    Remember people, it doesn't matter where you learn what you learn. Results are the only meaningful truths. Will you be able to provide something to the company you wanna work for, by studying through Coursera ( or any platform for that matter )? If the answer is yes, and if Coursera is what would motivate you and help you to study, then that is your path to success. Always use what you feel motivated by ( but also be mindful of scams, obviously coursera is not a scam ).

That’s how the sound feels like, I keep focusing on your voice since I’m interested in what you’re saying but the sound gets mixed in, it doesn’t blend well with your calming voice and it’s distracting.

    It depends. If you have plenty of time and determination to finish many courses, the plus is worth it. Although I am determined, but I don't have much time. I can only finish one course a month.

However, one of the most terrible features you will encounter is peer-review grading. If I'm lucky, I only get trolled two or three times, which means that it always happens that one person will give you the maximum points, and another will give you zero points, even if you are right. This can lead to failing that part, causing you to be late in achieving the certificate. This makes me so angry. If I'm not lucky, I need to resubmit many times to pass this.

      Thank you so much for the honest feedback! I did my best to share my own honest experience using Coursera to pivot careers from Engineering to Project Management, and what courses I would take if I was just starting out in my career. I'll definitely incorporate your comments into another video if I make another review of other similar courses or programs. Much appreciated!

      You are searching for miracles, there are many schools out there who say that they can offer
      you assistance in finding a job, its based on bs. Take your courses and add them up only add the ones that are needed, and you have to sell your self in a interview to get the job no one else can do it for you
      What kind of job do you want I will tell the basic skill set you need and which courses you should take.

    hi Alvin - Thanks for another great video. I remember that months or even years ago, you showed 2 courses focused on PMO (Project Management Office) in Coursera. I simply cannot find that video. Could you please share the link here again. Thanks so much.

      Project Management Course is well worth it and you can take US certification for free.

    I just want to warn everyone that I paid $100 USD out of pocket for an amazon certificate that I passed the test for and obtained and still have not received any difference in job applications in job application responses or oppurtinities.

    If I buy the coursera plus (60+ dollars I think), are the certificates included or do I need to pay more?

      Yes, if you get the Coursera Plus option, you will have access to get the Certificates for each course you take through Coursera.
