Google Cloud and GCP Certification Training in Australia

Google Cloud and GCP courses teach cloud services, deployment, security, data, and administration skills for scalable platforms, business systems, and daily operations.

The Google Cloud Certification Pathway

Google Cloud certifications run across foundational, associate and professional levels, so you can start at the right point for your experience.

Associate Cloud Engineer

The Associate Cloud Engineer is the core starting certification. It covers setting up a cloud environment, and planning, configuring, deploying and operating solutions on Google Cloud. Google recommends around six months of hands on experience, and this is the certification most people aiming at a GCP role begin with.

Professional Cloud Architect

The Professional Cloud Architect, based on Architecting with Google Cloud Platform Infrastructure, covers designing and deploying scalable solutions across GCP, including identity and access management, storage, resource management and application infrastructure. It suits people designing cloud solutions, and Google recommends around two years of experience for the professional level.

Professional Data Engineer

The Professional Data Engineer covers designing and building data processing systems on Google Cloud, including data pipelines, storage choices, and tools such as BigQuery, Dataflow and Pub/Sub. It suits people working with data and analytics who want to specialise on GCP.

Google Cloud Courses Online and Across Australia

You can study Google Cloud with Logitrain in the classroom in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and Hobart, live online in real time from anywhere in Australia, or in house with your team. Live online students join the same class as the room and work through the GCP labs in real time, rather than watching a recording. Classes run full time over consecutive days, or part time to fit around your job. Whichever way you choose, the trainer, the hands on labs and the official exam are the same.

Which Google Cloud Course Should You Start With

For most people the starting point is the Associate Cloud Engineer, which gives you the core GCP skills the professional certifications build on. If you already have cloud experience and a clear specialisation, you may move to the Professional Cloud Architect for solution design, or the Professional Data Engineer for data and analytics. If you are completely new to the cloud, our team can suggest the right foundation first. Tell us your background and your goal, and we will point you to the right course.

Google Cloud Careers in Australia

Cloud skills are among the most in demand in the Australian IT job market, and Google Cloud sits alongside AWS and Azure as one of the platforms employers ask for. GCP certified professionals work as cloud engineers, cloud architects, data engineers and DevOps engineers across technology, banking, government and beyond. Because many organisations run more than one cloud, Google Cloud skills complement rather than replace AWS and Azure. If you want to broaden across platforms, see our AWS courses, our Microsoft and Azure courses, and our cloud computing courses, and if your goal is to move into the field, our Cloud Computing Job Ready Program adds training, certifications and local work experience.

What is the difference between Google Cloud and GCP?

They are the same thing. GCP stands for Google Cloud Platform, the cloud service from Google, and people use Google Cloud and GCP interchangeably.

Which Google Cloud certification should I start with?

For most people the Associate Cloud Engineer is the starting point, since it covers the core GCP skills the professional certifications build on. From there you can specialise as a Cloud Architect or a Data Engineer.

All three are major cloud platforms with similar core services. AWS has the largest market share, Azure is strong in organisations using Microsoft, and Google Cloud is well regarded for data, analytics and machine learning. Many organisations use more than one, so the skills complement each other.
