    Frequently Asked Questions

    For Google’s Generative AI for Healthcare survey, course, and lab

    Do I have to participate in this survey to get access to the course and lab?

    Yes, you must complete the survey to access the course. After completing the survey, you will be prompted to enter your email address on the last page. The email sent from the survey platform will contain the link to access the course and lab. 

    If you choose not to share your survey answers, you can select ‘No, I do not want to participate’ on the first question. Your answers will not be included in the data, but you will still receive the access instructions once you enter your email.

    I completed the survey and did not get the access link or instructions.

    Once you complete the survey and enter your email address on the last page, you should receive an email with the links and instructions to access the Google course and lab. If you didn’t receive the email, please check your spam or junk folder. If it’s still not there, reach out to education@dimesociety.org for assistance.

    Why do I have to use an incognito window to begin the course?

    Using an incognito window is recommended to ensure that no conflicting cookies or cached data interfere with the course and lab access. This helps you start fresh and avoid issues with sign-in or registration.

    I already have a Google Cloud Account. Can I use that to access the course and lab?

    Yes, you can use your existing Google Cloud account to access the course. However, do not use your personal Google Cloud account or project when taking the lab, as this could result in unexpected charges to your account. It’s recommended to create a separate Google Cloud project for the lab or use a different environment specifically for this course. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally incur costs during the lab, especially if certain services or resources are used.

    How long does it take to complete this course?

    The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete. It is self-paced, and your progress will automatically pick up where you left off.

    How long does the lab take, and what if I need more time?

    The lab is timed for 1 hour. Once you start, it must be completed in one sitting. If you run out of time, you can use 1 credit for an additional hour of lab time. You can use as many credits as needed to extend the lab time.

    How many Google Cloud Skills Boost credits should I earn?
    • You will earn 9 Google Cloud Skills Boost credits for enrolling in the course after signing in or creating an account through the link provided after survey completion.
    • You will earn 200 Google Cloud Skills Boost credits after completing the lab with a 100% score and spending at least 6 minutes in the lab.
    How do I verify that the Google Cloud Skills Boost credits are in my account?

    To verify your Google Cloud Skills Boost credits, click on your account icon in the top right corner of the Google course page. Your earned credits will be visible there.

    What can I do with Google Cloud Skills Boost credits?

    You can use Google Cloud Skills Boost credits for various purposes, such as:

    • Accessing more Google Cloud courses (e.g., additional AI or data science certifications).
    • Exploring the Vertex AI studio capabilities in more depth to enhance your AI learning and skills.
    I’m having an issue with accessing the course or the lab. Who do I contact for help?

    If you encounter issues accessing the course or lab, please contact education@dimesociety.org for support.
