The course contents are very helpful and well structured. I had a chance to review my lessons and knowledge about GCP services. Many thanks to the instructor and the Training team.

This is one of the best specializations I have done. It will take me still sometime to sit the actual GCP Architect exam, however it was a good foundation to begin with.

I would appreciate a couple more challenge labs. Regardless of the fact that the exam does not include these challenges, I found it very relevant for the role development.

Nevertheless the course is really really good. Thank you very much and good job.

It's much more difficult than the previous courses in the Google Cloud Architect Professional path, but it helps a lot to get a view on how the cert exam would be and how prepared you might be.

Good training, liked having the sandbox to use on labs, wish there were more labs, and better explanation of necessary steps for completing labs.

Super cours pour se préparer à la certification.

Manque de quizz, les questions sont trop superflues

I think it was a bit abstract, maybe more concrete concepts would be better! :D

There is a huge inconsistency in material level between last and previous courses of Cloud Architect. I would give more extended matching use-case -> cloud components matching possibilites for real life scenarios grouped by scalability, reliability and costs, The command labs are good but less important than understanding use cases, multiple solution approach with accent for criteria discovery. Platform always somehow changing with cloud platform/components upgrade, so clicking is not important, could be replaced by AI-like assistant in the future instead manula scripting commands.

English language problems in a few places ("develop confidence in those..."). Teaching not always consistent with practice exam questions. Partly outdated material (Cloud Container Builder is called Cloud Build nowadays).

The course can be useful though for identifying areas you need to focus on more.

The "Practice exam" has one of the answers wrong. The answer should be C (not B) because you need a database solution that supports transactions for storing user profiles and state. Here is the question -

Mountkirk Games wants to set up a real-time analytics platform for their new game. The new platform must meet their technical requirements. Which combination of Google technologies will meet all of their requirements?

A. Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL

B. Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Storage, Cloud Pub/Sub, and BigQuery

C. Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Cloud Pub/Sub, and Cloud Dataflow

D. Cloud Pub/Sub, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Dataproc

Great course !! Covers plenty of case studies from different angles. Plenty of quizzes to practice exam-like questions. Focus on methodology, problem solving, and identification of what you know and what you may want to study further.

The last question was buggy in the normal browser but needed private browser mode to actually submit.

This course was refreshing and brought valuable insight in preparation to the professional cloud exam.

Well, it's very similar to any exam prep course for Azure and AWS. With the devil hidden in the details, you have to pay attention to which technical and business needs you need to cover with the solution.

Amazing course. I wish I could have the time to take it again more times. Lots of concepts and and methods to get to the key point of the problem to find suitable solutions. Thank you.

The "Preparing" course captures a whole new level of difficulty versus the previous recommended courses. This should hopefully translate well into exam preparation.

The Labs are as I think they should always be: just big picture instructions and you have to figure out what to do. The study cases are also very interesting.

This course is robust and right for me. The last graded quizes were really challenging for me but that was just great for some real time practice

This course was very helpful in introducing the exam and putting a wrapper around all the technical concepts in the previous courses.

Excellent course, however, some of the product names and questions have not been updated to reflect the latest GCP changes.
