As you know, the Google Certified Educator Level 1 and Level 2 certifications are valid for three years. You must renew your certification status by retaking and passing the applicable exam. As part of the Google Reference School Program, we have specific quotes of certified staff that need to be maintained.
So, if you have received an email from Google saying that you have 30 days to renew, take advantage of those dates. Please reach out and request your voucher.
