google search appliance certification?

[dotnetguy]

I was wondering if there is a certification I can get in Google Search
Appliance?

Basically a certification exam that I can pass to demonstrate
reasonable knowledge of Google Search Appliance to prospective
employers?

Thanks!

Currently, there is no certification program. However, if you attend a
GSA course offered by Google or a Google Enterprise partner, you do
receive a certificate indicating that you've completed the course.

I saw the response from Dave Watts dated 12/04/2010 that GSA course offered by Google or a Google Enterprise partner is the way to get GSA certified. Will someone please advise if this is still the only way to get GSA certified now or do we have an exam where anyone can take it to get certified? If there is a separate exam, please send me the details.

Thanks in advance

There are courses and a final exam to get certified as a deployment specialist by Google.

But as far as I know these are only available for Google Partners.

So if you are a Google Partner contact your Partner manager for details

It's actually more restricted now than it used to be. You must take
Google's courses offered through the private channel only available to
partners. There is no public certification available, and I don't
expect that to change any time soon.
