Preparing for Looker Certification

hi everyone

Currently using Tableau and want to take Looker training and certification. Any help how to explore looker and get hands-on experience before the certification?

Thanks

Hi @mohamed-ali_shi , Looker is not a software you can download it on your computer. It’s a service either hosted in the cloud or on your own servers (self-hosted). That is the biggest downside, that nobody can really try and learn Looker before they start working with it.

Perhaps requesting a free trial on behalf of your current employer could be a way to get your hands on the platform and start working on it and learning: https://looker.com/demo/free-trial

Thanks @Dawid . Do you know if it is possible to get Looker hosted on GCP with my individual GCP account?

I am not completely sure because self-hosted licence is not free as much as I know but perhaps somebody that has done something similar might help
