Skillshop achievements and certifications

When you sign up for Skillshop, you'll get access to achievements, certifications and related study materials.

An achievement in Skillshop is a recognition that you'll get when you pass the final assessment in a learning path. Think of achievements as milestones on your way to learning new skills. While achievements aren't formal accreditations, they're acknowledgements of your hard work on Skillshop.

Certifications are granted when you pass the certification assessments and meet the qualifications for the certification. A certification is a professional accreditation that Google offers to individuals who demonstrate proficiency in basic and advanced aspects of Google products and solutions like Google Ads and Google Marketing Platform.
