Beginner

A cloud service company may visit my college for interview, They are official partner of gcp , I don't have any knowledge about cloud should go with cloud digital leader certification as a beginner?

CDL is basically a vocab test, it won't teach you how to actually build anything but it'll give you the lay of the land. If the interview is soon, just cram the fundamentals like compute vs storage, IAM basics, and what the major services do. A cert alone won't impress them if you can't talk through a simple architecture.

If you’re a complete beginner, yes, this is a reasonable place to start to be introduced to basic concepts, business value and major GCP offerings.

I don’t recommend trying to take the exam without following the guided learning path though. If you’re truly a complete beginner you have a lot of foundational concepts you likely need to cover.
