About the Bootcamps
The Amsterdam Google Educator and Support Staff Certification Bootcamps offers the fastest track to creating engaging learning experiences in the digital learning environment while becoming an official Google Certified Educator.
Google Educator Level 1
If you’re an educator who knows how to use Google tools in the classroom, passing the Google Educator Level 1 certification proves your proficiency.
Google Educator Level 2
If you’re an educator who is a super user and enthusiast of Google tools in the classroom, having the Google Educator Level 2 certification proves your expertise. Rather than focusing on rote knowledge of apps the course and certification exam focuses on the practical application of the tools in the classroom.
Vouchers will be given so you can take the exam for FREE immediately after the training while the lessons are still fresh in your mind. Results are delivered on the same day and you’ll even get your Google Educator metal pin badge as well as a digital certificate!

But aside from helping you pass the certification exams, attending an AppsEvents Certification Bootcamp also gives you practical tips and tricks to help you get more from G Suite and other Google tools!
We asked some of our bootcamp attendees about what are other key benefits they got after attending one of our pre-certification training and here are some of our favorites:
“Learning more information than I would off doing it at home. Also others [attendees] asking questions that I did not think off. This allows for valuable input from others as well as some discussion.” – B. Bennett, South NL Bootcamp
“Having the time away from my normal job to focus on using Google to improve my teaching with an expert to guide me through it.” – V. Snowball, Sheffield Bootcamp
“Lot’s of new useful information, which can be (and will be!) used in both professional and personal life.” – V. Jakšienė, Lithuania Bootcamp
“To have all the apps covered in a concentrated manner. I have been using some of the apps since Sept. 2016 when our school became GAFE school, so on the one hand I was feeling comfortable during the intensive course, on the other hand I was very happy with my own discoveries – “oh, I didn’t know that was possible” as well as with getting quick answers to the questions that me (as current user) had.” – J. Skupiene, Lithuania Bootcamp
“It challenged me to learn need to tools to become an educational leader in technology“ – J. Edwards, Arkansas Bootcamp
