Registering for a Google Cloud certification exam involves a straightforward process primarily managed through Google Cloud's official website and their testing partner, Kryterion, via the Webassessor platform. Exams can be taken either at a physical test center or online with a remote proctor.
Here are the general steps to register for a Google Cloud certification exam:
1. **Visit the Google Cloud Certification Website:** Start by navigating to the official Google Cloud certification website. Here, you can explore the different certifications offered and find the specific exam you wish to take.
2. **Select Your Exam and Register:** Once you've chosen your exam, locate the registration link, typically found on the exam's dedicated page. Clicking 'Register' will usually redirect you to the candidate management portal, CM Connect.
3. **Login or Create a CM Connect Account:** If you already have a CM Connect account, log in. If not, you will need to follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account. Ensure that the legal first and last name in your account exactly matches the name on the government-issued photo ID you plan to use for verification on exam day. Mismatches can result in being denied from taking the exam and forfeiture of your exam fee.
4. **Access Webassessor:** From your CM Connect dashboard, you will typically find an option to 'Schedule / Launch an Exam', which will take you to the Webassessor platform, managed by Kryterion.
5. **Select Exam and Delivery Method:** Within the Webassessor catalog, select the specific Google Cloud exam you intend to take. You will then choose your preferred exam delivery method: either remotely proctored online or at an available physical testing center.
6. **Choose Date, Time, and Location:** Select a convenient date and time for your exam. If you chose a testing center, you will also need to select a location. Review the available slots and make your selection.
7. **Confirm Payment:** Complete the payment process for the exam fee. The cost varies depending on the certification level (e.g., Foundational, Associate, Professional).
8. **Receive Confirmation:** After successful registration and payment, Kryterion will send you a confirmation email. This email will contain important details, including a unique Test Taker Authorization Code, which is required to launch your exam, especially if you are taking it at a testing center.
It's highly recommended to review the testing requirements for online proctored exams or the specific rules of your chosen testing center well in advance. Also, familiarize yourself with the retake policy and any waiting periods between exam attempts. By following these steps, you can successfully register and schedule your Google Cloud certification exam.
