    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

      @colin1818 3 роки тому +31

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have a PMP and recently changed PM jobs. I will say that unless you are entry level I would caution anyone doing this right now. If you look at job postings for PMs they don't ask for this certificate as required or preferred but the do ask for the PMI credentials. So unless companies start asking for this certificate on job postings or if Google has a track record about helping applicants out it feels like a money grab. I am curious if anyone has completed this and received a PM role due to this certificate.

    • @RecipeforSuccess1
      @RecipeforSuccess1  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Alan - you and I arrived at a similar conclusion (which I pointed out in this video): there isn't any current stats to prove an ROI and I also couldn't find any job roles that listed this as a qualification. That being said, for individuals who are able to take this course for free or want a low-cost option to learn about PM (and have the cash to spare!) this might be a good solution. Hopefully, a viewer will be able to circle back with us and let us know their outcomes post-graduation!

      Hi Saksham - I like this strategy! If I were you, I would look into a few training options for CAPM and compare prices/courses. Currently, It looks like the Google Course qualifies for the education hours for the CAPM and seems like it would be a reasonably priced option. I would also double check with PMI that they will accept those education hours and make sure to read through PMBOK. For full transparency, I haven't personally done this, so I can't say with 100% certainty that it'll get you through your CAPM, but it seems reasonable to try this approach. I hope that helps!

      Even if you don't fully meet the years of experience requirements I'd still apply. That's one of the first things hiring managers are likely to look past. ESPECIALLY with obvious entry level positions. Now, if the job is asking for 15 years in a specific field for a Sr. Lead Project Manager - yea, you're probably out of your depth. But if the job is asking for 2-3 years of experience then go ahead and submit your application. Because a lot of the people that already have 2-3 years of experience are applying for the jobs asking for 4-5 years of experience. Eventually somebody will bite on your application.

      Hi Vinay - Google doesn't make any promises but I believe all the companies in the consortium are U.S. based. Plus, coming from another country you'll need a company that's willing to sponsor your visa (assuming you need an H1-B and are not a U.S. citizen).

    Hello and thank you kindly for the information in this video. I'm an entry level project coordinator with 4 years of experience, and am studying to become a scrum master. Would the Google Project Mgmt Certificate help me in my quest to become a scrum master? kindly advise. Many thanks in advance. 🙏🙏🙏

    You gotta be careful, 'cause if this Google Certification is based on PMI Guidelines, PMBok changed to the new version (Version 7) just like a week ago, so it will change the content (a few or a lot, I don't even know) and also the way companies will see this kind of "Certification".
    Besides this, if PMbok is recently released doing a CAPM exam could be quite different comparing the new version with the old one.
