Just Announced: No-cost Learning on Google Cloud Skills Boost for Innovators

[CrystalSmith]

Hello Developers, 

Today we added a new benefit to the Google Cloud Innovators program: 35 learning credits every month on Google Cloud Skills Boost. Use these no cost credits to deepen your cloud skills through on-demand courses, hands-on labs, and skill badges on the latest Google Cloud tech like the new Develop GenAI Apps with Gemini and Streamlit.

The best part? These credits will be topped off monthly for all Innovators members, giving you ongoing no-cost access to keep learning and leveling up your cloud expertise.

How to claim your credits:

1. Become an Innovator on Cloud.google.com/innovators and access the logged in experience.
2. Log into your Google Cloud Skills Boost account, and follow the prompts to link it to your Google Developer Profile. You will see a message confirming you now have 35 credits in your account.
3. Start learning! Your credit balance will be automatically brought up to 35 each month.

Hungry for more? For unlimited access to learning, consider upgrading to Innovators Plus.

Whether you’re just starting your cloud journey or looking to deepen your expertise, this is an opportunity to build in-demand cloud skills that set you apart at no cost. Visit our updated FAQ section on the Innovators homepage to learn more. 

Happy learning

Hi. I'm google cloud innovator but the credits are not actived in my cloudskillsboost account.

[CrystalSmith]

Hi @oliverfierro77 I see that your new Innovators Plus badge has been added to your community profile (welcome to the program!) As an Innovators Plus subscriber, you actually have access to the full SB catalog as part of your subscription. If you go back to cloud.google.com/innovators, you should see a button that says "Go to benefits" at the top of the page. You'll be able to access the full subscription of SB there 🙂

Many thanks!

[Md_Saddam_Hossa]

@CrystalSmith Thank you so much.

I'm in Dimond League. I have to complete some courses, so this will help me with that.

[manuelcop]

What a great news @CrystalSmith !

I'll do my best to follow along the courses

[weerapattham]

I accidentally linked Google developer account with wrong Cloud Skills Boost account, Can I unlink it ?

[manuelcop]

I'm not 100% sure (NOT experimented personally)  but I think the following should work:

Go to your Google Developer profile 

In the "Badges" section find the "Google Cloud Skill Boost" badge and delete it by clicking on the tree dots menu at the top right of the badge itself.

Reoopening the Google Cloud Skill Boost should allow you to select the account again

[pawankg07]

thank you

very much appreciated

Hi 

I'm a Google Cloud Innovator. I have two account, one for individual, another for partner.

I've tried to redeem but at the step 2, it linked to my partner account.

I've tried to use incognito browser and sign out my partner account.

I think there is a link between my individual google developer and my partner google skill boost.

How can I edit that link to my individual google skill boost?

Thank you

Thank you, I got it 🙂

Any suggestions on what you should do if there's no prompt for linking your cloud skills boost account to your Google Developer profile? I just joined the innovators programme but I've had a cloud skills boost account for quite a while.

[DK4 · Accepted solution]

In the case if you didn't find any prompt, first sign out from your qwiklabs (skills boost) account and try with this link Cloud.google.com/innovators which will direct you to your innovator page where you will find a prompt to link developer profile to cloud skills boost.

[nkaravias]

That did the trick, thank you!

[darkdragoon]

i dont find any promt, can you guide screen by screen?

thank a lots

[darkdragoon]

for me, i need to:

1. open incognitor mode
2. sign-in http://cloud.google.com/innovators
3. then the prompt show

[DK4]

Hope you got it! Thanks for sharing

Hey there, Thanks for the information,  however I am not certain how others were successful with this, because on my side I am facing a bugging error saying "Access blocked: Qwiklabs has not completed the Google verification process,"
for some time now.

It continues "Qwiklabs has not completed the Google verification process. The app is currently being tested, and can only be accessed by developer-approved testers. If you think you should have access, contact the developer.

If you are a developer of Qwiklabs, see error details.

Error 403: access_denied"

Great News. Excited to earn new badges.

[iamnrp7]

Thanks, Google Innovators! 🙌

[jj_john]

I became a cloud innovator and linked my profile on Jun 13th. Will new credits be added on Jul 13th? I'm one credit shy of finishing a path and would rather wait than buy 5. Thanks for providing us with these credits!

[DK4]

Yeah, the credits will be added monthly 

[gunavant_0812]

• Hi. I'm google cloud innovator but the credits are not actived in my cloudskillsboost account.

[calle]

You need to wait some days. You receive a mailing list with news and the link for credit at the end.

[CrystalSmith]

Hi there, 

By chance do you still have the Google Cloud Innovator badge on your developer profile? If so, you should also receive a badge here in the community showcasing your Innovator status. You can check your developer profile by navigating here: https://developers.google.com/profile/u/me

[apo208]

That's great just received my credits! 😀

[Kamurai]
