As a dev team, how can we apply for a Google Workspace education domain for test purposes?

[JerryW]

We are a team working on Google Workspace related apps, and we have developed a product used by about one thousand organizations.  Many schools are using our product, and they want our product to support Google Classroom.   The Classroom API seems pretty easy,  however, without a Google Workspace education domain,  we have no way to test our code.   How can we apply for a Google Workspace education domain for developing/testing purposes?

Hi @JerryW :

As of about 18 months ago (ish), Google Classroom is also available on the Business and Enterprise editions of Workspace. You just go to classroom.google.com to sign in. I'm not sure if it's on by default, though: it might need to be enabled by your Workspace Admin.

Edit: Apparently it was actually more like 3 years ago (November 2018) that Classroom access was expanded to all G Suite editions: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2018/11/google-classroom-for-all-g-suite.html

Hope that helps,
