Question on the first amendment of the Googles Trusted tester Program

[ShubhamG27]

The first amendment to the program that the tester should be atleast 19 years of age seems somewhat to be unjustful to the previous 18 years mark as I think the difference of a mere 1 year doesn't make much difference in the perspective or sense of understanding of an individual. A 18 year guy or a girl can equally be capable of a 19 year one. So what's the point of amending this policy is questionable. I think those who read would also agree on my point.

Hi @ShubhamG27

For me 19 is reasonable because in some cases they ask that you reach 21.

If you have 18 it's only 1 year to wait, you us it to perfect your knowledge about this program and be well prepared.

See you

Hi @ShubhamG27 A Warm Welcome in Connect, the Official Community of Google Local Guides.

I agree with @Venance, for a very simple reason. The minimum age for joining Local Guides program is 18, and I am personally expecting that a Beta Tester should have at least one year of experience in the program.

So take your time for increasing your experience, and you will be ready soon.
