Should you take it?

  • Suits students aged 13 and over who want a free certificate in Gemini, with a separate version for those 18 and over.
  • Not for anyone after a technical AI qualification, since this is a certificate in using Gemini as a student.
  • The catch: Google doesn't say what the exam covers, so try Gemini on real coursework before you sit it.
  • If you're a lecturer or tutor rather than a student, Gemini Certified Faculty is free too and valid for 3 years.

Who can take Gemini Certified Student?

Who can take it, in Google for Education's words: "Students aged 13 and over: one version for those under 18 and one for those 18 and over"
