Has anyone passed the Google AdWords Certification Exams since they transitioned to Google Partners?

I just passed my exams. It says "You need to pass 0 exams to be certified", but I didn`t get any sort of certificate. Isn`t there supposed to be one?

  • Sitah Parnell: Mike, they are phasing out the old badges and are only giving new badges called "google partners". Basically they are focusing more on companies showing certifications, rather than individuals. You can still call yourself certified but you will not have a certificate or badge. I guess the only way you can show you are certified is logging into your account with the email you did your tests with.
  • Mike Stetzer: Thanks +Sitah Parnell  ;! Wish they still had the individual certification badges. ;
  • RACHIT GUPTA: Hi MIke, I have also done my certification last week and the same thing happened with me. Thanks to Sitah, but we individuals really deadly waiting for some proof or such type of things which shows live passing crieteria. :)
