Gemini Certification boosts your tech toolkit, helping you stay ahead in the classroom and beyond. The associated badge communicates a commitment to education and an understanding of AI tools – important signals to recruiters whether you’re teaching, learning, or preparing for what’s next. I already have my Google for Education Certified Innovator, Coach, and/or Trainer recognition. Do I automatically become a Google for Education Champion? Yes! As a Google for Education Certified Innovator, Google for Education Certified Trainer, and/or Google for Education Certified Coach are automatically inducted into our Google for Education Champions community and gain this recognition. You should have received an email from our team with more information. I have my Educator Level 1 and/or L2 Certification. Does that mean I'm a Google for Education Champion? Not unless you also are a Google for Education Certified Innovator, Coach, and/or Trainer. Google for Education Champions are individuals who hold one or more of those recognitions. To gain those recognitions see the requirements and application process here: http://edu.google.com/Champions. I am a member or leader of a GEG or Reference School / District. Does that mean I’m a Google for Education Champion? Not unless you also are a Google for Education Certified Innovator, Coach, and/or Trainer. Google for Education Champions are individuals who hold one or more of those recognitions. To gain those recognitions see the requirements and application process here: http://edu.google.com/Champions. The introduction of Google for Education Champions does not change anything for members of the global educator groups. However, beginning 2024, GEG Leaders will be required to be a Champion (hold either a Coach, Trainer, or Innovator certification). Reference Schools / Districts may encourage their educators to consider becoming Google for Education Champions wherever it makes sense. Is Trainer, Innovator and Coach going away? No, Google for Education Champions does not replace the Certified Trainer, Innovator and Coach programs, but unites and elevates them. Innovator, Trainer, and Coach will continue, and we will continue accepting new members into each sub community. Trainer and Coach are currently accepting applications and Innovator will open for new applications in 2024. If I apply to become a Google Certified Trainer next month, will I automatically become a Champion? Yes! If you are accepted as a Googler Certified Trainer and complete all related onboarding steps, you will automatically be considered a Champion. Can I still use the Google Certified Innovator/Trainer/Coach badge? Yes! Your individual program badges are not going anywhere. You can also use the new Champions badge and email signature which can be found here. What are the requirements to maintain each certification? All changes will go into effect in 2024. Innovator - no changes Continue working on a high-impact Innovation Project of your choosing Being influential advocates for using Google technologies to transform education Leading Google programs to drive innovation and transformation in their schools or school systems Trainer - minor updates, all recertification requirements for Trainer are currently suspended.
