Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Network Engineer training and certification exam preparation centre
Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Network Engineer is the Google Cloud credential for designing, building and operating networks on Google Cloud. Google Cloud certifies engineers on its own cloud and data platform, so the exam is scoped to how Google Cloud services actually behave in production.
This is a senior credential. It assumes real production experience and tests judgement more than recall. It is worth holding if designing, building and operating networks on Google Cloud is already part of your day, or is where you want your next role to be.
Training combines live teaching with cloud networking scenarios built from the Google Cloud objective list, so the exam covers ground you have already worked through. Preparation leans on scenario work, because at this level the exam rewards judgement over memorisation.
The listed fee is USD 300; booked through WebAsha it is USD 199, a 10% saving. Google Cloud sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Because Google Cloud can revise the format, duration and passing mark between versions, treat the official exam page as the source of truth. We go through the current details with you before you book.
