thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to enroll this Google project management certification. But, I am not able to pay for the program because I have no money even to sustain myself. Why

El curso es demasiado directo, práctico y bueno. Me gustó toda la información que se brinda y la forma tan sencilla y amigable en que se abarca. Solo hubo un ligero error en un cuestionario en la semana 4 que ya reporté, pero fuera de eso todo excelente.

Awesome course which will give a lot of exposure to what project manager is what are his responsibilities. Even if you dont want to be a project manager, I recommend everyone to try this course as there is so much more to it that you can only experience.

Great course with significant and strong foundational skills. I enjoy how the course explains the importance of a strong foundation and even highlights how individuals already have a base knowledge of project management by their everyday life activities.

The course was well organized, very well thought out, and a good combination of videos, reading and hands on. I think it touched on quite a few great foundational topics that will set the stage for more in depth responsibilities that go with being a PM.

I enjoyed learning things in this course, as it shined a light on some of the things, I have done, but never knew that they were part of the fundation of being a project manager. I learn also a number of things I did not know. It was very enjoyable.
