GoogleOS administrator

Has anyone sat the Google OS admin exams?

Is this the ChromeOS admin course or something new?

 

I've not done ChromeOS admin but probably should do - the vast majority of our servers are ChomeOS based.

Is that the free ChromeOS Professional that they're currently offering free?

I really should, but there are several areas of study in there that I've not touched in my basic use of the admin console.

I did Chrome OS IT Administrator back in June 2019 so I have just realised it expired last year. I might redo, but have no access to Google Admin at present. I do recall I didn't have to pay. It might have been a proctored test, again the memory has faded! I think it was direct with Google, but it might have been a partnership with Coursera. Great course and well worth doing if you get a chance and formal certification never does any harm.

 

***Update - just checked - yes it was proctored ***

That's the one, and my follow up question was going to be which materials did people use!. The links are sparse and not always related.

I did the Google offered cert before and was fine (never got my free google t-shirt though ) very easy to wing it if you done even the basics before - was ProctorU though which is a downside. (Not sure if they still do but Google used to offer a free trial of G Suite which is good to test on and learn - If not speak to whoever manages your workspace account and ask for some separate OU's so you can test and learn.)
