Retired Exams

What does it mean when a Google Cloud certification is retired?

Google Cloud regularly updates its certifications to align with the latest cloud technologies and job roles. When a certification is retired, it means that Google Cloud no longer offers that specific exam.   

 

What happens to my existing certification if it gets retired?

Your existing certification will remain valid for its full duration even after the exam is retired. Your certification expiration date is listed on your Google Cloud issued certificate. You will receive all the benefits of being certified throughout your certified duration.

 

I was preparing for a certification that's now retired. What should I do?

Replacement or alternative certifications that cover a similar skill set are typically listed at the top of the retired certification’s exam page on cloud.google.com/learn/certification.
