What is Google Academy For Ads? How to Open an Account?

Google’s brand new platform, Academy for Ads, offers an extensive selection of top-notch training courses, challenging exams, and prestigious certificate programs for you to confidently explore.

I received an email from Google today stating that the Google Partner’s certificates panel will be replaced. The new panel will be located at Google’s Academy for Ads and includes updated training courses, exams, and certification programs. This move will streamline the certification process and provide a better learning experience for all users.

Google has taken this path to provide more content with the application and to organize the messy training documents. The current system is organized in a chaotic manner, making it nearly impossible to locate specific information. However, the new system is more self-explanatory and easier to navigate, making it a significant improvement over the previous one.

Moreover, the new Academy for Ads panel is fully compatible with all devices and boasts a highly intuitive design. Crucial features, such as locating training materials, taking exams, sharing results, and reviewing details, are now conveniently within reach.

Starting on the week of January 16, 2018, accessing Google’s Adwords, Analytics, and other exams and certificates will only be possible through Academy for Ads. Be aware that public Google Partners profile pages will no longer be accessible due to this transition. However, there will likely be new alternatives provided by Google, making it easy for agencies and other users to confirm the accuracy of their certificates. Rest assured, this transition will streamline the process and ensure that all users have access to the most up-to-date information and certifications.

What About the Google AdWords Certificates You Have Earned Before?

You can confidently access your certificates on your panel until they expire. Renewing your certificates will require using a different portal, panel, and training system. Your Google AdWords and other Google Partners certification exams, as well as personalized certifications, will remain valid until their expiration date.

We are confident that the implementation of this application will be completed by January 2018. We strongly advise you to obtain your certificate as soon as possible, as the exams may become more challenging or have an increased variety of questions. It is worth noting that Google’s certification exams were previously paid and cost $50, but they are currently free. We are confident that they will remain free and not revert to the old paid system again.
