Google Cloud Skills Boost
Google Cloud Skills Boost, also called Google Skills, is a web learning platform for building skills including Google Cloud and AI. Its catalog combines courses and labs with videos, documents, practical activities, and quizzes. Cloud labs provide temporary credentials for practice using real cloud resources. Guided learning paths bring together selected courses or labs around a role, use case, or solution. Completing learning content can earn learners shareable skill badges and certificates. Subscription content includes material from Google Cloud, Google DeepMind, Google for Education, Google Marketing, and more. Labs require a laptop or desktop, an internet connection, and a supported browser, and a subscription permits one lab at a time. Current versions of popular browsers are supported; Firefox or Chrome are recommended. GEAR participants can claim 35 monthly learning credits at no cost.
