10 Days to Become a Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer

I recently took the updated Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer exam. Studying for the test is a great way to learn the data engineering process with Google Cloud.

I recommend studying for the exam if you want to use Google Cloud products and:

• are a data engineer
• want to become a data engineer
• want to build a tech company
• are a data scientist and want to understand the whole data pipeline

In this article I’ll share the what, why, and how to help you take your best shot at the exam. 🎯

Aim for the apple.

Why

Let’s tackle the why first. I decided to take the Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer exam for two reasons. First, I wanted to learn more about Google Cloud products for data engineering and machine learning. Second, I wanted to pass the exam and demonstrate that I’d learned the information. 😃

I chose a Google exam over offerings from AWS and Microsoft Azure for a few reasons. First, Google is the leading cloud provider in terms of machine learning and AI. They are also the platform I would use if I were starting a company in the space.
