questions

Before you start GCP Pro DevOps

Is this course current for the GCP Pro DevOps exam?

It follows the current GCP Pro DevOps exam guide — all 5 exam domains, with the weights shown on this page, and was last updated May 2026.

How do I book the GCP Pro DevOps exam, and what does it cost?

You book it directly with Google Cloud. The official exam page lists the current fee, format, length and passing score, which can vary by country.

Is this an exam dump?

No. The lessons and quiz questions are written to teach the exam objectives, and every answer comes with an explanation. Real exam questions (“dumps”) break the exam provider’s candidate agreement and can cost you the certification.

What do I need for the hands-on walkthroughs?

A Google Cloud project with billing enabled — the free trial credit covers most walkthroughs. Delete what you create when you finish so you don’t keep paying.

How long does it take?

About 12 hours of lessons, videos and hands-on walkthroughs across 6 modules, plus a 50-question practice exam.

What’s free?

Module 1 in full — lessons, hands-on walkthrough and quiz — with no card required. Any paid plan (from $8.99/mo) unlocks all 6 modules and the practice exam, and starts with a 14-day free trial.
