The Google Educator Certifications showcase your knowledge and application of innovative tools and techniques to engage learners and promote a 21st-century collaborative learning environment. Educators that use Google Apps for Education have a strong collaborative network where knowledge is shared, problems are solved and successes are celebrated together. Becoming a Certified Educator gives you recognition for your hard work and expertise. The training and exams are performance-based that focus on real-world classroom application.
This is great preparation for further certification opportunities. Google Certified Innovators lead change in their communities and Google Certified Trainers lead training and professional development worldwide. Each certification has its own set of requirements and benefits. This course will cover each of these so participants can purposefully select the best path and objectives to meet their needs.

We will help you prepare for success!
What is the format of this certification training?
Based on numerous successful engagements running the certification course with schools and colleges worldwide we have developed what we feel is the optimum process to help get candidates through the certification process quickly and successfully.
Setting expectations
In terms of the time needed to successfully achieve the certification will vary from individual to individual. Our goal is that you be prepared to begin your exams by the end of the course day and pass them. It is important, however, that you prepare adequately and make sure that you know how to navigate G Suite at a basic level as the bootcamp is not a ‘beginners workshop.’
