Frequently Asked Questions
What editions does Google Workspace for Education offer?
Google Workspace for Education offers Education Fundamentals to all qualifying institutions at no charge (unpaid). For those that want more premium features, Google also offers paid editions including Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Education Plus.
Is it possible to trial the paid Google Workspace for Education editions?
Yes. As an authorised Google Workspace for Education partner, we can provision 60-day trials for Education Plus, Education Standard, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade. Up to 50 licenses are provided for the trial.
What do I need to do to start my free 60-day trial?
Simply complete the contact form at the top of this page and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your specific requirements. Once we've gathered some initial information to set up your trial, we will activate your licences and check in with you over the course of the 60 days to help you get the most out of the enhanced features available within Google Workspace for Education Plus.
Are there differences in storage across editions?
All editions provide schools with 100TB of storage shared across the institution. Additional storage is provided with the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Education Plus editions based on the number of licenses purchased.
Do I have to pay anything to receive the guidance from your team during my Google Workspace trial?
No. We offer guidance throughout a Google Workspace trial as a complimentary service because we want to ensure our customers experience the full value of Google's paid tiers before committing to a purchase. There's a whole host of powerful and exciting features to try out, and if you get stuck with anything, we can provide a helping hand so you can make the most of your trial.
Can I have more than one edition at the same time?
It varies based on the intended combination of editions.
You must have an Education Fundamentals edition to upgrade to any of the other editions (Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, or Education Plus).
You cannot have Education Plus in combination with Education Standard or the Teaching and Learning Update — only Education Fundamentals.
You can have a combination of Education Standard and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade at the same time. Although the maximum value of those combined editions can be realised in Education Plus, Google wanted to be as flexible as possible to accommodate school community needs.
Can I upgrade/downgrade between the editions?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
Customers who purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade can add Education Standard at any time (and vice versa) and to Education Plus.
Customers can reevaluate continuing with their subscription or downgrade at the end of their subscription term.
What is the duration of a paid Google Workspace for Education subscription?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are available as annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term. However, institutions can also purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade on a monthly subscription, as an alternative to purchasing it as an annual subscription.
Will schools that previously purchased G Suite Enterprise for Education automatically get access to all new features that come with Google Workspace for Education Plus?
Yes, all customers who have purchased G Suite Enterprise for Education will receive new features and functionality that are released to the new Google Workspace for Education editions.
After the trial is over, if I don't wish to proceed with an upgrade, what happens?
There is no obligation to upgrade at the end of your trial and you won't be automatically signed up to continue. Your trial licences will expire and your current Google Workspace subscription will continue uninterrupted.
