Google Cloud Digital Leader Training

Cloud literacy for people who won't be writing the code

This beginner-level Professional Certificate from Google Cloud is explicitly exam-prep for the Cloud Digital Leader certification, and with 67,053 learners it's a more niche but focused pick than the flagship Google certificates.

What it covers

• Cloud computing and cloud infrastructure fundamentals
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and hybrid cloud models
• Digital and business transformation via the cloud
• Google Cloud Platform's core service landscape

It's aimed at a different audience than most cloud courses — not engineers who'll be provisioning infrastructure, but managers, analysts, and business stakeholders who need to speak the language of cloud strategy credibly. If your role involves making or influencing cloud-adoption decisions without doing the hands-on build work yourself, this is a more efficient use of time than an engineer-focused cloud course, and the certification target gives you a concrete finish line.
