Very interesting report DiTesco,
I can see an entire industry developing behind adwords just like Microsoft or Cisco certification.
I noticed a college course for social media recently and I was like wow.
People like being certified in stuff in my experience that only means they know how to pass a test. In the end experience is what matters.
Hi Darnell. Could not agree with you more. While “certification” matters (a lot in some cases), there is nothing that bars experience. Then again, to get experience, one has to start somewhere 🙂 Good to see you here mate.

Hi, we sometimes run adwords and having someone who is certified through Google is a plus (for us anyways).

There are few available certifications for individuals and companies related to AdWords and Analytics. I think Google just made a bit of change as previously it was required to visit some of the Google conventions at least in every 6 months, but I think this rule dropped since Google introduced hangouts.

Hi Francisco,
Great article. Is the website for practice exams (certshelp.com) legit? Have you some experience with them? Apparently their website is live for only less than a year so I’m not sure if I can trust them.
Hi Dale. I really don´t know, but that does not mean it is legit or not. Maybe a bit of research. Will let you know.
