Preparing for Looker Certification

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
