FAQ

PCA questions, answered

Who is PCA for?
Architects designing GCP solutions for their organisation. Google recommends 3+ years of industry experience and 1+ year designing GCP workloads.
Do I need ACE first?
Not strictly — PCA stands alone — but ACE-level fluency in gcloud and Console is implicit. Many learners do ACE for momentum.
How does the case-study format work?
PCA includes 4 published case studies (Mountkirk, Dress4Win, EHR, TerramEarth-class). Roughly 40% of questions reference them — read them before exam day.
How long should I study?
100–150 hours over 8–12 weeks for experienced practitioners. The exam covers business AND technical reasoning, not just product knowledge.
When does this app launch?
PCA is on the StudyKits roadmap. Join the waitlist below — you will get one email when the iOS app ships.
Will explanations cover the case studies?
Yes — every case-study question references the canonical company brief and points out which constraint drove the answer.
