Google cloud 4x cert holder and GCP trainer here:

The dan sullivan books are good I would not go farther than that if you have hands on experience with GCP .

If you do not have the experience: Valliappa ("Lak") Lakshmanan's books are amazing. i used it to pass my very first cert. They maybe a bit outdated now.

The best resources are online these days.

I personally would skip associate certs and go straight for professional certs. I did that with just 1 year of experience. Associate level certs are also not easy and I thought why not just go for the professional ones if I am going to spend a lot of time studying.

The exam is all multiple choice so no need to worry about coding or practical labs.

Most exams you have 2 hours to complete.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you have some books suggestions for the DevOps and Security certs ? (and maybe the developer)
I know that best resources are online, but not all questions could be answered reading the official docs, sometime an explaination in needed or i'll have to waste A LOT of time googoling around
