would take 2 days to complete all of it now the exams you just have to score 80% in order to pass at the end there's also some really good instructors here as well and these are people who of course work for Google so they know the skills that Google demands and the skills that you should know in order to become valuable so yeah this one's really good I like it a lot let's talk about the next one which is Introduction to systems auditing controls and assurance and this is by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology now this one is hosted on corsera which does have many free courses that you can actually take and in this one it would help you get an it related job now 91,000 people have enrolled in this course and it does have a 4.7 star rating which is excellent it takes about 8 hours to complete so you know 2 hours a week you can complete it in 3 weeks and most likely you could complete completed a lot faster than that and it's also flexible schedule you can take it anytime you want and it's a beginner level course now some of the skills you'll gain here are information technology or it management risk management change management infos SEC or information security and audit you can also take the assessments and it's taught in 22 different languages and many companies actually partner with corsera and have their employees take corsera certificates and the reason for that is because corsera teaches the skills that companies actually want unlike universities that either teach you stuff that is interesting in Theory and it's hypothetical but it's not actually practical or stuff that is practical but it worked 5 10 or 20 years ago but doesn't work now now you can audit this course for free and for the paid features you can do a free 7-Day corsera trial now if you do choose to actually upgrade to the paid version it's only $49 a month so Cera is very affordable even if you do pay for it unlike many certifications out there that cost thousands of dollars got to get up early and waste some more money on my overpriced education so yeah this one is excellent and another really good it related one which does actually cost so you do have to actually pay to take it only $49 though and you can take it on your 7-Day free trial is the Microsoft it support professional certificate and it's an absolute Game Changer and you can gain Hands-On skills and Industry recognized credentials in order to jump start your career and this can definitely help you to get into the IT industry so you can check out the link in the description and the pin comment in order to enroll now another really good one by corsera is going to be introduction to generative AI now this is a super quick one you can actually finish it in about 1 hour but 338,000 people have enrolled and it has a 4.7 star rating so basically what you'll learn here is how to Define generative AI how to explain how generative AI Works how to describe generative AI model types and describe generative AI applications so it truly is just a very basic way of understanding generative AI now funny enough you do earn a career certificate here so you can literally get a certificate in one hour now there is one assessment you can audit it without any pay and there is a 7-Day free trial like I said before if you choose to upgrade so yeah another really cool one another one is going to be introduction to data analysis using Microsoft Excel this one had 179,000 people in roll and it has a 4.7 star rating so it's really good and it only takes you about 2 hours in order to go through it and basically you're going to be doing data analysis related tasks using the Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Suite so yeah another quick one that you can take it's super easy to take and you can do it incredibly quickly and get a certificate if you'd like I have the certificate and these certificates by the way you can put on your LinkedIn you can put on your resume and many people have reported to me that companies have actually found them through their certificates by the way links to all of these will be down in the description in the pin comment below if I didn't say that already next is going to be the HubSpot Academy inbound marketing certification now this one is done by HubSpot which is a really big and well-known CRM and it's basically seven lessons 24 videos and about 5 hours of Total content and this will likely take you a few days or maybe a few weeks at most to get through now I've consumed a lot of hubspot's free and paid information in the past and it's almost always top tier HubSpot does a really good job whenever they give out information so I thought I'd put this one in there and basically inbound marketing is any type of marketing where people are coming to you right so for instance creating content you know you people consume your content and then maybe they want to get on your email list or maybe they want some kind of freeb that you have and then you start marketing to them but they came to you you're not going out and getting them that would be outbound marketing such as cold calling cold messaging or paid ads so yeah this is another really good one one that is great for coding related topics is going to be free code camp and you can literally earn free certifications from free code camp and here's a bunch of them that you can earn I'll just put them up on the screen you can check them out right so responsive web design certification JavaScript certification frontend development Library certification data visualization certification etc etc so free code Camp is top tier they have a great reputation online however you're not going to have any instructors or instructor support because of the fact that of course it's free and so this takes a tremendous amount of willpower to get through on your own without having an instructor or without even going through it with other students but with that being said it's still really good information next is going to be edx's free cs50 introduction to computer science now this is a very well-known course many people have even made videos about it on YouTube but this is another really good one where you basically get to know like the fundamentals of computer science and it is kind of designed like a college class in many ways but it's free now they say it takes 12 weeks to go over at about 6 to 18 hours per week typically you can do it a bit faster than that and it's also self-paced so you can progress at your own speed and this comes from Harvard freaking University so possibly the most famous and prestigious University in the entire world I'm going to Harvard let's go to Harvard so this is going to give you a really good foundation when it comes to computer science and programming they're going to go through different languages such as python C SQL and JavaScript and yeah it's just a really good and well-respected certificate next is going to be con Academy's finance and capital markets now Con Academy is another another unbelievably good free resource that you can access online I've been watching Con Academy videos I think since I was in high school so they've been around for a while and they are awesome and basically this course is going to teach you all about financial Concepts such as stocks bonds interest rates and the functioning of capital efficient markets and with this you could pursue roles such as financial analyst investment banker financial planner and market research analyst and honestly this one might be a good one to go through whether or not you want to work in one of those careers because this is just really good and useful information for you to know in General so yeah really like this one really like Con Academy definitely check it out and also share this video with a friend who needs to see it someone else who's maybe trying to get a job and needs to get some certificates or certifications now by the way guys if you're curious about how I've grown this YouTube channel and how I make these videos so entertaining yet educational I am going to be hosting a live YouTube training on Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time where I basically just revealed the exact strategies that I used to grow my channel to multiple six figures per month so that's another free training for you next is going to be

you'll gain are data science data analysis Python Programming numpy and pandas and you can go through it for free and it doesn't take all that long to do so another really good one definitely check it
