Cloud Engineer Certification Overview
-
This one-day instructor-led course helps prospective candidates structure their preparation for the Associate Cloud Engineer exam.
-
The session will cover the structure and format of the examination, as well as its relationship to other Google Cloud certifications.
-
Through lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, candidates will familiarize themselves with the domains covered by the examination.
-
An Associate Cloud Engineer deploys applications, monitors operations, and manages enterprise solutions.
-
With a shortage of cloud expertise in the job market, which is projected to last for the next several years, Google Cloud certifications can differentiate you from others and prove that you have not only the technical knowledge but also the skills required to do the job.
-
This course by itself will not prepare a candidate to pass the Associate Cloud Engineer certification exam.
-
It will, however, help the candidate better understand the areas covered by the exam and navigate the recommended resources provided by Google and Qwiklabs to prepare for the exam, so they can formulate their own personal study plan.
