Using Google Cloud credits for GCP Qwiklabs Labs

[RiddhiDP]

Hello folks,

i am trying to resolve a mystery here and have tried reaching out to multiple support center for GCP but cant find much.

is there a way i can use my Google Cloud Console credits for training labs under Google Qwiklabs?

Please let me know how do i do it?
I have $300 credits in my GCP console but it shows me as $0 credits in Qwiklabs.

You cannot use $300 credits for qwiklabs ..you can use those credits for
personal projects on gcp...

Both credits are different.

SO do i need to buy additional credits for Qwiklabs? is there a way to get free student credits somehow?

[Abhishek213]

Yes but don't buy it qwiklabs offers free credits from time to time.
Just keep an eye on qwiklabs medium page
https://qwiklabs.medium.com/

[RiddhiDP]

Are the credits offered on the Medium platform enough for the entire 6 courses in the data analyst path?

[Abhishek213]

Data analyst path is free u need credits for labs
You can request credits from the organiser of the evnt

[RiddhiDP]

And how do we do that? 

By organizer of events you mean Medium platform?

[Abhishek213]
