All right afternoon everyone welcome to this breakout session on leveling up with Google certifications. So you just want to say thanks for watching. And hopefully we can give you some great information during this breakout session.
A couple of things just to take note of as we get started. There is a question and answer page that you can ask any of your questions in and I will answer those at the end. So feel free to ask a question any time and we’ll get to those towards the end. If I get to answer it live on the call I will answer it via a message on the same page.
When we’re doing anything live online, sometimes the quality can be a little bit varied based on where you are and your bandwidth and so on. So there is a cog right down in the bottom right hand corner. And if you click on that you can change the quality of the broadcast so you can take that up or down accordingly. So feel free to use that if you need to.
Right at the end of the session I’m going to give you some resources including a link to receive some vouchers for the certification exams at a discounted price. So make sure you stick around and to be out to pick up those vouchers available right throughout December. So I know it’s a crazy time of year right now but you might find a bit of time at the end of the year just to sit down and have a look at the education center and then have a go at one of the exams.
Now in session today, what I’m going to do is just take you through a bit of a certification pathway and show you some of the resources how it works just to give you a bit of context in orientation and that we should point you in the right direction so that you can get started or continue on your journey.
I’m just going to share my screen right now and then we’ll continue the conversation. So without certification pathway there is a number of courses or levels that you’re able to take in so we start off with Google Level 1. Then we can progress on to level 2, then we can progress to the certified Trainer. And then lastly we have the certified innovator.
When you work your way through these lessons, basically you can get one of the badges that you can see on the bottom here. And you can use that on your resume in your email signature, different places where people like to put those.
So I encourage you to think about that in terms of, not so much a micro credentialing course, where it’s really short and sharp . There is a fair few lessons involved in each of these levels but you can progress at your own pace which is which is fantastic.
All right. So you might be interested to know that there have been over 40,000 teachers have been through the certification process and that means that they’ve gone through the training centre at least at some level,
