I’m Now Google Analytics Qualified
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
New certification test available.
Yesterday Google launched a new program for individuals that want to become “certified” in Google Analytics. It’s a good certification if you teach, train, or just use Google Analytics:
The Google Analytics IQ program is tailored for agencies who want to retain and develop employees who are knowledgeable about Web analytics, and for individuals who seek ways to improve their job prospects or further their own personal development. Individuals do not have to be associated with an agency or organization to take the online course or test.
Since I’m leading a meeting about Google Analytics for an local company today, I figured I may as well take advantage of the new program. What I learned is that there’s a lot more under the hood of Google Analytics than meets the eye. It doesn’t take much to get the basics down, but if you want to dig deep you can tailor it to do essentially whatever you want it to.
I passed the certification test with flying colors barely, and now I can proudly tell people I’m “qualified”. Apparently I’m the 94th person to achieve this status based on the certificate number.
I’ll add that to my Adwords certification. Oh yeah, I’m that cool.

Way to Go! Google offers even more revenue streams. Nice Job Andrew
Wow, Thats nice man, Way to go. You never mentioned that you have to purchase the test.
I will possibly do it when i get some more money flowing my way.
I didnt know they offered this test but it will be interesting who follows your steps.
Yeah, it’s $50. The test was actually harder than I expected, but you can pause and come back to it. I’d only do it if you’re going to be a consultant. Otherwise do the course for free and skip the test.
Hey, smug-boy…since they actually started their “counting” backwards from 10,000 on those pretty certificates…your #94 really means…well; you get the idea.
I just got certificate #207 (95%), so I guess they didn’t count backwards.
“I just got certificate #207 (95%), so I guess they didn’t count backwards.”
…and apparently not many people are taking them up on the certification too
Wow, congrads ! Just got mine, I agree that exam is way harder than I would expect but totaly do-able.
