To receive a Google Cloud certification you need to pass a Google Cloud certification exam which must be taken in-person at an official testing center. More information available here: https://cloud.google.com/certification/
I’ve passed all the Coursera courses for the Data Engineering on Google Cloud Platform Specialization. Will I be able to pass the Google Certified Professional Data Engineer certification exam?
Taking courses is a great way to familiarize yourself with the various components of Google Cloud Platform; however, actual real-world, hands-on experience is the best preparation for certification. Combine these courses and work experience and you are on your way to certification.
