Happy2Host Edu Wins Google for Education Trainer Leadership Award 2026

We’re proud to share that Happy2Host Edu has been awarded the Trainer Leadership Award at Google’s Partners Global Forum in January 2026. The award recognises the most impactful training partners in the Google for Education ecosystem, and we’re honoured to have been selected from a field of over 400 companies worldwide.

What the Award Recognises

The Trainer Leadership Award celebrates organisations that go above and beyond in delivering high-quality educator training and professional development. For Happy2Host Edu, this recognition reflects the work our team delivered over the past year, including:

• 670 educators certified — We supported 670 education professionals in becoming Google Certified Trainers, equipping them to drive meaningful change in classrooms across the globe.
• A new training curriculum — We developed a brand-new curriculum designed to set stronger standards for Google for Education professional development.
• Multilingual workshop delivery — We expanded our reach by delivering workshops in multiple languages, supporting educator applicants across Italy.
• Raising the standard — We pushed the boundaries of what helpful, interactive training looks like in the education technology space.

From the Classroom to a Global Stage

Happy2Host Edu was founded five years ago by Lawrence Tijjani, a former classroom teacher from Bermondsey, London. After leaving teaching due to health reasons, Lawrence channelled his passion for education into building a creative agency and training company that would go on to become a recognised Google for Education professional development partner.

“Being recognised alongside so many incredible companies, many far larger than ours, is something I won’t take lightly,” said Lawrence Tijjani, Founder of Happy2Host Edu. “But this award belongs to the whole team — every person who’s hosted a webinar or delivered a session is the heartbeat of what we do.”

What’s Next for Happy2Host Edu

This award marks an exciting start to 2026, and we have no plans of slowing down. Our mission remains the same: to deliver world-class training that empowers educators and raises the bar for professional development in the education sector.
