them in your evaluations OR tell UMPI you'll like to take the courses there for the 30 residency requirements (if you know the subject well from the Google Certs, it becomes easy and you can finish the courses faster). I like to work on 3 things, Certs, Degree, Experience and get a 'mix/match' of the three.
