Become a GCP Data Engineer

Are you a Developer responsible for managing Big Data transformations? Do you want to become a Professional on the Google Cloud Platform? Time to gain the knowledge and skills to prepare for your Google certificate. This training prepares you to design and build data processing systems on the Google Cloud Platform. You will learn how to analyze data and carry out Machine Learning. We cover structured, unstructured, and streaming data.

Data Engineering on GCP is perfect for 

Join us if you are an experienced Developer responsible for extracting, loading, transforming, cleaning, and validating data, and designing pipelines and architectures for data processing. If you are responsible for creating and maintaining Machine Learning and statistical models, querying datasets, visualizing query results, and creating reports, you're more than welcome to join too.

Before enrolling, you need to complete the Google Cloud Fundamentals: Big Data & Machine Learning course, or have basic proficiency with: a common query language like SQL, data modeling, extracting, transforming, and loading activities, developing applications using a programming language like Python, and Machine Learning and/or statistics

What will you learn during the Data Engineering training? 

This 4-day training offers a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs. You will learn how to design data processing systems, build end-to-end data pipelines, analyze data, and carry out Machine Learning.
