1. Certification process
As you explore the role of the Professional Data Engineer at Cymbal Retail in this course, you also explore different sections of the exam guide which forms the basis for the certification exam. In the following modules, you take diagnostic questions to assess your knowledge of each section of the exam guide. The exam guide for the Professional Data Engineer is divided into five sections, each containing one or more objectives. We focus on where you can find resources at the section objective level. You can find the exam guide on the certification page at cloud.google.com/learn/certification/ data-engineer. The certification page will always have the latest available version of the exam guide. It's important to note that there are separate teams developing the Professional Data Engineer exam questions and developing the courses and exam preparation materials. The course developers and instructors don’t know what questions will be on your certification exam. The goal of the course is to determine what you know and what you don’t know to help you prepare a study plan and get ready for the Professional Data Engineer job role and exam. Later, when you take the exam, you will demonstrate whether you have the skills and knowledge required to earn the certification. Throughout this course, you are 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 products and services.
