Presented by Google for Education
Google for Education provides a comprehensive suite of tools and resources designed to help educators transform teaching and learning through technology. From Google Classroom and Google Workspace for Education to the Chromebook ecosystem, Google's education products are used by hundreds of millions of students and educators worldwide. Their Teacher Center serves as a professional learning hub where educators can build their skills and earn recognised credentials. The Google Certified Educator programme offers teachers a structured pathway to demonstrate their proficiency with Google's education tools through internationally recognised certifications. Educators can earn Level 1 certification (demonstrating foundational skills in implementing Google tools in the classroom) or Level 2 certification (showing advanced competency in integrating technology for enhanced learning outcomes). Beyond these, educators can pursue specialist credentials as a Certified Trainer, Certified Coach, Certified Innovator, or Certified GEG Leader—each designed to recognise different forms of technology leadership in education. Certifications are valid for 36 months and provide a badge that can be added to resumes, portfolios, and professional profiles. Whether you're looking to formalise your existing Google skills, become a technology trainer for your peers, or build your professional reputation as an education technology leader, these certifications provide an accessible, affordable pathway to recognised professional growth.
