Google Cloud launches Agentic Architect certification with hands-on labs
Professional Agentic Architect combines a proctored exam with Google Skills labs; the current exam page lists English and a US$200 fee plus applicable tax.
Google Cloud announced Professional Agentic Architect certification on November 11, 2026, without an exact effective time. Assessment combines a proctored multiple-choice exam and Google Skills labs covering agent development, deployment, evaluation and governance. Successful exam candidates receive lab instructions through CM Connect.
The directly retrieved exam page lists English, two hours, 50–60 questions and a US$200 registration fee plus applicable tax. Online and onsite proctoring are offered; certification lasts one year. There are no prerequisites, but Google recommends three-plus years of cloud experience, including one-plus year building agentic solutions on Google Cloud.
GEAR separately offers 35 free monthly Google Skills learning credits; that does not make the exam free. Some search snippets still show older beta details, so check current registration terms.
Exam slots, account eligibility and local charges in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan remain unverified. No Chinese or Cantonese exam option is listed. No exam registration or product testing was performed, and no career outcome is guaranteed.
