Gloat Post: 49 DAYS, ever, The "Credit Sprint" of 2023

[infradata.it@gmail.com]

I just had my credits itemized/dated (making my excel sheets) ... I may have issues?

more like 52ish days, as it took abit to figure it out and start Google IT

Saw other ppl's gloats, wanted to join in....

/

At 42 years of age (at the time), this gave me headaches ... bad ... that lead to a high blood pressure diagnosis (unrelated causes)

Causing me to pause "cramming" for like 9 months

Dont do this....

Why?: Found & joined ADA (was on work contract in NY/NY mid September 2023 .. ADA = "American Dream Academy", AWIT = "Advancing Women In Tech", via Coursea)

Cost = None, notta, zip, or $0 (well $44 for CSM)

• Google IT Support Professional Certificate (v2): 15 semester hours, completed 24 September 2023
  
• Google Project Management Certificate (v1): 9 semester hours, completed 3 October 2023
  
• ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC): 2 semester hours, completed 9 October 2023 ... not ADA, but free in "1 million in CC" drive
  
• IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate: 10 semester hours, completed 9 October 2023
  
• Google UX Design Professional Certificate: 10 semester hours, completed 21 October 2023
  
• Real-World Cloud Product Management Specialization (AWIT): 6 semester hours, completed 22 October 2023
  
• The CSM Course: 3 semester hours, completed 23 October 2023 ... not ADA, got discount code online, like $44
  
• Google Digital Marketing and E-Commerce Professional Certificate: 9 semester hours, completed 25 October 2023
  
• Real-World Product Management Specialization (AWIT): 6 semester hours, completed 26 October 2023
  
• Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate: 12 semester hours, completed 28 October 2023
  
• The Salesforce Sales Operations Professional Certificate: 1 semester hour, completed 30 October 2023
  
• Meta Certified Digital Marketing Associate: 1 semester hour, completed 7 November 2023
  
• Salesforce Sales Development Representative Professional Certificate (v.1): 3 semester hours, completed 7 November 2023
  
• Meta Social Media Marketing Professional Certificate: 2 semester hours, completed 10 November 2023
  
• Foundations of Cyber Crimes (AWR-168-W)(v.2): 2 semester hours, completed 12 November 2023, ... not ADA, but free, found TEEX morning I had the Dr appt that afternoon
  

Note: I was pre-skilled from my career, in most of these... CSM was the worst/longest to finish (like a week+), for me

Regrets? ... Not doing the 2 "SAS Programming" courses, or more IBM certs, for "free" at the time (DeepLearning's course was is too "deep" for me)
Edit: also not canceling my membership, when it wasn't charging me ... I did get charged $77 Canadian dollars (twice, 2x months!)

Many more options now, but ADA ended awhile back ... not bad for a mid-wit (spread v112/e133/f135/c135-o129)
