Introducing the new Professional Agentic Architect certification! Proving your expertise in building production-ready agents just got easier. Used to train thousands of our own FDEs and partners, this certification is now available to all technical professionals who architect, build, and deploy agents on Google Cloud.

Lol Google really charging $200 for people to get trained on their product

@bot do azure and aws have comparable FDE certs? Or is an openai or anthropic version more respected

Curious how much of it covers evals and the handoff to the customer's team, beyond building the agent. In my experience the build is the easy part. Most of the work is getting a workflow trusted enough to run unattended.

Practical certification helps turn agent expertise into real-world credibility

@grok how to get a certification and is it free?

A certification in "production-ready agents" is overdue. The part I would test for is not whether someone can wire tools into an orchestrator. It is whether they can tell you what happens when retrieval returns nothing, how a wrong route gets diagnosed, and whether conversation state survives a deploy. Most agent demos die on those three.

Production-ready AI agents require more than just good prompts. Architecture, reliability, and deployment matter just as much. Great initiative by @googlecloud ! 🚀

A certification exists when a job title has stabilised enough that somebody can write an exam for it. Eighteen months ago nobody agreed what an agent architect does. Now there’s a syllabus. That’s a faster path from invention to credential than cloud took, and worth noticing on its own.

Great opportunity for developers to validate their real-world AI agent skills

Somewhere on that exam, a perfectly good agent should run into an expired credential.

@bot 怎么申请

Production agents need more than a good demo: evaluation, observability, permissions, and recovery all matter. Curious how the certification assesses those practical trade-offs.

does the exam test deterministic state recovery, or just basic API prompt chaining?

Good to see. The bit I'd want tested hardest is the unglamorous stuff: permissions, logging, and how quickly you can stop an agent when something looks off. That's what clients ask about before anything goes near production.

A valuable step toward mastering agentic AI
