Google Cloud professional online training and certification Description
Overview
Understanding all there is to know about Google Cloud Platform without a Google Cloud certification is like to knowing how to fly an airplane but not having a pilot’s license. Knowing the fundamentals of Google Cloud will not be enough if you want to get certified in GCP. You should be aware of the real-world issues encountered when utilizing GCP. When you demonstrate that you are a Google Cloud certified specialist, the value of your CV skyrockets.
The Google Cloud Platform is another high-quality offering from Google. Google, being the most well-known brand in the Internet business, joined the cloud competition in 2011, after current leaders AWS and Azure. GCP has grown at an amazing pace since then. GCP is currently used by the majority of Fortune 500 companies for their cloud requirements. Do you want to become GCP certified? In this Google Cloud Certification blog, we will show you how to get started with GCP and, of course, how to become GCP certified!
Why is Google Cloud Platform certification important?
If we know why, we’ve already covered half of the distance!
Aside than GCP, why do we need any certification? Certification offers visual evidence to an interviewer, who will evaluate you in a fraction of a second whether or not you have the knowledge needed to take on and fulfill the work requirements. Isn’t the same true for Google Cloud certifications?
Let us use the example of a cardiac operation. So, there are two men who offer to do the operation and claim to have performed a similar procedure before. However, person 1 has a medical degree from a reputable institution, while person 2 does not. Which do you prefer?
You would have already decided who would be favored. The same is true for a Google Cloud employment role.
One may be able to build an application architecture on GCP but fail to demonstrate it to the interviewer. So, if you believe you know GCP extremely well, why not get the certification and increase your chances of being hired?
