The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

A practical exam measuring a teacher's ability to use Google's education tools, from virtual classrooms to shared documents, forms and slides, in realistic classroom scenarios rather than theory questions alone. Level 1 covers basic use and Level 2 wider and deeper use.

Who it suits

Teachers, faculty members and trainers in institutions that use Google's education tools.

What it requires

No formal prerequisite; Level 2 assumes command of Level 1.

How it is earned

Register from the Learning Center on Google's education site and take the exam online with a proctor; the preparation material is free on the same site.
