Advance your IT career by learning to manage, secure, and optimize Google Workspace environments with the Google Workspace Administrator professional certificate, developed by Google Cloud and delivered on edX.
Designed for aspiring or current system administrators, this program equips you with the technical expertise to oversee collaboration tools, protect organizational data, and streamline operations across a modern cloud-based workplace. It's delivered through three hands-on courses:
- Google Workspace Core Services
- Google Workspace Data Governance
- Google Workspace Security
Master the core services that power collaboration across organizations. Learn to enable and configure Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Meet, Chat, and Docs for users and groups; deploy Gemini to enhance productivity with AI-driven insights; and use AppSheet and Apps Script to automate workflows and extend the functionality of Workspace applications.
Strengthen your ability to govern data responsibly. Explore data-loss prevention (DLP) rules in Gmail and Drive, manage retention and retrieval with Google Vault, and configure both data regions and export settings to meet compliance standards. You'll also learn how to classify and label data to support security, structure, and transparency across your organization.
Elevate your capabilities in Workspace security. Implement robust authentication controls such as strong password policies and two-step verification; manage third-party app access and mobile device security; and use the security investigation tool to proactively identify and respond to risks.
By the end of this online program, you'll have developed the end-to-end skills needed to manage an entire Google Workspace domain. You'll also earn Google Workspace Administrator certification, an industry-recognized credential that validates your ability to manage and secure enterprise environments.
