Google Career Certificates

Each program is designed to put you on a fast track to jobs in high-growth fields, even if you have no prior experience. In less than six months, you’ll get the training you need to start your new career.

Our IT Support Certificate was the first certificate we offered and it quickly became the top professional certificate program on Coursera, after being completed by thousands of people.

We now offer four different certificates and we’re continuing to expand the program to create more pathways into more fast-growing, high-paying fields for those who are looking to make a change and begin a new career.

As part of the Google Career Certificates, you’ll engage with a dynamic mix of hands-on labs and other interactive assessments, all developed by Google employees. A degree from a post-secondary education program isn’t a requirement to enroll.

The Google IT Support Professional Certificate introduces you to troubleshooting, customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, and security — all the fundamentals of IT support that are critical for success in the workplace.

The Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate builds on your IT foundations to help you take your career to the next level. This program teaches you in-demand skills like programming in Python, using Git, advanced troubleshooting, and IT automation techniques.

The Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate introduces you to the world of data analytics and how to collect, transform, and organize data in order to help make informed business decisions. You'll develop in-demand data analytics skills using spreadsheets, SQL, Tableau, R, and more.

The Google Project Management Professional Certificate introduces you to project management artifacts and skill sets for planning, organizing and running projects so they can be delivered on time and on budget. You'll discover how to manage projects efficiently and effectively, using traditional and agile methods.

The Google UX Design Professional Certificate introduces you to the foundations of the design process, including empathizing with users, building wireframes and prototypes, and conducting research to test your designs. You’ll understand how to make digital and physical products that are easier and more enjoyable to use.

The Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate introduces you to the fundamentals of managing digital marketing campaigns, attracting and engaging customers, and selling products. The certificate will teach you how to use popular digital marketing and e-commerce tools like Shopify, Mailchimp, Twitter, Google Ads and more.

Education and technology are keys to opportunity, but so are equity and access.

To support access to the Google Career Certificates, we’ve  provided a Google.org grant to NPower Canada to deliver Google Career Certificate programs and deploy 5,000 scholarships.

These scholarships are distributed through NPower Canada, in collaboration with youth and workforce development non-profits like Indspire, Pathways to Education, Toronto Public Library, and the YMCA, focusing on Canadians from underserved communities. Those interested in applying for a scholarship can do so here.

Since 2021, NPower Canada has guided scholarship recipients through the program, providing ongoing wraparound support and the skills needed to be job-ready upon completion.
