Don't forget to smash the like button if you gained value out of today's video! Hope you found it helpful!
I got valuable information Thank you, from Ethiopia
So glad you found it helpful!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL SQUARED
Glad you found it helpful, Rebekah!
Sounds like the best plan is to audit the courses you want to learn for free, then enroll for a month to knock out the certs?
does that work?
True
did you try?
Great video for someone that is new to the platform. Thanks Alvin. I am primarily looking at their Cyber Security Certs(I am currently a Database Admin). I think this platform looks like it will definitely be worth the $399 price tag.
So glad you found the video helpful! Absolutely recommend investing into yourself, because the ROI you'll get back with earning a higher salary once you land the next job, will be well worth it!
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.
Hi Alvin, thanks for sharing this video, actually my English level not really that's much high, so I have a question, can I enroll into 3 courses with my free trial account (7 Days) and still get certificates by the end of finishing these courses?
Do you want 1 year Coursera plus for 1K INR?
@@palindrome4737 Yes
All courses are well worth it I have taken many of their courses even things I never would have taken.
That's so awesome to hear, which courses were the best ones that you took?
my only main question is are the certificate's real? and would they truly hold up on a resume or in a interview trying to land a job?
I assume so as even if you just go for the google ones the Coursea platform is also affiliated with universities even on the "Ivy" tier. That should hold SOME weight. Especially in this economy.
If you do land an interview it's then up to you but I do think the certs should help you get your foot in the door.
YEs and yes
sir i have a many question, did coursera plus can access all of the course and will get the certificate? and if I checkout from a course which is not coursera plus, can I access all of the course? and what is differences between coursera plus, coursera original, and coursera lite? thanks
hey does coursera courses are up to date for 2024??? im interested in studying Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialization
I haven't taken Coursera's SEO Course, but what I can see from the courses that I have taken on the platform, they do their best to maintain the relevancy for the current year
ok thank you!@@alvinthepmofficial
Yes
Not sure if it’s just me but I have cousera plus and it’s still tryna charge me extra $49 each for the certificates. Anyone else have this problem?
Are you sure that the courses that you take are included with Coursera plus?, because there are too many that are not included and you have to pay for it
Certificates are included with course
Unlimited certificates
Coursera Plus
Unlimited access to 7,000+ world-class courses, hands-on projects, and job-ready certificate programs-all included in your subscription
Earn a certificate for every learning program that you complete at no additional cost
pay no attention to the display asking for payment that is for people who do not have Coursera +
@@eddiemontgomery3196are you sure?
If you get the coursera plus and want the google analytics certificate can it be linked to my Linkedin profile and added to my resume ?
Yes, you should be able to add your Google Analytics certificate to your LinkedIn Profile and resume
Hi Alvin I like your channel. I like the way you differentiate between Project Management or Scum Master.
So glad you're enjoying my videos and channel!
Do you think these would help me get A job without a degree and just using the certificates?
Having a certificate vs no certificate will always help you with getting a job. Having a degree, plus a certificate, will also significantly be helpful.
Do you have to have a high school diploma to take cosmetic courses on coursera
From reviewing the Coursera website, I didn't see a requirement for high school diploma. I recommend checking it out, if it's something you're interested in!
No you do not. Here is a great full course
The Specialization course --- 1. Introduction to Cosmetic Science and Ingredients Specialization
or Take them all separate 4 course series
1. Introduction to Cosmetic and Skincare Science
Course 1 13 hours
2. Cosmetic Formulation Science
Course 2 10 hours
3. Cosmetic Product Development
Course 3 12 hours
4. Quality Control and Regulatory in Cosmetic Science
Course 4 9 hours
You will receive a certificate for each course plus another for the Specialization
In the end you still you will receive a Specialization Certificate of completion for the entire course
If I take up a course then will it help me get a job? Are any of the courses placement assisted?
No one can get you a job only you can.
Which course do you want to take and what kind of job are you trying to get.
@@eddiemontgomery3196 I'm looking for a CIA job specifically what Jason Bourne or James Bond does (more align to James Bond due to more glamorous life)
@@eddiemontgomery3196 yup! I just hired myself to the position of Founder of my multi billion company!!
just curious if you got your PMP from Coursera?
That is separate and from a different entity
The PMP is a separate certification that you study and take through an organization called PMI (Project Management Institute).
So if I plan to completely 2 courses for 3 months of summer. Can I just pay for 2 months and then cancel, still I can get the certificate?
Yes, if you choose the Monthly option, you can cancel at any time and get your certificate (as long as you finish the programs before you cancel your monthly subscription). Hope that helps!
Yes
thank you so much for the reply. Helpful video
Look more like an ads then a valuable video
So sorry to hear that! It's my intent to genuinely share my own experience using Coursera, how it helped me pivot careers from Engineering to Project Management, and why I believe it's a valuable program that can help anyone transition to becoming a Project Manager. At the end of the video, I also share a roadmap of courses to help maximize using Coursera, if you decide to use it to advance your career as a Project Manager. For complete transparency, this video is NOT sponsored by Coursera, and I'm sharing how I would use it if I was just starting out in my career. It's my intent to share advice that I wish I had when I was starting out in my field , so you and so many other people can learn from all of my mistakes, and hopefully, grow in your career faster than I was able to.

The video is NOT sponsored by Coursera, I genuinely am sharing my own experience using Coursera over the past years, and how it helped me break into project management. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
@@alvinthepmofficial The links are affiliate links, which is not disclosed.
@@alvinthepmofficialdo they charge you for the certificate at the end or is that included with the plus subscription?
I think you didn’t spend enough time on what people actually want to to know. Does this stuff actually get you hired witihin reasonable expectations.
Not just some one off person who got a job out of a thousand
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.
@@alvinthepmofficialkind of a bot reply
