Google Certified Associate -- G Suite Administrator

Google pioneered the cloud-based office productivity category with Google Apps, but now finds itself chasing Microsoft to regain the market share lead it lost in 2015. 

A push to reclaim the top spot started with Apps being rebranded as G Suite, and has included a renewed channel focus to help partners compete against Microsoft Office 365.

Certified G Suite administrators have proven they are competent in configuring and managing all aspects of the portfolio, including administering users, groups and access to services. They must also be proficient in managing security and mobile policies.

According to Glassdoor, an average Google Systems Administrator earns a base salary of $113,945 in the U.S., and total compensation of more than $126,000.
