Cloud Digital Leader Certification training FAQs

Is the Google Cloud Digital Leader worth it?

Whether or not the Cloud Digital Leader certification is worth it for you and your career depends on a few things. First, your experience level at work – highly trained and experienced IT professionals won't benefit much from the entry-level cloud certification, but new IT or non-IT professionals will get a lot out of it. Also, it's best for people whose work includes using (or advocating for) cloud technologies to transform business decisions.

How much does the Cloud Digital Leader cost?

It costs $99 to attempt the Cloud Digital Leader exam. Google's Cloud Digital Leader exam is a 90-minute exam with 50-60 multiple choice questions related to digital transformation, Google cloud solutions, infrastructure modernization, and Google Cloud security and operations. There are no prerequisite exams or certs for the Cloud Digital Leader, and it's valid for three years from the date you pass the exam.

How difficult is the Google Cloud Digital Leader exam?

Maybe you're a project manager or administrator whose company is considering jumping into the cloud – you'll need a good understanding of Google's cloud storage and compute tools. Or maybe you're a new IT administrator – experienced with other clouds but never Google. This short course will get you up to speed.
