From the course: "The best way to prepare for the exam is to be competent in the skills required of the job." This course uses a top-down approach to recognize knowledge and skills already known, and to surface information and skill areas for additional preparation. You can use this course to help create your own custom preparation plan. It helps you distinguish what you know from what you don't know. And it helps you develop and practice skills required of practitioners who perform this job. The course follows the organization of the Exam Guide outline, presenting highest-level concepts, "touchstones", for you to determine whether you feel confident about your knowledge of that area and its dependent concepts, or if you want more study. You also will learn about and have the opportunity to practice key job skills, including cognitive skills such as case analysis, identifying technical watchpoints, and developing proposed solutions. These are job skills that are also exam skills. You will also test your basic abilities with Activity Tracking Challenge Labs. And you will have many sample questions similar to those on the exam, including solutions. The end of the course contains an ungraded practice exam quiz, followed by a graded practice exam quiz that simulates the exam-taking experience.

Hi, welcome to this course, Preparing for the Professional Cloud Architect Exam.
I'm a technical curriculum developer with Google, my name is Tom Stern.
The place where certification and training intersect is at the job itself.
The certification exam is designed to evaluate whether you have the skills and
knowledge expected of someone in a role of a cloud architect.
Therefore, the best way to prepare for the exam is to be a confident,
professional cloud architect.
The approach in this course is to review many items that a cloud architect should
know because that information could be on the exam.
So this course focuses on the skills you need to know for the job.
Being prepared to be a professional cloud architect
is the best way to be prepared for the exam.
If you go to cloud.google.com/certification,
you'll see a list of our professional certifications.
And if you click on cloud architect, you'll see several valuable resources.
The most important one is a certification exam guide.
It's a list of all the areas covered in the exam.
The tips section of this course are organized around
Cloud Architect Exam Guide Outline.
The outline divides the exam into sections that focus on specific priorities and
information about the job role.
So this course follows the outline, explaining each section of the course,
providing tips, and highlighting information that would be useful to know.
Some items in the outline are important to the job of a professional cloud architect,
but they're not technical or maybe they're not specific to Google.
For example, a cloud architect needs to know how to present
solution proposals to customers and to communicate with executive staff.
That isn't something we currently teach, but you should know it from experience or
learn it on your own.
I'll identify these items when they appear on the outline.
These are the sections of the exam.
The first part of the exam about design and the second part about provisioning
are more inclined towards product and feature knowledge and basic design.
Where and how to use each product in specific cases.
The middle two parts on security and
optimizing are about getting specific qualities into the solution.
For example, in the first two parts, you might make something function,
in the second two parts, you might make it secure and cost-effective.
The last two parts are about operating the solution and all the procedures and
features that can make the solution continue to operate reliably and
to adopt and to change overtime.
Notice the gradation between products and procedures.
Have you heard of the the four P's?
That's product, people, policy, and process.
The cloud architect exam is not all about product.
People sometimes go into the exam expecting only questions about product,
like how to do a particular thing or why a capability is useful.
You should understand that the questions on the exam
can be about the other three P's as well.
There's a lot of ground to cover today.
You'll begin by learning what the certification is about,
where it's positioned relative to other certifications, and more specifically,
how it's designed relative to your job role and experience in the industry.
Next, you'll explore the sample case studies, provided to help prepare for
the exam.
These case studies are also available on the cloud.google.com/certification site.
Some of the questions on the exam can key to these case studies.
If you've read and
studied them in advanced, you'll already be familiar with them.
And that means you'll effectively have more time to answer questions
during the exam.
Most of these case studies focus on business requirements,
as well as technical requirements.
The business requirements are just as important as the technical requirements to
passing the exam.
You'll spend most of the day reviewing and
getting preparation tips in specific subject areas.
And at the end, you'll get pointers to resources and
next steps to continue your preparation.
I think it seems pretty obvious from this list, but it should be called out that you
can't learn everything you need to know for the certification exam in one class.
So the goal here is to help you prepare, but
you won't be able to pass the exam based only on attending this course.
By the end of this class, if you've already been preparing for
the examination, you'll have a good sense of what else you need to study or
do to prepare or whether you're ready to give it a shot.
