The need for competent GCP practitioners is increasing and a large number of people have entered the cloud field. So, if you want to work as a GCP Developer, you must distinguish yourself from your colleagues in some way, such as obtaining a certification.

A certification helps businesses distinguish between people who claim to know GCP and those who genuinely do understand how to work in GCP. As a result, holding a GCP certification might help you stand out to potential employers. If you’re a newbie and want to learn GCP, it is best to start with an online course that teaches you the fundamentals while also providing hands-on experience.

How long will it take to complete GCP Certification?

Each GCP certification course and exam is a different duration and time required varies from person to person depending on how much time is invested to study materials and practice new skills.

For beginner courses, we recommend planning 10-20 hours of total study time to prepare for the exam. Advanced courses typically require a longer commitment – up to 5-10 hours a week for several months.

Whatever your case, don’t rush to take the exam! Make time to cover training materials, practice real scenarios in risk-free environments, and take the practice exams.
