If you’ve passed the Google Analytics Individual Qualification exam, you probably want people to know. One thing you can do is publish a link to your test record. But, you should also make sure that you’re searchable from the Google Testing Center.

Here’s how to make sure that people can find you. First, log in to the Google Testing Center. (Note: Use the login information you created during your first visit to the Google Testing Center.)

Access your profile on the Google Testing Center.

In the “Google Analytics Individual Qualification” section under “Would you like your name added to the database if you pass this test?”, select the Yes option.

Click “Save Changes.”
That’s all there is to it. Now anyone searching for you on the Testing Center site will find you!

Google Analytics IQ: Proof of Qualification Now Available!

Since we launched the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ) program, many of you have asked for a way to prove to others that you have passed the Google Analytics IQ test and are therefore Google Analytics qualified. We’re pleased to announce that you are now able to create and publish a link to your official test record. You can publish this link on your website or share it with others however you wish. When someone clicks on your link, they’ll be taken to a page that looks like this:

Your test record can also display your test score and a contact email address if you wish to share this information. You can even create multiple test records — for example, one that includes your contact email address and one that doesn’t — to share with different people.

Here’s how to set it up. Go to the Google Testing Center and sign in to your account (using the same email to log in that you used when you took the test). Once you’ve signed in, click the Manage Your Test Records link (highlighted in yellow on the screenshot below).
You’ll then see this screen (below). Click the Add link (highlighted in yellow).
On the next screen, you select the information that you want included in the test record. The Description can be any name you want; you’ll be the only one who sees this name.
Save the record. You’ll now see a test record. Click the record (shown in yellow, below) to get the link.

You’ll now be able to share your test record by copying and pasting your link.
We encourage you to share and publish links to your test record, but please remember that you may not create logos or graphics (or reuse any logos that you find online) to promote your Google Analytics qualification. The link to your test record is your official proof of qualification.

In today’s economic climate, data-driven marketing and website decision making is increasingly important. If you have solid Google Analytics skills, more than ever, your talents are needed. But, even if you’re just starting out learning Google Analytics, we have some good news for you.

Google is offering an online course in web analytics techniques and Google Analytics implementation, administration, and analysis tools. The course is offered free of charge to everyone who is interested. In addition, Google is also offering a test you can take to prove you are qualified in Google Analytics — the Google Analytics Individual Qualification — or IQ test.

It costs $50 to take the test. Once you pass, you’ll be registered as Google Analytics qualified. You must receive a score of at least 75% to pass, so even if you already consider yourself an expert, be sure to at least review the online course before taking the test.

For more details or to start the course, simply visit ConversionUniversity.com. There’s a FAQ with all the details and a link to the Google Analytics IQ test.
