Get Certified Program continuation in 2025?

Happy New Year!

Is there a plan to continue the Get Certified Program in 2025 or another program where we could gain experience and the opportunity to get a certificate for free?

Thanks!

Thanks. I have joined four times this program last year and never have been accepted 😕

The same now - I am waitlisted but once I logged out I see new program is coming and the program is open now. Doesn't sound promising.

I think the program has not yet renewed for 2025. I took part last year (2024) and am still shown as being on the waitlist, suggesting that a new program for 2025 is not yet available for innovators. 

Hi, @Blitzer.

Yes, the program started again this year. I was notified about it through my company’s internal discussion channels yesterday.

me too

Is there any update over this? Any MODs available? I have sent around 3 emails to <googlecloudinnovators@google.com> and haven't received a reply in a week. 

This is exactly why I decided to ask the question in public forum. I am worrying that this program doesn't work at all. I am waitlisted but as far as I remember I declared interest in exam which is not listed in 2025. Therefore should I decline my registration? In that case may be my queue position will start count again etc.

I understand that there are probably a lot of people interested in and not everybody can be satisfied. 

No, it does work. I was enrolled into the 2024 program, then got a 100% voucher for the certification of my choice at the end after completing all the required labs (although I didn't pass the exam :))

Any updates ? I'm also in the same boat still haven't received any information regrading it

I think if your organization has used google cloud, you have advantage over the people whose company don't use google cloud. I was selected for an email address which uses google cloud although i applied later with that email address than i did with the other one that don't probably use google cloud. Maybe i am wrong.

If you have already registered for the Innovator program previously, please follow the steps provided by Google in this document to re-register: https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/getcertifiedrereginstructions.pdf

I took part in 2024 and have re-registered today for the 2nd edition that starts on April 8, 2025.

Thanks @fjalappat for sharing this informative resource.
