Re: Google clod skills boost lab tokens?

Iyerrams

I am trying to do lab with Google clod skills boost, but I do not have tokens. How/where do I get them?

Youtube video shows some chat option, but I am not able to get that.

Thanks for your guidance.

You can enroll for Arcade (Jan to June 25 season)

Note: Only Arcade Facilitator program closed.

Go to https://go.cloudskillsboost.google/arcade

click on "Subscribe here" . this will lead to Google Cloud Arcade Program Subscription Form

Provide gmail id (if you previously used same mail id and have lots of badges, then create new gmail id and provide the same) and rest of info, start immediately as you can still do Base camp, L1,L2,L3, Trivia (Wk1,2,3,4) , cert zone , few skill badges and next month arcades, more skill badges.

Please note for Base camp, L1,L2,L3, Trivia (Wk1,2,3,4) , cert zone, special monthly game you do not need any credits.

Only for Skill badges you require credits. you can register for Innovator program (https://cloud.google.com/innovators) , which will give you 35 credits (monthly)

Hi,

I am not sure , how do I resolve the posted issue by enrolling to arcade? I already enrolled in Innovator program.

I am looking to get Token or alternate to do my labs in cloud pathway. Are there any support chat to get answers , when we stuck with Google cloud programs ?

Thanks .

If you subscribe to arcade and do arcade games, along with insider mail(google sends mail in 2nd week of every month) you will get 100 credits code.

Note: Please note for Base camp, L1,L2,L3, Trivia (Wk1,2,3,4) , cert zone, special monthly game you do not need any credits . they are free .

If you are planning for specific learning path, you can put a post in community mentioning for which labs you require credits and how many credits required. Whoever has extra credits , they will share with you.

Important note: Never mention mail id in posts. mail is PII and it's removed automatically by moderators.

Always DM person who is ready to share. you can do it by clicking his name, you will DM option.

Keep learning, all the best.

Today!)

Hi Iyerrams,

Hope you're doing well!

I saw you might be needing credits or tokens to complete the labs in Google
Cloud Skills Boost.

I have access to a shared group that still has valid credits available, but
they expire TODAY, April 25, 2025!

If you can send me the email address you use for your Google Cloud Skills
Boost account as soon as possible, I can quickly send you the invitation to
the group so you can use the credits before they are gone.

Just reply to this message with your email address for the invite.

Let's make sure you can take advantage of this before it's too late!

Best, Alik Darley Google Cloud Certified Legacy

As you said, you are already registered with Innovattor, so every month you will receive 35 credits.

When you try to start a lab, you have the option to start it using credits or tokens. Click on Launch with X Credit (which can cost 0 or more credits. I have seen some that cost 7).

The Labs that appear in the Arcade do not cost any credits, so you can do them for free. In addition, you can receive bonus credits to be able to do the labs that are not in the arcade.

Another option is to buy extra credits or subscribe to one of the plans offered.

About tokens, I don't know how to get them, they are probably made available in some specific events, but you can do the labs with just credits.

Important! Each time you start a lab you will spend credits, that is, if you try a lab once and fail, to do it again you will need to "pay" again.

Thanks . I am not seeing the 35 credits for joining Innovattor . I see the following

Thanks for weighing in.

I find google cloud lab sessions are crashing recently after consuming the lab credit. How do I avoid such crashing?

Are there any way to reclaim lost credits ?

Thanks for your guidance.

Hi

Are there any specific browser to use? I see the layout shown in the lesson looks different from current one I am using .

Thanks .
