Google Apps Certifications

Probably should be in training, but here will get more views.

 

Anyone had a stab at either of these, in particular the Administrator exam? Google Apps Certification

 

Deployment is a little off for me reading the core topics covered, but I wouldn't mind giving a shot alongside studying the Network+ having got my A+ certification this morning.

I've done the education ones ie Google Certified Educator: https://www.google.com/edu/training/get-certified/

 

In general, harder than I thought and lots of "gotcha" type questions - ie questions like "how many users can edit a document at the same time". Besides knowing "lots" the specific answer is not really important in terms of using the applications well. But the admin exam looks interesting. I would only recommend if you have been actively administering a domain for a while.

Is the Educational one that beneficial to you? I just took the Education for Basics 'exam' now and passed quite comfortably, although to be fair checking the Educator exam stuff out there's probably a few nuggets I've no idea about. Bit of a pain it's unavailable now until the end of June, mind.

 

We have a domain that to be honest we haven't done much with other than doing a sync with GADS and playing around here and there; going to look at getting another domain for me to play with from scratch to practice for the Administrator cert.
