As companies increasingly shift workloads to the public cloud, cloud computing has moved from a nice-to-have to a core competency in the enterprise. This shift requires a new set of skills to design, deploy, and manage applications in cloud computing.
As the market leader and most mature provider in the cloud computing space in China, currently offers multiple certifications divided into 4 levels: Practitioner, Associate, Professional, and Expert, covering both foundational and specialty cloud computing topics.
The Tencent Cloud Practitioner course (https://www.coursera.org/learn/tencent-cloud-practitioner) and the Tencent Cloud Solutions Architect Associate course (https://www.coursera.org/learn/tencent-cloud-solutions-architect-associate) are actually already available on Coursera for free and that learners can earn official certificates for a fee to validate their understanding of the Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate course content by taking the corresponding exams on Kryterion (https://www.webassessor.com/tencent). The rest of certifications will be available during 2021 Q4 – 2022 Q1.
Choosing the right Tencent Cloud certification: What’s the value?
Getting Tencent Cloud certified shows that you have some of the most in-demand (and profitable) skills as validated by one of the most recognizable entities in cloud computing. In the enterprise, certification demonstrates a shared understanding of a platform, a shared terminology, and a certain level of cloud expertise that can speed up time to value for cloud projects.
Importance of cloud certifications
Tencent Cloud certifications themselves stand out for their rigor and thoroughness in evaluating a candidate’s skills, with an emphasis on hands-on experience and best practices. If you’re already working with Tencent Cloud, or you have prior experience with other public cloud providers such as AWS, Alibaba, or Azure, preparing for a certification can help strengthen your knowledge by clarifying key concepts. If you’re new to Tencent Cloud, it can provide the foundational knowledge and skills you’ll need to work with Alibaba Cloud services and solutions down the road. For organizations looking for new recruits, Tencent Cloud certifications validate a candidate’s familiarity and knowledge of best practices in cloud architecture, management, and security.
