hi everyone
Currently using Tableau and want to take Looker training and certification. Any help how to get the software on my personal laptop to explore 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
