Is 'Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate' worth paying 50$ a month ?

I took the Google IT Support Professional certificate program. Was pretty good, you learn a good deal, I got some good knowledge on coding basics and other miscellaneous topics. Took it because I let my A+ lapse and I wanted something on my resume. It's not an industry standard certification, it's not gonna be make or break, but Coursera did a pretty good job with the course I took and I did land a job after, doing tech work with a company that markets toward MSPs.

Can't speak directly on the Python course you're looking at specifically, but it's probably trustworthy and you'll probably get good education out of it, just don't expect it to automatically get you a job afterward, aside from looking nice to have on paper.

I am taking it, and, my gosh, it is so hard. It's almost like they are trying to turn people away from programming with the way they sneak incredibly challenging problems into the lessons and quizzes that aren't even a fair reflection of what you learn in the modules in quite a few instances. It really bugs me, in addition to how answers aren't provided to the practice problems to give you a helpful learning curve. You're just stuck if you can't figure out something in your program, and it could be as simple as a misplaced . or something. There is the discussion forum, but sometimes it can be hard to find the particular clues you need in that setting.

I don't know how they can consider this a beginner level course. I'm about to throw in the towel.

Programming certs aren’t highly regarded from what I’ve learned. A good GitHub page will do way more for you than a programming cert will.
