Why should I get Google Cloud certified?

Google Cloud certifications help you advance your professional skills and demonstrate your value to hiring managers. Also once you become Google Cloud certified, you unlock the following benefits: Distinguish yourself with a digital badge by sharing it on your social profile or resume. Showcase your achievement on a publicly-accessible Google Cloud Certified Directory. Get exclusive Google Cloud Certified swag for Professional certifications. Network and exchange ideas with others in the Google Cloud Certified community. Get access to global cloud virtual and in-person events hosted by Google Cloud.

What is the difference between Skill Badges and Certifications

A skill badge measures one’s knowledge of a specific product or service and tests their ability to apply that knowledge in an interactive hands on environment. A certification measures an individual’s proficiency at performing a specific job role using Google Cloud technology. A certification exam tests one knowledge of a wide range of products and services needed to perform a job role versus one product/service. In order to prepare for a Google Cloud certification, it is recommended that an individual has multiple years of experience in the role, in addition to completing the recommended online training and skill badges.
