Certification process
1. Certification process
The Associate Cloud Engineer certification exam is based on the exam guide. In the following modules, you'll take diagnostic questions to assess your knowledge of each section of the exam guide. The exam guide is divided into 5 sections. Each section has several objectives. We'll focus on where you can find resources at the section objective level. You can find the exam guide on the certification page, at the URL shown on the screen. Throughout this course, you'll be pointed to specific resources and documentation that can help you fill the gaps you identify through the diagnostic questions. Let's go over the types of resources you may want to include in your study plan. Google provides resources to help you develop your skills and experience with Google Cloud solutions. The learning path for this certification includes in-person or online courses, online practice labs and skill badges, and practice questions. The courses recommended for the Associate Cloud Engineer certification can be taken on demand or as instructor-led courses. You learn more about how these courses relate to the sections of the exam guide as you complete the modules in this course. The skill badges provide hands-on experience working in Google Cloud. Skill badges are learning paths made up of labs that give you practice with Google Cloud services or solutions. Pass the challenge lab and you will receive a shareable credential that recognizes your ability to solve real-world problems with your cloud knowledge. As we review the diagnostic questions in this course, you also get recommendations for skill badges to include in your study plan. You can access the Associate Cloud Engineer Learning Path at www.skills.google/paths/11. Sample questions are another resource that you can use to prepare. The diagnostic questions in this course are designed to help you identify your knowledge gaps. On the certification page, Google provides a different set of sample questions that can help you familiarize yourself with the format of the exam questions. Once you complete the question set, you will receive feedback describing the rationale for the correct answers. The sample questions provide a good opportunity to practice taking the type of scenario-based, application-level questions on the exam. The exam questions present you with a scenario, explain the goal or what you are trying to achieve, and ask you what you would do in this situation. Remember these tips for multiple choice questions: Read the question stem carefully. Make sure you understand exactly what the question is asking. Try to anticipate the correct answer before looking at the options. You should be able to come up with the correct answer just from reading the question stem. You may find that more than one answer may be possible on multiple choice tests. Take questions at face value. If certain details are omitted, then they are unlikely to contribute to the selection of the best answer. And pay attention to the qualifiers, such as "usually","all", "never", and "none". And key words, such as "the best", "the least", or "except". Google also supplies official public documentation for its products and services. This documentation can be found at the URL shown on the screen. In each of the following modules, you'll learn about specific documentation resources to help you study that section in preparation for the exam.2. Let's practice!
