Why you can trust these Google Professional Agentic Architect questions
What is the Professional Agentic Architect certification?
Professional Agentic Architect is Google Cloud’s professional-level certification for people who design agentic systems — agents that plan, call tools and act — and have to make them work in production on Google Cloud.
Google’s recommended experience is specific: three or more years of hands-on cloud work, including at least one year building agentic solutions on Google Cloud. Recommended, not enforced, but it describes the exam accurately.
Two details set this exam apart from Google’s other professional certifications, and both come straight from Google’s page. The certification is valid for one year, not the two or three years usual elsewhere in the programme. And the exam is not only multiple choice: alongside around 80 questions it includes hands-on labs in Google Skills.
One thing to check before you book anything: there is more than one agentic AI architect certification, and they are not interchangeable. Microsoft runs its own Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect exam under the code AB-100, and there are vendor-neutral options such as the ADASCI certified agentic AI system architect. This page covers the Google Cloud exam only.

Exam format, and what the hands-on part means for preparation
Google states three hours, around 80 multiple-choice questions, plus hands-on labs, in English.
The lab component is the part worth planning around. No question bank — ours or anyone else’s — can reproduce it. A practice percentage on the written portion tells you nothing about whether you can build and debug an agent under time pressure in a live console. If you are preparing for this exam, the lab work has to happen in an actual project.
Google does not publish a passing score, and does not publish how the sections are weighted against each other.

What does it cost?
As checked on 26 September 2026, Google listed the exam as a beta with registration open until 30 September, and the fee at $120 plus tax — stated on the page as a 40 per cent discount on a retail price of $200.
Both figures belong to that beta window. If you are reading this later, the status and the price are the two things to confirm on Google’s page before you plan around them; we date the statement rather than present it as permanent.
