This year I decided to attempt the exam for the Professional Data Engineer certificate from Google Cloud.
Let's Get Certified
Every year google lauches it's certification journey program, where it rewards with free vouchers for one of its certificate exams. You can only apply to one journey per email, and given it's a substantial amount of labs and video lectures, I suggest you attempt only one path per program.
Google opens new journey progams every 3-4 months. So there are opportunities to attempt the other certifications.
A Professional Data Engineer makes data usable and valuable for others by collecting, transforming, and publishing data.
