Google Advertising Professionals Program - A Shiny New Google Badge
Google launch "Google Advertising Professionals"
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum81/3822.htm
Shak at WW gets credited for breaking this story. The "My Control Center" is a great way to manage multiple Adwords accounts, and Google is offering an "Advertising Professionals Certification"
Requirements:
-Sign up for the program successfully and be in good standing. This means that you've accepted the Rules of Use and aren't in violation of them.
-Manage at least one AdWords account (yours or someone else's) in My Client Center for 90 days. This timeframe begins after you sign up for the Google Advertising Professionals program.
-Build and maintain at least US$1,000 total spend for your or your team's My Client Center account during the 90-day period.
-Pass the Google Advertising Professional Exam.
I've actually got a chance to work with the MCC, and it makes life MUCH easier to have an overview of all clients when you work with a dozen or more. After so many, it's real easy to let some accounts fall by the wayside if they are not at the top of your mind.
You can practice for the exam at the Learning Center
I wonder what the shiny badge I'll get to put on my website will look like.

has an good point:
Sounds like a good idea.
$1,000 in 90 days is very low, spend that much in 7days and i thought that was low. The number of people qualifying is going to be huge. Unless the test is difficult come February every man and his dog will have a certificate.
test = not hard
