You may have attended our meet-ups and you've spent time growing your skills. Now, why not get certified for all the works you have done? Google for Education offers two educator certifications so that you can show mastery at the level that’s right for you.

GEG Johor Study Group
- COMING VERY, VERY SOON-
GEG Johor Study Group is a weekly/fortnightly study group/social gathering catered to small group of teachers eager to make their way towards a Google Educator Level 1 Certification. How does the GEG Study Group work? Well, the study group will meet up over three (or more) weekends to cover basic Google Apps for Education syllabus, spanning the course of 3-4 weeks, leading up to the Google Educator Level 1 Examination. Each group will only consist of 8-10 members - a smaller number as compared to our GEG Johor Meet-Ups so we can cater to individual learning needs and learning contents specifically. A small fee will be collected upon registration to which will be channeled entirely towards purchasing the Examination Coupon and as a sign of commitment for the teacher to be part of the Study Group. And as we are (always) a voluntary group, we might not be able to provide a learning centre-like venue for our study groups. But, here's the fun bit; we can assign a local meeting place convenient for our study group to take place in - maybe a coffee shop, a restaurant, a school computer lab, etc.
This is a new learning experience for us and we are pretty sure it will be a new experience for teachers in Malaysia as well. So, if you are interested to be part of this first ever, never been done before, social gathering and group learning opportunity for teachers, register using the form below.
