Google Analytics is launching a skills qualification program. Think Google Adwords certification, but for Google Analytics.
The program is called Google Analytics IQ – or Google Analytics Individual Qualification. Once you’re certified, you can help use Google to brand yourself to clients or enhance your status to your boss if you’re in-house.
“Google is an important partner to both GroupM and its clients,” said Rob Norman, Director of Interactive at WPP agency GroupM Worldwide. “Google Analytics is an important resource in helping us to understand the opportunity that Google presents, and our participation demonstrates our continued commitment to gaining insight in all our key channels.”
