1) From the "Overview" page on the Teacher Center, scroll down to find the section "Take the next step with the Educator Level 2 Certification" and click on "Get started."

2) Once on the Level 2 page, you will need to decide if you wish to take the Level 2 exam immediately or go through the training modules.

• 2a) If you are comfortable with a wide variety of Google apps and how they can be utilized to improve student learning, you may register for the test immediately by clicking on "Register." The test is 3 hours in length and consists of a mix of multiple choice questions and assessment tasks. You can register for the test immediately, but you will not be able to take the test for a few days. The amount of time you actually spend working on the test will depend on your familiarity with the apps and ideas being tested.

• 2b) If you would like to begin the training, scroll down to "Advanced Training Course" and click on "Start training." The Level 2 training modules are divided into 11 units and could take up to 15 hours to completely work through (hence the 15 PGPs).
