What exactly do I get for CA$29?
Everything: all 7 domain guides, all 35 hands-on labs with their Jupyter notebooks, the 35-question interactive quiz, all 4 full-length mock exams, and the full 501-question bonus bank. One payment covers 6 months — there is no subscription and no automatic renewal.
Are there any hidden fees?
CA$29 is the entire price for 6 months, and nothing renews automatically. The labs run in Docker on your machine, and each notebook states its expected Google Cloud cost up front — from nothing at all up to about ten dollars, with a cleanup step at the end. That money goes to Google, in a project you own; a free-trial project covers most labs, but a few will cost you a few dollars. If it isn't right for you, email us within 7 days for a full refund. If you sit the exam within your access period and do not pass, send your official score report for the same refund. See the refund policy.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes — all seven study guides and one full lab (notebook included) are open with no account at all. A free account adds two more labs and a quiz sample.
How is this different from a video course?
It is written and maintained by a working data engineer and sold directly, so there is no marketplace cut, no video-production budget and no sales team. You get the written guides, the notebooks you actually run, and the practice questions — and the guides and the 35 notebooks are updated together.
How up to date is the content?
The guides are written against current GCP services and the notebooks are re-tested against real projects. Questions are scenario-based, mirroring the style of the real exam rather than trivia recall.
Ready when you are
Start with the free lab — no account needed, notebook included. When you want the other 34 labs, all 557 practice questions and every notebook, it is one payment of CA$29 for 6 months.
