I have a question for you. I am the CEO of a Google for Work and Education Partner. Our primary focus is on the commercial side, though we do help out with EDU projects from time to time. [ I am a Google Certified Admin and has a Trainer Essentials Cert+Chrome+Chromebooks …I am listed in the directory, but I guess I have always thought that the Certified Trainer was for classroom teachers only. I have every credential that GWC offers [other than Search and Maps], and university teaching experience in technical subjects but, not basic technology. Is it work my time to apply?
I guess it depends on what you want to do with the certification. T Google for Education Certified Trainer is meant for those in the education field with a focus on classroom implementation. If you deliver training to educators, I think it would be worth it.
