Professional ChromeOS Administrator certification

As Google looks to put ChromeOS in more enterprises, the company is releasing a new certification for ChromeOS administrators designed to help IT professionals learn the necessary skills to manage large fleets of ChromeOS devices.

The Professional ChromeOS Administrator certification, Google says, is designed for IT professionals to demonstrate their skills as a ChromeOS IT admin and earn a badge that provides their proficiency to peers and employers alike.

Google says the certification is made for enterprise and education system administrators, as well as junior engineers with at least one year of holistic IT infrastructure experience. The exam assesses the ability to perform actions from Google Admin console, including configuring ChromeOS policies and understanding the tenets of ChromeOS.

The Professional ChromeOS Administrator certification exam takes three hours and includes about 50 multiple choice questions and 30 hands-on lab questions. IT professionals have 90 minutes to complete each section.

The exam is free to take for a year, as Google is waving the $125 fee for all IT admins. It is currently available in English, and a Japanese exam will be available early next year.

In addition to the new certification, Google says it now has over 600 policies in the Google Admin Console to help organizations customize IT environments.

This includes new group-based policies for new and existing Google groups that allow administrators to install an app for a specific set of users instead of moving them into a new organizational unit. Google says this helps reduce the time and effort involved in configuring apps and extensions and helps avoid the forced install of apps to entire organizational units.

“Here’s how it could play out: imagine people distributed across different teams, in different organizational units, who need to collaborate on the design of a new app,” Google says in a blog. “Instead of having to try to shuffle everyone into a new organizational unit, now you can easily create a new group and ensure that the right people get access to the app.”
