Google has created an entry level IT Certificate

12

A post on the Google blog explains it way better than I can, but the gist is they created a 6 course program on Coursera that prepares you for an entry level position in the IT field. Google has always promoted education, but as far as I can tell this is the first certificate they have offered. And, before you ask, yes, you can skip the course and just take the tests if you are already past “entry level.” The first course starts Jan 23rd.

What do you guys think? Is this cert. going to be worth anything?
