Train with an expert

Google for Education's Train with an Expert programme connects schools, districts, and individual educators with Google Certified Trainers and professional development partners who can provide customised, hands-on training in Google's educational technology ecosystem. Through the global EDU Directory, educators can search for certified experts in their area who offer both in-person and virtual training and support. Google Certified Trainers have completed rigorous certification that includes demonstrating expertise in Google Workspace for Education tools, Chromebook deployment, and innovative instructional practices that leverage technology to transform teaching and learning. What distinguishes this programme from self-paced online learning is the human element: certified trainers bring not only deep platform knowledge but the pedagogical understanding to help educators connect technology tools to their specific instructional goals and contexts. Whether a school needs foundational training for staff who are new to Google tools, advanced sessions on leveraging AI-powered features, or customised support for a specific initiative like going 1:1 with Chromebooks, the trainer directory makes it possible to find someone with the right expertise. For schools and districts that recognise the difference between having technology and using it effectively for learning, this programme provides the expert support to bridge that gap.
