Google IT Support Certificate Renewed

[dfrecore]

Credly responded saying that yes they did update their badges to 15cr, BUT if you already obtained the badge before renewal it will only still be worth 12cr.  You would have to retake the entire class to get the new badge worth 15cr.

That's because the 12cr course is a different course; they updated the current version with more material to cover.

Wow... I just got blessed!!! I finished on Feb 2 2023, and thought I was out of luck and missed totally out of the ACE recommendations. And now I get the ACE recommendation and its now worth 15 credits???? AWESOME!!

TESU used to give 3cr for this cert; I imagine it will still be the same.

I can (somewhat) confirm that, as of October 2023, TESU does, in fact, give all 15 credits for the Google IT Support Certificate! The specific 15 credits are CIS-1070 Computer Concepts and Applications, CYB-1200 Intro to Cybersecurity, ITS-1400 Intro to Networking, ITS-1600 Fundamentals of Modern Operating Systems, and ITS-2610 Linux. These credits are all very useful for the TESU BSIT or BS-Cybersecurity.  
The partial confirmation is because I completed the certificate through ASU ULC's pathway instead of Coursera. Immediately after completing all of the required Google content items within the ASU courses, I received the Credly badge. Notably, it was issued by "Google Career Certificates" instead of Coursera and did not have an associated ACE endorsement. However, the ACE bit was added after months of back and forth with Credly support. When I sent TESU my Credly transcript in late September, these credits eventually showed up on my transfer credit report.  
I don't know how TESU will handle the Coursera version of the badge. Because the ACE identifier is the same, I think they'd award the same equivalencies.  
Note that you do not have to transcript any of these courses at ASU in order to get the Credly badge. Only paying the $25 signup fee for each course is required, and that's waived if you join the AZNext program.

Oh, nice! Interesting... That's a good deal for those wanting TESU or UMPI, even though some may not be going for the BS Cybersecurity or BSIT, these can go into the free electives for any degree and there are 30 credits at minimum for some of the TESU degrees.

The Wiki still shows that TESU only gives 3 credits. 

It would make getting the IT degree much easier if TESU gave 15 credits for the Google cert.

You could almost do the IT degree in one term if you could find something that fits the Computer Programming I requirement.

I keep forgetting to update the wiki when I'm at the computer...
