GDG Cloud Boston and GDG Atlanta are pleased to present a series of workshops aimed at helping developers become a Google Certified Professional Cloud Database Engineer.
This first organizational meeting will describe the benefits of the program and help developers decide if it is right for them.
The workshop series will consist of 12 sessions. The first organizational meeting will describe the benefits of the program and help developers decide if it is right for them. Six of the sessions, to be held every other week, will feature formal presentations tied to the Skills Boost Database Engineer Learning path https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/paths/22
In between the 6 formal sessions, we will have informal Office Hours meetings.
Some of the sessions will include guest lectures from a Google Developer Expert in this field.
This workshop series, and associated Skills Boost training will prepare you to take the exam to become a Google Professional Cloud Database Engineer https://cloud.google.com/learn/certification/cloud-database-engineer
If you are interested in becoming a Google Professional Data Engineer, this is not the correct series for you. See the upcoming workshop series being offered by GDG Cloud Bloomington-Normal https://gdg.community.dev/gdg-cloud-bloomington-normal/
Participants with appropriate background should expect to spend 10-12 hours per week on Skills Boost training, in addition to the scheduled meetings. Substantial effort beyond attending the weekly meetings is required in order to reach the skill level required to pass the certification exam.
Prerequisites for starting this series should include 2 or more of the following. Those not meeting the recommended prerequisites should consult with the session leaders prior to joining. Additional effort beyond the typical 10-12 hours per week will be needed if prerequisites are not met.
