What is the google labs credit

[favthor]

I want to know about the credits that we need to do the labs and share with others to do the labs. When doing the google arcade program we can request them. But I wantto know how to generate those credits who is share with others.

Qwiklabs credits give you access to the lab or quest in which you registered. Each credit costs approximately $1 USD and the costs of labs and quests vary depending on difficulty. 

You cannot generate credits only program managers can generate so you need to contact them for credits like if you join in arcade facilitator program your facilitators will be providing credits

Hello @favthor 

Credits cannot be generated automatically. It costs $ 1 per credit, in case of bulk purchases the prices may be a bit lower. There are also monthly and yearly subscriptions which allows you to perform unlimited labs for the time period without need for credits.

However, credits can be earned for free. You can be a member of the Google Cloud Innovators program to earn monthly credits. Also, subscribe to the Cloud Skills Boost Arcade to get the monthly Arcade Insider mail, where there might be a redeem code (not always) using which you might get about 100 credits.

For college students, the 'Google Cloud Study Jam' events allow them a monthly subscription in order to complete the event. There are many more similar events for all to participate, like the Arcade Facilitators' Program, which might offer credits for free (if you're lucky)
Lastly, you can ask for credits here in the community. There is always someone generous to offer their extra credits.
