So I looked it up and Google is offering certifications in various fields through Coursera, and they claim it’ll help one get a good paying IT job.

People have made videos on Youtube talking about them with varying answers and in the comments, people often discuss using them as a springboard to get CompTIA certs.

But are these certifications actually worth the money financially? Do people actually get hired if that’s all an employee has? Don’t employers want people with degrees too?

    That’s an awesome suggestion, thank you. I assume TestOut doesn’t include any actual tests?

      It does not include the certification exams for CompTIA. it comes with lots of practice exams and labs. It’s all web based.

      Testout labsim is where you’ll learn all the stuff you need (if you don’t just go to youtube). You’ll have to order (or redeem) your tests through comptia themselves.
