I celebrated the “Salesforce–Google” strategic partnership announcement with this Google Analytics Certification! Do you want to get this free certification as well? It is easy, read on!
Google Analytics Individual Qualification
The Google Analytics Individual Qualification (GAIQ) covers basic and advanced Google Analytics concepts. This includes planning and principles; implementation and data collection; configuration and administration; conversion and attribution; and reports, metrics, and dimensions.
Exam Fee
- Fee? It’s Free. Yes, Free.
Format
- The Google Analytics assessment consists of 70 questions and takes 90 minutes to complete. 70 questions in 90 minutes!
- This is a timed assessment. Submit your answers before time is up to avoid an automatic failure.
- There’s a timer that will start to count down when you begin the assessment. You won’t be able to pause the timer once it starts. If you leave the assessment — for example, if you close your browser or your computer shuts down — the timer will immediately expire.
Retaking the Assessment
- If you don’t pass the assessment, you can retake it in 1 day. Free again.
Passing Score
- You’ll need a score of 80% or higher to pass.
- If the timer runs out before you’ve answered enough questions correctly, you won’t pass
Certification Expiry
- Unlike Salesforce certification, this certification expires after 18 months (1 and half year) from the date of clearing it. After 18 months, you need to retake the exam to keep your individual qualification current.

To prepare for the assessment, you should take the following free online Analytics Academy courses offered by Google:
