You get a GAIQ certificate once you pass the exam.
Yes, the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (GAIQ) exam exists, and I just passed it!
Indeed I’ve been polishing my skills. First, the Advanced SEO Certification I mentioned on my last posts; this week was the GAIQ; and next will be…shhh, it’s a secret.
I enjoy learning new things, which is good since constant learning and Internet marketing go hand and hand.
Google introduced the GAIQ earlier this year – and what a great idea to encourage professionals to take the extra learning step. The test consists of 70 questions, is 90 minutes long and costs $50. To pass you need more than 75% and once you do, you get a very modest PDF with your name on it.
This month I completed the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) Instute’s certificate on Advanced Search Engine Optimization.
Overall, it’s a good course. Though I was familiar with many of the topics covered, most of what I know has been self-taught. It was a good update, for sure.
The content is valuable and relevant; there are a gazillion awesome resource links; and you get free trials for KeywordDiscovery and WordTracker (which I’m playing with right now).
