I've recently passed the Generative AI Leader from Google Cloud and here's what I think is the easiest way to obtain the certification.
First of all, I think that the Gen AI Leader is a very good certification for everybody interested in the topic of Generative AI. If you've already had a chance to play with Gemini, Nano Banana or other Google's tools, and want to find a practical implementation for that new technology in your daily work, that exam is for you.
In my opinion, you just need two things to pass it:
- be familiar with Google's Gen AI tools
- do a quick course on Gen AI from Google's Skills platform
Be familiar with Google's Gen AI tools
A lot of questions on the exam will test your knowledge of Google's product palette in the Gen AI realm. Therefore, it is a good idea to get familiar with them beforehand. Try Gemini, Nano Banana or just experiment with Google's AI Studio.
Check the different options available in those tools, especially in AI Studio's Playground. Test the different models, tools and advanced settings and understand what they do.

Do a quick course on Gen AI from Google's Skills platform
Besides practical knowledge it is good to know the basics of how Gen AI works. Google released an excellent set of online courses that present Gen AI in a nutshell. Some of the concepts will sound familiar if you've already played with AI tools, and the rest will be a good supplement, filling up the knowledge gaps.
Each part of the learning path concludes with a one-pager with the most important topics. This is very handy, but in my opinion it is a good idea to browse through the course after completion to look for some keywords that were not included in the one-pagers.

By following those 2 simple steps, you will increase your chances of passing the Generative AI Leader exam significantly. Good luck!
