I have query about Google cloud skill boost

[Akhilesh2324]

Hi,

Myself Akhilesh i'm a fresher(STUDENT) in this field...i wanna know Whether all the labs are free in google cloud skill boost...For example when i try to complete Google Cloud Computing Foundations Certificate,  i was able to accsess the first hands-on lab for free..later after completing that when i went to next module (which is based on creating Virtual machine)//it was asking for credit tokens...

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO KINDLY HELP ME OUT

All the labs are free if you have Credits or Monthly Subscription of GCSB. Try to do skill badges, game badges and trivia badges instead of any Certificate or Course listed on the GCSB portal so that you get the arcade points which will be used to redeem the swags in December Prize Counter.

Even i can use GCP first 30days free trial na?(i haven't used it yet)

Hey! As they guide you on the other answer, labs will require credits or Subscriptions 
Regarding the other topic, Yes! You have 300 USD to use on GCP for 90 days as a new customer and certain resources which will stay in the free tier for you even after you ran out of the voucher mon..., take in consideration this resources have certain criteria and quotas to consider

Enjoy your learning!

Both GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and Qwiklabs offer 30-day trials, but they
cater to different needs. GCP provides a free trial that allows you to
explore its services and host your personal projects, applications, or
websites.

Qwiklabs, on the other hand, focuses on learning. If you're subscribed to
Arcade, Qwiklabs offers free credits specifically for educational purposes,
enabling you to gain hands-on experience with cloud technologies without
any cost. However, these credits are meant for learning, and you cannot use
Qwiklabs to host your app or website.

Now its clear....But by using GCP free trial can we get certifications from google skill cloud boost?
