I did this course as I way to change my career into project management. I got an entry level job as a project coordinator before I even finished the course. It helped me have basic knowledge for the interviews where I was asked to give a presentation on how to plan a new small project. I wouldn't have been able to get this job without this course. Some parts are better than others, but I strongly recommend it

I had all my notes from the course in place, so I studied them right before my interview, making it so that any questions they asked, I had extremely in-depth answers to. They actually said they'd never had anyone answer so well before! Then a week later, I got the job! I've been there for 3.5 months now and I love it!

This was extremely helpful for me. I've been a PM for 3 months and was considering the Google certification but now I might just work it out and do the CAPM instead. Thank you!

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

Glad it was helpful! @Nicole - if you're already in a PM role and don't feel the need for further education, you could consider waiting for the PMP as well. Good luck with all your future endeavors

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

One more thought - you might also want to ask your employer if they'll cover the cost of the CAPM for you!

[@colin1818]

There are a bunch of different groups that offer various different project management "certifications." Most of them are pretty worthless and just resume fodder. If they're very fast and require a weekend of your time and no prior experience then their value to a hiring manager is likely similarly shallow. The CAPM, despite coming from PMI, isn't really all that valuable. However, if you have literally nothing with "project management" on your resume it's a great place to start. So in that respect CAPM is a worth-while investment since it requires little more than a high school diploma, a couple hundred bucks and some study time. But hopefully it's the type of certification you earn and never recertify because you move on up to the full PMP (also from PMI). The PMP has long been the gold standard and that should be your goal. Only acquire enough of the these minor certifications to get you that first job or two and get to the PMP as quickly as possible. After you have the PMP nothing else is really supremely consequential or helpful unless you're looking at specialized certifications within project management. But as a general, all purpose certification, the PMP is pretty much it.

[@EricStarker]

Thanks for sharing this. I just started the Google Certificate myself. For me, it's at least partly about exploring a different job area from what I'm doing, feeling like I'm a bit stalled in career growth, and that my skill set is already pretty transferable for PM roles (I manage an online community at Microsoft and do already have a four year degree). So far it has been engaging and helpful in that way, whether or not I decide to pursue it as a career pivot.

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

Scrum master and project manager are not the same thing. However you should get trained in both. Many projects are hybrid (iterative and waterfall), you'll want to demonstrate proficiency in both. In today's HR world which are essentially checklists for certs, you'll want both.

Hi Joe - thanks for sharing! I agree that scrum masters are definitely different from PMs in terms of roles and responsibilities and that PMs should learn about both iterative & waterfall approach!

[@williammueller6639]

It's a great cert especially if you have no experience tbh but If you're responsible, somewhat organized, self starting, attentive w/foresight, inquisitive, planner and can communicate well with people plus keep a cool head this may interest you. All the terms and stuff will come in time from studying and going for certs. You're pretty much the main cog in a machine, but I think experience goes a long way due to working/coordinating with different people who pretty much will have an expectancy of reliance on you due to your position respectfully.

Thanks for posting the video @RecipeforSuccess I finished the course this week. I do have some project coordination experience but focused on evens/hospitality and wanted to change the focus. For me, it was worth it, as I did not have to pay (part of an unemployment plan), and wanted to explore this path. The course touched on theories but in my opinion, gives you hands on/step-by-step practices at the different life cycle stages. In the end, they offered discounts to seat for both CAPM and PMS-1, access to the Coursera job platform, 1 year of another platform that provides lessons and practices to different levels of interviews… I am not sure they will continue with these offerings, but since I did not hear about it in the video, decided to share.

Hi Edson! Thanks for the positive feedback - I hope this was helpful for you! Are you interested in project management or general management? If PM, this would be a low cost way of learning about project management methodology (i.e. $39.99/month) as long as you're comfortable spending that money without a guaranteed ROI/PM job. This could also help you decide if you like project management or not. If you ultimately are more interested in a PM job, given your experience, I would just start applying for project management roles and see if you get called in for interviews.

I took the course, but primarily to strengthen my resume for a specific job that is a tier higher than mine in my organization. It will be a few years before it comes available to apply for, but in the meantime it gives me time to further advance in the field (my workplace has a strong focus on Lean Six Sigma).

[@speciallove3284]

I’m currently taking this course. Does this cover lean six sigma?

[@KyleLovettKLPlaysGames]

@@speciallove3284 it's comes up briefly in a few places, but it isn't a huge focus

What would be the best path to PMP when it comes to courses and certificates? Let's say I start with the Google Coursera certificate then try to get a CAPM. What's next? Just wondering if anyone has some advice on this.

Hello Emma, Thank you for providing all the details for Google Project Management Certificate, Currently i am working as Business/Sales Analyst and planning to move my career in Project management. I had some few doubts it will be great if u help me with that ( anyone who's having answer for this also pls cmt it) " i can't find proper answer in anywhere ". My doubts are, 1. What are the roles & responsibilities of project management team in hierarchy basis like (junior BA > BA > junior PM > PM > PO) & the skills they need yo develop 2. Is the project manager or any one in the team of project management had to know the knowledge of coding/ program language skills in TECH domain. 3. What are the key certification those project management team persons had to pursue. 4. Is the project manager can able to switch domains like TECH to retail or any filed where there is need of project management. Thanks

[@user-or1xl1he1w]

Thanks for the sharing. But maybe you can take Google PM certificate first and give us deeper insight about the difference between PMP and Google certificate.

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

Good suggestion! I definitely wanted to help provide a framework around the differences in this video, but I'll definitely take that under advisement for a future video :)

[@anandsengupta1721]

Thanks much for throwing light on it. I was curious about it. So yes....then what's the point of doing it if teaches the same thing as PMI....develops its course content..in consultation with PMI etc etc.. Rather directly go for PMP instead.....and of course if one doesn't want just an 'add-on' sort of a certificate.

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

Hi Anand - Great question! I think there are a few different populations that the certification might be a good fit for: 1. If you don't have a bachelors and want to get into project management 2. If you're looking for an informational course (this is a reasonable cost for an actual course compared to what you would pay for the PMP test alone) 3. Those who want to learn about project management without committing too much money (ex. those looking to change industries, those in roles who could use some PM expertise but perhaps not a full on certification) 4. If you are already a PM, it seems like a cheap way to get the education hours required for the PMP. However if you already qualify for the PMP and are in-between the two, I would probably suggest the PMP personally. :)

[@CarlosSilva88]

Hello! Congratulations for the video! Really helpful! I’m a Brazilian English teacher. I’ve been thinking about changing area and I believe project management can help me, specially cause I speak English. How do you think it can help me? Thanks again!

[@dantaninaruseb1617]

Hi Carlos, My strong advice would be to dedicate about 3 days to intensely watching youtube videos on KZbin and reading comments like you are doing right now. 2. Buy yourself a black hardcover book and take notes of what you see on youtube and read in the comments. Writing things down is very powerful and therapeutic. 3. Decide whether you want to enroll in the course based on what you have read and seen. Trust me - base on what you wrote, I think you are due for a career change. Listen to your heart and run! Good luck Bro.

Google's Project Management Certificate program was totally worth it for me. I loved going through this program and everything I learned along the way. It's very informative, and I have grown so much throughout the program.

[@1anre]

This was a helpful video. I hope the data for those 130 companies Google has partnered with on accepting this Professional Certificate as an additional educational qualification, begins to show, so that folks taking this Cert don’t get discouraged. Looking forward to finishing it this year & hoping for the best.

[@RecipeforSuccess1]

@Lanre - me too! I hope at some point we'll also get some data specific to this certification so people can make a more informed decision. Glad you enjoyed this video.

[@ericnwachukwu2555]

Hi Lanre, can I get feedback from you on life after finishing the course? Were you able to get a remote job here in Nigeria?

[@1anre]

@@ericnwachukwu2555 My focus on taking the GPMPC was not to get a remote job but to get practical PM skills I could backup in job interviews as well as be a stepping stone for me in preparing to take the actual PMP exam. But I’d say it was a worthwhile investment of my time.

[@abisolaadeleke7636]

Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful and explanatory. I have a quick question though, I'm currently doing a project management course with Centre of Excellence and they're using concepts from the PMBOK, I wanted to know if it's valid as well and I go on and do the CAPM exam. I'm actually a nurse-midwife with 3yrs 9months experience and I took interest in project management earlier this year. Thank you

[@kosmas9995]

Because i am confused to get the google certificate you need 40 $ per month to have access on the plattform, how much do you pay after that to get tested? Capm is a one time payment for 350 $ plus if you want to pay for the exam preperation another 90 $ on Udemy. That makes a total of 440 $ for the CAPM. And also Capm needs to get renewal every 3 years how about the other one?

When ever you receive the certificate. Does it print out with Google information or coursera? I’m looking to possibly doing more coursera courses

[@0Kay57]

Would you recommend the google certification program over a University program (UCLA, CSUF, etc.)?
