Google Certified Educator

Certification Options

Level 1

Level 1 certification is best suited for teachers who are very new to Google tools. Learn the basics of calendar, docs, sheets, slides, and classroom. Each year, we offer a series of 4 sessions you can complete asynchronously or in live sessions. Participants who complete all four sessions are eligible for a test voucher to cover the 10.00 certification exam fee. Emails regarding the live sessions will be sent out as they occur.

Asynchronous Certification

The asynchronous certification option will provide 5 hours of PD credit. You will complete 4 Peardeck modules below, and then notify Brittany Cox. She will provide a test voucher code and appropriate PD certificates. Vouchers are purchased in bulk once each Spring, so you there may be a delay between completion of your courses and issuance of your voucher.

Thanks for upping your Google expertise!

You must complete the Google Form for each session in order to earn PD credit.

Level 2

We also have a few test vouchers available for level 2 certification.  If you are interested in leveling up your tech skills beyond the basics this opportunity may be for you!

Participants who complete this asynchronous certification opportunity will receive a total of 10 hours of PD.  To be eligible for our level 2 vouchers please document your work on the following work record.

Please note that the work record has multiple tabs that must be completed.

Once you complete your work record share the file with Ashley Smith with a message requesting a test voucher.
