Overall, I like how the course flow allows employed course-takers like me to have sovereignty over the phasing. I can study when I have extra time. I also like how the course is very well planned from the videos to the reading materials and quizzes.

O curso superou minhas expectativas na questão de conteúdo e apresentação.

So far, so good! I've learned a lot, and the content is presented in a very understandable way. Prior to this course I used to think that project management was a really difficult area to get into, even though I'd always wanted to do it.

Not anymore!

Spannende Einleitung in den Kurs, man kann sich erst mal in das gesamte Thema reinfinden. Es dauert meistens eher weniger lange als angegeben und durch die gute Abwechlung zwischen Video/ lesen/ schreiben/ Quizzes/ Aufgaben wird es nicht langweilig.

Much material was covered. i liked that it was relatable and the testimonials from current Giiigle employees that had transitioned into the roles from other careers was valuable. These stories added variety and complemented the videos and readings.

This course was awesome. It was much better than the books I have been reading on the subject. I spent hours in Barnes and Noble and in school struggling with this topic. Your instructors make this course fun and I am glad I purchased this course.
