Google AdWords Certification Program for Individuals

Different individuals have their own reasons for becoming Google AdWords certified but two of the main reasons are for self assessment and public exposure. 

Benefits

Once qualified, individuals receive a Google-branded certificate and can add their Individually Qualified status to their CV or resumes to showcase their AdWords skills and knowledge. In addition, to help you promote your status as Individually Qualified in the Google Certification Program, Google allows you to publish a public profile page to verify your qualification. Check out my Individual Profile Visibility.
