Google IT support from Coursera qualify ACE credit

This is worth it even if you don't need the credit. These are essentials for everyone by now.

Also, if you can't do it in Seven Days, and know yo ucan't... Apply for financial aid. Coursera is very generous with it.

It's not really essential. I've heard several dozen people who are quite frustrated with Google because this "industry-supported certification" hasn't improved their job hunt at all for almost a year. A+ is still better, experience is best.

A+, Network+, and experience are clearly going to be better in terms of usability. But this thing isn't that bad either. At the very least, it can help you to prepare for the other, more difficult, exams. For $59, it's not a bad deal. I definitely feel sorry for anyone who paid for 3-6 months of Coursera to get this certificate, though. It is not worth that. Not by a long shot.
