Learning Outcomes
What you'll learn
The day after you finish
The day after completing this course, Maya Patel can open her scored 60-question mock exam result, identify that she dropped 70% of marks in the DR and Anthos domains, pull the 3 ADR templates she completed during the course, and run a 90-minute targeted practice session on only those domain question sets — walking into the real PCA exam 14 days later with a calibrated, evidence-based confidence level rather than a guess.
Who this is for
- Primary: Senior Cloud Architect or Solutions Engineer with 4+ years daily GCP experience who manages multi-project GCP estates and needs to pass the PCA exam under a hard business deadline
- Secondary: Cloud Platform Engineer transitioning into an architecture role who has deployed GCP services in production but lacks systematic exam-domain coverage
- Tertiary: Engineering Managers sponsoring their team's GCP Advanced Partner renewal who need to understand the exam's difficulty layer and set realistic prep expectations
Prerequisites
- Daily working knowledge of GCP core services: Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Spanner, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, VPC networking, IAM, and Cloud Interconnect — assumed deployed in production, not just read about
- Ability to read and write Terraform HCL at the resource-block level (google_container_cluster, google_spanner_instance, google_compute_network) — the course uses Terraform 1.9 patterns without explaining HCL syntax
- Familiarity with PCI-DSS scope concepts (cardholder data environment, network segmentation, audit logging) — the course applies these constraints without defining them

Capstone Project
Full PCA Mock Exam: Scored Domain Analysis and Personalised 2-Week Study Plan
A 60-question timed mock exam (120 minutes, matching real exam conditions) calibrated to the PCA 2024 exam guide v2.0 domain weightings, followed by a structured scoring session using the provided domain rubric, producing a prioritised gap analysis and an executable 2-week study plan with domain-specific practice question sets — all grounded in the Acme Financial Services scenario context so the questions feel like real work, not abstract drills
What you'll deliver
A scored mock exam result with domain-by-domain percentage breakdown, a written gap analysis naming the 3–4 weakest domains with specific question evidence and distractor reasoning, a completed set of 3 ADRs from modules 3–5 ready to commit to a team wiki, and a 2-week study calendar with daily domain targets and practice question counts
