Finally! Someone who is ACTUALLY taking the course reviewing it. Thank you for an insightful video
I was facing the same issue when I was deciding to take this course, that was the motivation behind this video! Really appreciate the kind words!:)

wow, this is awesome!
I've enrolled and I am currently working on the 3rd course out of the 6. This is only day 3 for me, so if you make time it is VERY possible to complete all 6 courses within a week or two. I have set aside time away from work specifically for this course and I'm working on it for over 12 hours a day, to give some perspective. I am the type of person who will not take breaks until I've accomplished my goal, so if anyone needs encouragement out there, you can definitely knock this course out in record time.
My gosh! What a comprehensive review. This is so easy to explain yet still no one took it upon themselves to do. Well done!
Thanks, appreciate the kind feedback!
Thank you, Kritika, for this awesome review!
Thank-you! Well, this is how I feel about the course! Appreciate the comment!:)
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You answered all the questions I was wondering about. Very informative
Gald to hear this! Appreciate the feedback!:)
Thanks very much Kritika, I'm just going to kick start on this Project Management learning.. you're video helped me well and gave a good road map to become a project manager.

I appreciate this video so much! Thanks for taking the time in explaining what the course entails, I’m about to embark on my PM journey so this is really helpful for making my decision solid. In my country, it’s only $14 per month! :)
Glad it was helpful! We wish you the best for your PM journey!:)
Wow, what a well explained and thorough video!! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the feedback!:)
It’s funny how the standard talk is “traditional project management is waterfall”. Yet it was created in 1970. The bases for agile project management was created way before that in the automative and aviation industry.
This was a helpful video! Thank you for sharing this comprehensive review of Google's Project Management Certificate program and PMI-CAPM Exam / Certification Requirements.
Glad it was helpful!:)
Thank you, it's a very informative video. I appreciate all that effort, you're really good at this, keep doing it! 🎉
I appreciate the kind words!:)
I am considering taking this course and your video helped me to make the decision. Thank you!
Great! All the very best to you!
Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed it,you’re the best ❤
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the kind words!:)

Thanks! Glad to hear that!:)
can you please tell that whether is this course good for college students? Will it help me during my placement season? kindly answer this question. Thank You.
Does H1B visa holders can apply for PM role in USA?
How about some courses on Udmy for 18$, and it says it gives 25 hours ?
Great information.. Thanks for the details.
Pleasure! Glad it was helpful!:)
Hi, I 've been a sales manager for over 9+ years, I've currently taken a career break, I want to pivot into the field of project management, I'm okay to start as a junior project manager, can you help me with how to look out for jobs once I am done with this certification.
Thank you so much for your video!
Pleasure!:)
Will this be helpful if I don't have any tech skills?, I want to switch my career in project management
Thanks for sharing. I'm doing this course too. Could you do a video giving tips on finding jobs or your experience on getting a project manager position?
Hey did u got job? I am also doing project management
I am a construction management student does really help us like civil engineers, and CM who are interested in Management I have seen most people are opted PMI rather Google project management course, and both courses have similar topics anyone related to construction can you clarify me certifications like PMI plays a high weightage to CV.
Does it gives you learner's credit for taking PMP exam ?
well explained buddy!!
Glad it was helpful!:)
Thank you for this review, it was very clear and helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the feedback!:)
Thanks for the great video appreciate it. Can you please clarify if I should go for a CAPM certification after completing this course to create a good profile to get into a good B-School?
You don't need CAPM just to get into a B-school. However, if your professional goals are aligned to getting this certificate then I'd say yes go for it, it will be a good addition to your Resume!
Exactly the info I was looking for as to what certificate course to take google vs PMP offered course for CAPM.
So glad to hear this!
Thanks for your comment :)
Can uh teach me personally how to be a project manager n find jobs for that
Hi, thank you for an insightful video. Is PMP course for IT field and construction the field same? Does the same PMP certification applicable to all streams?
Yes it does!
I’m in my gap year preparing for MBA entrance and I’m looking for a certification course to enhance my profile. So should I go for this or any other suggestion?
This is a great certification, if you're a beginner in Project Management.
Hello, thanks for the video! I am a graphic designer doing google UX course, and I have access to other to other google courses. Do you think project management would be useful to take to complement my career in UX/ UI? Thanks in advance.
Yes. If you want to lead teams.
Hey just a quick question. I am someone who already has 3 years of experience in project management working in a startup but I was never guided properly in my position by any senior. Should i take this course or should i directly go for CAPM or PMP?
Did PMP since it’s more prestigious and higher reputation
This is good as a starter PM cert
Go for it
I am aiming for public relations field. Is this course helpful for it? Or should i go with digital marketing to enhance my overall skillset. Thanks.
Digital Marketing is a great skill to have and very in-demand now a days, as almost all the companies no matter what their domain is, take advantage of digital marketing tools to promote their products and services. The GPM course on the other hand will give you the basic understanding of how projects are planned, kicked off, executed and wrapped up successfully. Also, it gives you great techniques on how to deal with people in general, to manage a team, manage stakeholder's expectation, manage clients, vendors, etc.
So, my 2 cents, do both if you can!:) Or else, choose what you want to specialize in, and then make a decision!
Thank you for the insight! I have a question.. my English level is intermediate and want to see how hard it will be as a PM in real work.. I’d appreciate if you can share your thoughts.
IMO, English is just a language, the main aim is to communicate. As long as you are able to express yourself and get your point across, that is the only thing required to manage a team and get things done!:)
Also, the more you practice the more you improve your speaking skills!
Hello ma'am. I would like to thank you for the efforts you put into creating this video and answering almost all the questions.
I have one more question please. There is a certain additional amount which is needed to pay for the examination of PMI, is there any additional amount for the Google exam as well or is it just the monthly? subscription amount?
Hi, thanks for your kind words. Google doesn’t conduct any exams for this certification. You just have to pay the monthly subscription fee for Coursera and complete the all the 6 courses in the certification program.
should i apply in college for a degree while im already doing this course? or just volunteer and internships to get experience ?
Google does say that you don't need to go to a school for PM after this course, but honestly, I would suggest otherwise. As, according to my research and experience, a lot of companies still need a college degree(at least bachelors) to even consider you as a potential candidate.
So, if you can afford to go to college/university to get a degree, I'd say go for it, absolutely.
Hi, I am student of MBA and currently working in Marketing. I want to explore project management and have no prior experience. Is this course relevant for me or should I look for advanced one.
If you say, "have no prior experience" then yes, IMO this course will be a good starting step for you!
I have completed my Google Project Management certification , still not get any job. What else I have to do?
i am on the verge of finishing GPMCm still trying to find out internship offers with jobs but not getting any luck. you found a job yet?
Hi ... The video finds more interesting..at the end of the course .. did we need to submit any project or we need to write exam to get the certificate?
So, you'll get to work on a Capstone Project in the last course(in this series of 6 courses).
@@programmercouple ok thanks .. did we need to do project on that course 6
Then we need to submit that project
Hii, I have a 2 years diploma in project management from a Canadian university. Is it worth to still persue Google PM certification?
Better you should go for PMP if you have experience
hi i am glad to hear ypur from canada i am in edmonton i am a carpenter by trade but want to get out of the tool and be on the office side there a lot of opportunity for assistant project manager in my field i dont know if you can help me guide me is that course can help me make the switch or no causethe school here charge 5000 dollars it insane i am starting my free trial at the moment and also how do i get a blueseal thanks for your time
Hi, thanks for your question, However, as a Tech Project Manager, I don't have much knowledge of you domain but what I can tell you from my experience of this course is, well, this course is for novice Project Managers from all domains. Also, it's going to cost you much less than $5000 for sure!
Which course is better for learning
1month, 3months or 6months
Depends totally on you. How much time you can dedicate for the learning each week. 1 month will be quite hectic. 3 months will be good provided you are not working. If you are working then you have to dedicate even your weekend for it.
Thanks for the info please enlighten me for some doubts:-
1. To take Coursera project management
2. To take CAPM
To get those both i should have 3years experience. Then we can apply for job of project Management
Oh I need 3 years for Google PM cert. really?
@@CSneedInc You do not need any experience for either the Google PM cert or the CAPM cert.
@@JanuaryGoat Thanks so much
will this course be worth it if I do and want the work with zero experience?
Well, this Google Career Certificate does claim that you can use this certification as a diploma in Project Management and use this to find a job. However, I am not sure how the companies would respond to that. IMO, the odds are low.
Hi I am new to this channel and was lost as to where to start with career in project management
I am currently in a different career role all together
Is there any place I can learn more about project management career and where can I connect more with people in this role
Hi Nair, welcome to the community. There's an app that we use to meet potential like-minded people with similar interests, it's called Meetup! Let us know if it worked for you! All the best :)
It’s a great question @sreelakshminair4970!! I am in the same boat. I am in a diff field too and would like to switch to a diff field where I want to grow. Let me know your thoughts after meeting with other people.
@@programmercouple- thanks for this details video… helps people like me who are not from this field and are thinking about this.
Hey I also started this program did u got job ?
Hii ma'am I have completed Google certified project management course but I don't have a bachelor's degree. I AM planning to do mba in project management can I do it with the help of this certificate.
I’m on capstone the last course in the series. Any suggestions or pointers kritika?
You're ahead of me! Let me know how it goes for you!:)
Did you finish? How long it took?
@@ShubhamKuldeepisk yes I did finish it a while back actually. It took me around 6 months to finish the entire course.
Will I get 6 individual certificate after completion or 1 diploma combined after completion?
Both, you'll get a certificate of completion after completing each course and if you complete all 6 courses, you'll get a certificate of completion for the entire Google ProjectManagement program.
great :) thank you @@programmercouple
You explained everything so well. I'm starting the course tonight.
Glad to hear that the video helped! Thanks for your feedback :)
Did you get the certificate? Did you get a job? Any updates?
Hey did u got the job ?
@@suman_shekhawat lol I'll let you know if I do. I'm about half way done with the program
@@BOBJOEx2 hey are you doing this course or are you in college
I have acquired Google project management certificate. Can anyone tell me how long the certification is valid
Forever.
great :) thank you @@programmercouple
Only an Indian origin genetic math brain can do these calculations so well, and compare what goes out of our pocket, thanks for the lovely video 🙏❤️ 😀 👍😊
Haha, appreciate the feedback and your witty comment!:)
Is Google certification as worthy as pmp?
Not as worthy IMO but it can just help you fulfill the requirements(PDUs) in order to be eligible for PMP, in case you need it!:)
Hi..if i study 7 hrs a day and have fairly good understanding of project management practices..can i finish this course in 14 days?
It is possible! However, sometimes the exercises can take time, so be prepared for up to 30 days.
Can anyone tell, if you can't complete within 6months?? I have reenroll or it will be cancelled... 😅😅😅 Please reply..
You can take as much time as you want to complete the course! It’s a monthly subscription so the only drawback is, the more time you take the more you pay!
I just have one question after completing this course how do I get in touch with recruiters.. like how do I get a job?
IMO, there is only one way to find a job, find suitable job postings that interest you on sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster.. you get the idea, and just apply left, right and centre! You can also ask your friends for referrals if they already work in the company you are targeting. That helps a lot!
Hey Sakshi, I am on the verge of completing GPMC, wanted to check if you find any jobs via this certification?
hi, may i have an update for your journey on this course? thankyou
Hey, I am at the last course, working on the capstone project!
I was so curious about this. I’m working professional as well. And can you help me with understanding what the capstone project will look like pls?
I like you so much, my dream is to meet you in future........... I wish it will complete......
That's sweet! Thanks!
Love, love, love this breakdown! I just started this course last week and I am halfway through the first module. The pricing also motivates you to keep going so you don’t spend extra time and even make it to the six months. If you are reading my comment as of May 31, 2023 and live in America there is a financial assistance program called the American dream (google this) that you can sign up And receive assistance to take all of the Coursera courses for free including this one. Hope that helps somebody!
Hey, thanks for your so very thoughtful comment! All the very best to you!:)
I am almost done with the course on coursera. Through Financial aid, so it was free for me too.
