An Outline of Google's Certification Program

Whether you're looking for a way to bulk up your resume or you're hoping to gain more expertise with internet marketing, the Google Advertising professional exam might be for you. This certification ensures that you have a good knowledge of Google AdWords and it will put you one step closer to being a qualified Google advertising professional. With a little bit knowledge under your belt, you can figure out if the Google certification exam is something for you.

Essentially, what this certification will cover is the concept of keywords. You'll be asked to judge the validity of key word strings and to judge what makes for valid search engine optimization. Google does provide you with tools towards learning about these concepts at their Learning Center, which is your prime resource upon taking this exam. This is the site that will provide you with the information you need to pass.

The exam itself is about 100 multiple-choice questions, with a time limit of 90 minutes. It is important to remember that the exam cannot be paused and if your browser crashes or your connection dies, that the timer will keep on going. If this should happen, you should contact the support area and find out what can be done. The exam is available to each customer twice a month, and if you have issues on one exam, you'll be able to retake once again that month.

The exam itself costs 50 dollars and the money once offered is non-refundable. You will need to pay the 50 dollars every time you want to take the exam. Keep in mind that the content of the exam does change, and that you might want to retake the test periodically to make sure that your knowledge is still current. Even as new as the certification is, you'll find that there has been an increase in the content covered in the time since it started.

So, for $50 a pop you can take the exam and get certified. Once you are certified you can tell people your'e cerified.

Kind of like Microsoft certification except that when you get MS certified they give you a T-shirt too
