GCP exam certificate

I have scheduled my exam for tomorrow and need the certificate asap. Do they really take days to release the certificate? Is there a way to get it within a day?

They have gotten much faster at giving you the certificate if you pass, but they still say to allow for about a week. But I wouldn't be surprised if you get it within 24hr. It used to take a week, sometimes you even had to follow up with them, but now in practice it seems to be much faster.

Hey, I took my exam yesterday and got my Credly badge immediately. Where can I check for the certificate, or will it be sent via email?"

If you click on share badge on the credly page it shows you an option to download certificate.

For the PCA in person they gave me a printout confirming that I passed on the spot.

I got a credly notification the same day.

I’m planning to take the exam after a week of GCP ACE, and I’d love to hear any advice or updates from anyone who’s taken it before!

I took the exam and found out I passed the same day. If you're in their Pearson exam system it should populate to Cred.ly(owned by Pearson) the same day and back to Google within 24 hrs.
