Google Cloud Security Engineer Program

The program comprises of seven purposely designed courses that take you on a carefully defined learning journey. If you are thinking about taking the course separately, it is worth noting that it is part of the Google Cloud Security Engineer Program. So, you may want to consider enrolling for this program rather than just enrolling for one course at a time.

It is a self-paced program, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules or submitting assignments. It is anticipated that it will take about 41 hours to complete. However, as long as the program is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community and mentors through the course discussion space.

The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include reading material, hands-on labs, and online exams questions.

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your Certificate of Completion.
