Frequently Asked Questions /
Yes, Level 1 and Level 2 are prerequisites for this course and certification.
If choosing the Self-paced Only course it is recommended you have access to an EDU Workspace domain Admin Console. Alternatively you can obtain a domain name and apply for a trial domain from Google
If selecting the Security Specialist Bundle, you will be provided with a practice domain and Admin Console with Super Admin level access for all three courses via the live instructed classes. This practice domain can then also be used while you work through your self-paced courses for extra study if needed.
If you are already Level 1 and Level 2 certified and are taking the Security Specialist Self-paced course, there will be one Security Specialist exam at the end of your study
If you are selecting the Security Specialist Bundle because you have no current Amplified Admin certifications, you will take a total of three exams; one after each Live Instructed class or course is completed
Your Security Specialist certification will need to be renewed every 2 years. This is due to the ever changing landscape of Google Workspace for Education, and our interest in making sure anyone who is AA Security Specialist certified is always up to date on the latest and best security approaches.
Your existing or newly obtained Amplified Admin Level 2 certification will also expire every 2 years. This course contains advanced Admin Console management techniques and best practices that are more volatile than the basics, and therefore subject to frequent change within Google. We want to ensure you always have the most current skills and best practices for your role in education.
Your Amplified Admin Level 1 certification focuses on the basics of Admin Console management. We feel these skills are easily maintained by you through every day use of your skills in your role in Education, and less susceptible to constant change from Google. Therefore maintaining your Level 2 certification every two years automatically locks in your Level 1 for life without the need for re-certification.
