There was a time when Adwords certification was paid. This time is over and now everyone can watch it for free online from home. Google Adwords has officially changed its name to “Google Ads”. I will now advance in my explanations by mentioning this new name.
Now let’s talk about Google Ads certification.
To obtain the Google Ads certification, you must first register and log in to the SkillShop platform (formerly Academy for Ads)
Google Skill Shop
If you have a Gmail ID it’s very easy and you can just log in with your ID and access Skillshop content. The platform is not only for Google Ads certification, it includes different types of courses such as “Google analytics”, “Android Enterprise Academy”, “Google Web Designer”, etc.
Once you have selected the Google Ads course, the course content display will be as follows:
Once connected, the idea is to follow the courses that interest you and then pass the certification concerned. To be officially certified, you must pass and pass the fundamentals of Google Ads as well as a second certification.
A word of advice: take the time to read the courses carefully because all the answers are there. Google Ads certification is all about focus and patience
Once Google Ads certified, you can go further and complete your certification level with more exams and courses on:
- Google Search
- Google Display
- Google Video
- Google Shopping
- Google Mobile Ads
“Google SkillShop” is the heart and soul of the Google Ads platform. Once you understand the concepts of Google search and pass the certifications, you can continue to learn more about all the topics previously exposed.
