Currently, I am in the process of applying for Google Certified Trainer. There are many requirements that are needed to be completed, such as :
- Google Educator Status by passing 5 exams. You must pass all 5 Qualification Exams, which can be found at the Google Training Site. The certificate must be uploaded when submitting the application.
- Case Study with training resources and experiences
- 2 Minute Video showcasing your training skills. The video must be public and published to YouTube.
- Record of training experiences or sessions
- Resume
- 3 References from those you have trained
- Links to your site(s), blog(s), social media, etc.
My perspective on being a Google Certified Trainer:
I am hopeful that I will meet all of the requirements to obtain this status. I am very eager to become a Google Certified Trainer. I would like to be a Google Certified Trainer because teaching is my passion, especially technology. I love teaching students, staff, and people of all ages! I am proud of my students and staff when I witness them implementing and using a Google app or concept that I taught them. I want to share my experiences, and enthusiasm with everyone and I want people to realize that Google is not just a search engine. In addition, I feel I can be an asset to the Google community by sharing and expressing my experiences. However, in order for me to be the best I can be, it is important for me to be a student of the Google community as well, and learn from other trainers and their experiences.
I recently submitted my application and I hope to hear an answer if I was accepted by the end of May. Being hopeful and positive.
