Proposal Deadline:
Event Details: Our one or two day Google Education Certification courses help prepare you to complete the certification process which is comprised of hands on training & a performance based exam. Both one and two day courses offer preparation training with the two day option providing more time for hands on activities and time to take the exam in the afternoon of Day 2.
Our courses are fun, engaging and educational and the first and most important thing to stress is not to be scared of the tests. We will help you prepare for success!
What is the format of the certification process and our 'preparation 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 complete the certification process this 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. Many of participants leave and share with our new PLN that they have successfully completed one or more of the exams. It is important, however, that you prepare adequately and make sure you have reviewed all of the training materials. The Pre~certification boot camps are not an introduction to Google Apps for Education. It is expected that attendees have baseline working knowledge of at least gMail, Google Drive, and the Chrome browser.
