TOP REVIEWS FROM GOOGLE WORKSPACE SECURITY

by GBAug 11, 2019

Overall good, but I felt the SSO and LDAP parts were hard to follow as it wasn't possible to complete realistic workshops on these. Perhaps when the videos are added it will help.

by TTAug 28, 2019

In depth info, as we all know on demand videos would make a better impact but a full of knowledge

regards the security of G suite.

by MLSep 13, 2019

Some features are slightly different that what is presented in the course, which can make it difficult to complete the assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
What is the refund policy?
