Skillshop Features New Google Ads Pathways

As seen above, Google Ads Skillshop provides learning pathways that help users grow proficiency in measuring and managing different campaigns like Search, Display, Video, Shopping, and Measurement. Counter to the previous training course, Academy for Ads, Skillshop gives you real-world case studies and typical scenarios so you can be well-equipped in your campaigns.

Skillshop hosts exams that have been redesigned with completely new questions and formats. Contrary to the Academy for Ads, which utilized multiple choice and true or false questions, Skillshop features multi-part and matching questions for a better, well-rounded experience enforcing users to retain qualitative information.

There are sub-topics within the campaign courses. For instance, take a look below for the structure of the Google Ads sub-topic, paths, and courses:

Additionally, Google now assigns a new diagnostic assessment. This is featured in each module, giving individuals the chance to assess where they stand and see what they need to practice more on before the certification test.
