How to get GCP credential for partner program?

[Xolex]

Hi everyone,

My company is signing up to become a Google Cloud partner SELL/SERVICE. The Google Partner team requires the company to have at least 2 GCP technical credentials. But I cannot find out any GCP credentials to take exams, I only see the professional certificates. Please help to let me know what GCP technical credential I should do to meet the requirement!!!

Many thanks

Xolex

Hi @Xolex 

Nice to meet you.

You can contact the support area and they will be able to give you precise information about the requirements.     Contact Support 

But, I think that the certifications they refer to are at the level of

1 . Fundamental    Cloud digital leader 

2.  Associate    Cloud Engineer

Hi Richard, nice to meet you too

Thanks for your advise, I think that credential is something different than certificate. So Im not sure whether associate cert is possible

Hello Richard,

There are different types of partnerships and I'm not sure which one your company is aiming to obtain. If your company is trying to become a Google Cloud Reseller, then they must have in the company 2 technical + 2 sales credentials. The list of Technical Credentials is the following:

Associate Cloud Engineer Certification

Professional Cloud Architect Certification

Professional Cloud Developer Certification

Professional Cloud Network Engineer Certification

Professional Cloud Security Engineer Certification

Professional Data Engineer Certification

Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer

Professional Collaboration Engineer Certification

Google Cloud Certified Fellow: Hybrid Multi-Cloud

Maps Technical Credential

Chrome Enterprise and SMB Deployment Credential

Google Education Deployment Credential

Hope this helps.

To become a Google Cloud Partner Reseller you'll need, as I mentioned, the 2 technical credentials and also 2 sales credentials. And which Sales Credentials we accept for the Partner program? The answer is, again, the following list:

Google Workspace
Google Workspace Sales Credential
Google Cloud Sales Credential

Google Cloud
Google Cloud Sales Credential

Google Maps Platform
Google Maps Platform Sales Credential
Google Cloud Sales Credential

Chrome Enterprise
Chrome Enterprise Sales Credential

Hope this helps.

Hi @Teresa_Pato 

Can you please let me know if there is any pre-requisite fee or yearly charge for google cloud partnership(service type).

[brhsanti]

Hi @Teresa_Pato . I'm trying to access those Google Credential links, but it seems that I need a Google University Account to access it. How can I get this account, please? Thank you!

Hello @Teresa_Pato .
Is there any possibility to move from one company to another with these credentials? Or maybe it is assigned only to company and I will have to pass exams again once I change my employer?

Hi,

My company wants to get Google Cloud  Partnership registration with Workspace. Above details I would have read already for the certification side. 

Let me give you one scenario:

> 1st I have taken 2 technical + 2 Sales credentials

    ( Associate Cloud Engineer Certification, Professional Cloud Architect Certification)

    (Google Workspace: Google Workspace Sales Credentials, Google Cloud Sales Credentials)

My question is what  size of the project is required, which tier level provide ( ex: gold or silver), How much cost will be applied.?

Regards,

Jineesh

How do I add my new team's credential/certification to my company's Google partner account?

[maneetgoyal]

Is Associate Cloud Engineer certification still accepted for Service Partner Authorization? Not seeing it in the Partner Portal Console.

[Teresa_Pato]

Hope this can help but let me know if you're unable to read the slide

Hi @Teresa_Pato !

Could you explain why the Security Engineer Certification is marked as "Recommended"? 

Thanks!

Hi,

I am exploring the requirements for registering as a partner under the Google Cloud Partner Advantage program and would like clarification regarding the technical credentials and certifications. Specifically, is it mandatory to complete all the required certifications, or are there any options to exclude certain tests?

If there is flexibility in this regard or alternative pathways, I would appreciate it if you could share the details or direct me to the relevant resources.
