As a follow up to my last post, I'm happy to report that I've successfully attained my Google Educator Level 2 certification. There was a significant amount of preparation and studying on my part prior to writing; even then I still failed on the first attempt. The Google for Education Training Center is a great place to start if you want to be Google certified. There are several units to work through and they each have review questions that will test your knowledge.
Other potential sources of information that may help you prepare include Google+ and twitter; I have fairly extensive networks on each and I've come across useful bits of information from time to time.
If you are new to Google Apps for Education I suggest you take the time to familiarize with the core apps before taking any of the exams. I did not take the Level 1 exam prior to the Level 2 one (you don't have to) but most people recommend doing this if your skills are still developing.
I'm now preparing the Google Innovator certification by gathering the necessary prerequisites. Wish me luck!
