Overview
Through our partnership with Google, all Pluralsight Skills learners with access to Google Cloud-authored courses can access the Qwiklabs included in those Google Cloud courses, regardless of subscription level.
Your Pluralsight account doesn»t have information about the Qwiklabs modules you complete. Plan admins for learners in team plans can»t see how much their learners use Qwiklabs.
These hands-on components help you apply the skills you learn in the video courses. They incorporate topics like Google Cloud Platform products, which are used and configured within Qwiklabs. You can gain practical experience with the concepts explained throughout the modules.
Courses authored by Google Cloud may contain multiple labs. See Google Cloud Embedded Labs for a list of available in-course Qwiklabs.
If you have questions about the Qwiklabs platform, please contact support@qwiklabs.com.
