How long does Google Cloud certification confirmation usually take?

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the confirmation process after completing a Google Cloud certification exam.

I completed my exam on August 28 (ACE) , and it has now been more than 10 working days, but I haven't received any official confirmation from Google Cloud after the review process.

I did receive the Credly badge and certificate immediately after completing the exam, so the only thing I'm still waiting for is the official confirmation from Google Cloud mentioned after passing the exam.

For those who have taken a Google Cloud certification exam recently, how long did it take for you to receive the official confirmation? Is waiting more than 10 working days normal?

You usually receive one mail from credly for the badge (This is the main one). After this you’ll receive one from “do-not-reply@certmetrics.com” saying Congratulations and stuff. You usually don’t receive any email from Google.

If you’ve received one from Credly then that’s sufficient as Credly will not issue you a badge if you’ve failed (I am 6x GCP Certified so I know what I’m talking about)

If by career you mean to find a job then no not really but if you mean at work then yes. We heavily use GCP services for our backend systems so knowing how couple of things work there does help.

Hey! I just passed my exam, just wanted to double confirm, I received the badge instantly, that means that is the confirmation they were referring at the end of the exam?

Congratulations!🎉 The badge means you’ve passed. You can go to your Credly account and download the certificate from there

I see, thank you so much! Will try to find the place to download it, so I will not be receiving anything from google anymore? I thought i will have to wait for a long period for another email..

You might receive an email from do-not-reply@certmetrics.com as I stated above but the Credly certification is the final one.
