    Getting Started

    Signing up for your Google Cloud Skills Boost account


    1. Before you can be invited to your Google Cloud Career Launchpad group cohort, you
    will need a free Google Cloud Skills Boost account. If you don’t have an account,
    create account and fill in the required fields.

    Tip: You’ll need to sign up with the university or organization email account with which
    you’ll be invited to the program.

    2. You will automatically be sent a verification email. Click the button in the verification
    email, and you’ll be prompted to log in to Google Cloud Skills Boost.

    3. You are now signed in to Google Cloud Skills Boost.

    2
    Accept invitation and log in
    1. You will receive an email from Google Cloud Skills Boost
    (noreply@cloudskillsboost.com) notifying you that you have been invited to join a
    Google Cloud Career Launchpad cohort. The email subject will be: “Your invitation to
    join Google Cloud Career Launchpad”

    2. From that email, click “Sign In.” (If you can’t find the email you can visit this link to get to
    the same place).

    3. You’ll be redirected to the Google Cloud Skills Boost login page to sign in.

    3
    4. You are now signed in to Google Cloud Skills Boost. You will see a pop-up alerting you
    that you’ve been invited to a program. Click on “View invitation” and you will
    automatically be redirected to the Account settings page.

    5. Click on “Accept Invitation” to be added to your group.

    *Tip: If you accidentally clicked “Dismiss” on the invitation pop-up, you can still access
    the invitation. Navigate to the top right-hand corner and click on your Account Profile icon.
    Click “Settings” and then click on the “Programs” tab (located on the left side of your
    Account Settings page.)

    4
    *Tip: If you accidentally clicked “Decline invitation” on the Account Settings page,
    please contact your Group Admin (the person who sent you the initial invitation) and ask
    them to re-send the invite.

    6. You’ll now see the Google Cloud Career Launchpad program in the Programs tab
    under Settings.
    Note that you can opt to leave the program at any time by clicking the three dots and
    selecting “Leave Program.” You will no longer have access to the program or learning
    content. Your Program Administrator will need to re-invite you to gain access.

    Access & Enroll in your Learning Path(s)


    1. Once you’ve accepted the invitation, click on the “Home” button in the upper right. For
    all future visits to Google Cloud Skills Boost, you’ll be taken directly to your home page.

    2. On your welcome home page, you’ll see the following splash screen inviting you to
    learn.

    5
    3. Scroll to discover a list of Cloud Certificates and course series available. If more than
    one Learning Path is included in your program, be sure to check with your
    Administrator (i.e., your professor, instructor, or facilitator who invited you to the
    program) for guidance on which path to enroll.

    4. Select the Learning Path tile in which you’ve been instructed to enroll and click on
    “Select this path.”

    5. A confirmation pop-up message will appear congratulating you on selecting the


    learning path. Click “Get Started.” Or if you’ve already started, click “Resume learning
    path.”

    6
    Share your credentials

    Make your Google Cloud Skills Boost profile public


    Now that you’re earning Google Cloud completion badges and skill badge credentials, you’ll
    want to make your Google Cloud Skills Boost profile public. Don’t worry, you can always make it
    private again if you change your mind.
    Your program administrator (the person who invited you to the program) will be able to monitor
    progress and completions as well.

    Claim your Cloud Certificates and Skill Badge credentials on Credly


    and share on your resume & social channels
    Upon completion, claim your Google Cloud Certificate or skill badge digital badge!
    IMPORTANT: Make sure to use the same email address that you use to log into Google Cloud Skills
    Boost so that we can quickly confirm that you completed the certificate.
    Set up your Credly account to personalize your profile and consider turning on the ability to be
    contacted about job opportunities.
    Share your accomplishment with your network!
    Once claimed, you can share your digital badge on LinkedIn and other social networks to capture the
    attention of potential employers. #GoogleCloudReady, #GoogleCloudCertificate
