SureSkills offers Google Cloud's certification programmes that offer Google Cloud users, customers and partners a way to demonstrate their technical skills in a particular job role or technology. Individuals are assessed using a variety of rigorously developed industry standard methods to determine whether they meet Google Cloud's proficiency standards.

Google Cloud certifications give you benchmarks for your professional development. They help you gauge your skill set against your peers and demonstrate your value to hiring managers. Certifications also manage risk by showing to employers that key employees have the relevant certifications to use and manage important technologies in their organisation.

Unless explicitly stated in the detailed exam descriptions, all Google Cloud certifications are valid for 2 years from the date certified. Candidates must re-certify in order to maintain their certification status.

Google Cloud exams are designed to determine only whether or not an individual meets a minimum passing standard. They are not designed to be diagnostic or spread people out on a scale of ability. For this reason numerical scores are not meaningful for the examinee and can be misinterpreted.

Yes, there may be technical system requirements you need to meet before you can begin your remotely proctored exam. Please refer to the individual exam pages for the G Suite certification and the G Suite Administrator certification for more details.

Kryterion are the official testing centre for all Google Certification exams. As part of SureSkills commitment to being the complete Google Cloud partner we have become an official Kryterion test centre. 

You will receive your exam results on-screen immediately after completing your exam.

If you fail the exam, you can retake the exam subject to the following conditions:  

• If you don't pass an exam, you can take it again after 14 days. If you don't pass a second time, you must wait 60 days before you can take it a third time. If you don't pass the third time, you must wait a year before taking it again.
• You may attempt the exam in multiple languages, but each attempt regardless of language counts toward the total permissible attempts and the waiting period between attempts still applies.
• Payment is required each time you take an exam. 
• Circumventing this retake policy by registering under a different name or any other means is a violation of the exam terms and conditions and will result in a denied or revoked certification.

All customers and partners will be required to update their certification (or “recertify”) every two (2) years.
