Top tips to prepare for your Google Cloud certification exam

    For those of you in a technical job role, we recommend leveraging the Google Cloud projects to build your hands-on experience with the Google Cloud console. With 500+ Google Cloud projects now available on Coursera, you can gain hands-on experience working in the real Google Cloud console, with no download or configuration required.

  2. Review the exam guide
    Exam guides provide the blueprint for developing exam questions and offer guidance to candidates studying for the exam. We´d encourage you to be prepared to answer questions on any topic in the exam guide, but it's not guaranteed that every topic within an exam guide will be assessed.

  3. Explore the sample questions
    Taking a look at the sample questions on each certification page will help to familiarize you with the format of exam questions and example content that may be covered.
