Google Offering Certification In SEO Taught By Google Employees

Historically Google has reported they will not be giving any Seo certification like they do for Google Adverts, Google Analytics, and a whole slew of certification they provide. But that appears to have altered when Google announced the new Google Occupation Certification scholarships for U.S. corporations.

Google’s announcement is positive, don’t get me completely wrong, Google is offering U.S. enterprises up to 500 scholarships each to Google Vocation Certificates to train their personnel. “Enterprises can use Google Occupation Certificates to teach their employees for work opportunities in facts analytics, digital promoting & e-commerce, IT guidance, challenge management or consumer knowledge (UX) structure,” Google wrote.

These courses are taught by Googlers, Google mentioned “all course instructors are Google workforce who are subject matter-make a difference professionals.”

This can get interesting.
