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

Curso ótimo para quem deseja mudar de área. O primeiro curso, apesar de introdutório, já nos apresenta bastante conceitos e temos a sensação de realmente estar aprendendo algo, e não apenas mais um curso para "fazer volume".
