Gemini in Google Workspace

Gemini in Google Workspace from the Enterprise Technology Association (ETA) is a short, hands-on course for people whose organization works in Google Workspace and uses Gemini, Google's AI assistant. It covers Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet, the Gemini app, Gems, NotebookLM and Workspace agents, and the habits that make all of them reliable: knowing what Gemini can see, writing a clear brief, verifying what it produces, setting the right level of autonomy, and measuring value honestly.

You finish with a capstone: a Gemini playbook for one real recurring workflow, submitted and reviewed by a person. Completing the course earns the ETA Specialist credential: ETA Specialist: Gemini.

What you'll learn

• Explain how Gemini uses your Workspace content and permissions, and where admin settings apply
• Brief Gemini clearly in the side panel and in the Gemini app
• Verify email drafts, document summaries and "Take notes for me" meeting notes before they go out
• Check Gemini's analysis and charts in Sheets
• Build Gems and NotebookLM notebooks grounded on approved sources
• Place Workspace agents and automations on the ETA Agent Autonomy Ladder and measure net time saved

Who it's for

Anyone who uses Google Workspace with Gemini at work, in any role or sector, and the people who set it up for a team. It assumes you've completed Level 1: Foundations of the ETA Certified AI Empowered Professional (free), so you know ADAPT, the six-part brief and the ETA Agent Autonomy Ladder.

How it works

Three modules with a Try it exercise in every lesson (each with a no-license option), a knowledge check after each module, a capstone and a final assessment. About 1 hour 45 minutes. Included with ETA Pro membership and above.

Google changes Gemini's features, names and limits often. Lessons teach durable skills, and the last lesson holds a dated snapshot (November 2026) with links to Google's documentation. ETA is independent of Google; this course is not an endorsement.

Your credential

Passing the final assessment, including your reviewed capstone, earns ETA Specialist: Gemini: a certificate with its own verification page on joineta.org, issued as a verifiable digital badge (Open Badges 3.0) you can add to LinkedIn. ETA Specialist credentials stand on their own; they don't count toward a level of an ETA certification. The course adds 2 credit hours toward your hours-based credentials (AI Explorer, AI Empowered Professional and AI Empowered Leader).
