Google Cloud opens its internal agentic training as the Professional Agentic Architect certification
rseroter · x · 2026-11-12
Google Cloud launched the Professional Agentic Architect certification under its Gemini Agent Ready (GEAR) initiative, which already has nearly one million developers. The program originated as internal training: over the past four months Google trained thousands of its own forward-deployed engineers and strategic partners on the curriculum, and is now opening it to the broader developer community.
The certification uses a hybrid format:
- Part 1: a proctored multiple-choice exam covering system design, architectural standards, cost optimization and security governance
- Part 2: hands-on labs in a live cloud environment on Google Skills, where candidates build, test and debug agentic workflows
