Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

The first two weeks of the course picked up slow because they had to share the basics. It was slow for me because I was already familiar with project management. But BOY! It picked up in Weeks 3 and 4. I learned SO much and found the exercises to be insightful.
My recommendation is to take plenty of notes because you will need to return to this information one day.

I appreciate learning about what a Project Manager needs to bring to any project. Soft skills are required, as well as technical skills. This course broadened my vision of a PM and highlighted the areas I need to work on before jumping into a Project as a PM. It also boosted my confidence and helped me identify skills I currently have to keep pursuing this career.

A complete and essential course for those who wish to boost their career and particularly have never had contact with project management.
Week 3 is a must, approaching Project Life Cycle and its breakdown concisely and objectively.

Very streamlined and easy to understand. I have been doing project management work for 4 years now but it was more of a learn on the field kind of deal ever since. Learning the fundamentals through this course definitely help me familiarize my self more with the concepts of what it is I really do. A lot of learnings to enhance my practices as well moving forward.

The course provides skills, knowledge that you can immediately use.
I found the presentations to be very professional and engaging. They very much encourage you to consider the importance and value project management brings to an organisation. Indeed, I find myself applying the nuggets of information to ongoing projects in my own workplace.
Its highly recommended.

Si è rivelato MOLTO interessante e utile, anche se io già lavoro stabilmente in una organizzazione nella quale ho maturato gran parte delle esperienze che ho potuto riscontrare nel corso, il quale mi ha fornito spunti di riflessione, catalogazione, ordine e workflow corretti per poter inquadrare e sviluppare le competenze per svolgere semrpe meglio il ruolo di PM

The course effectively introduced the field of project management to a novice like me. Despite being fed with so many project management-related jargons, I was able to get a good grasp of the subject matter and feel like I'm ready to take on further studies to master project management. Thank you for crafting such a beginner-friendly yet knowledge-filled course!

A thorough introduction to project management! I think that the instructional designers did a wonderful job on this course. Videos were no more than 7 minutes, there were plenty of interactive activities to check understanding, and each quiz was challenging but attainable. I left course 1 with lots of new ideas, notes, and excitement about a new career journey.

Foundations of Project Management (Course 1) was a really great overview of what the field of project management is, what a project manager's general role is when working on any given project, the overall project lifecycle and methods/strategies to managing a project. This course provided me with a wonderful starting point...excited to jump into Course 2 next!

A pesar de estar en inglés, se entiende perfectamente y me gustó además los tips que enseñan para la búsqueda de empleo. A pesar de ser PM desde hace algunos años, este curso me recordó la prácticas básicas del rol de forma sencilla pero completa. El curso está muy bien diseñado!!! Ahora... a traducirlo al español (con tantas herramientas no debe ser difÃcil).

For a new comer like me jumping into this certificate was not challenging at all. the course is very well detailed and the additional resources help better understand the course materials as well. The videos are great and the practice interactive assignments are great too!. I highly recommend for those who have no background or knowledge of Project Management.

Very concise, full of information, and easy to digest. It seems to touch on all points of project management so you get a good scope of role and field. I love the way it was broken down between the videos and readings. I also very much enjoyed the videos from Google team members! They are full of insightful tips and tidbits. Overall, really great first course.

I recommend this course to everyone.

I'm open for the content as it's extended. New learning is always welcomed and I'm surprised to learn how project management has been in my sphere and I didn't know it. Light -bulb moment. also I'm not a PM currently however having the terms applicable to the functions has been an eye opener on leveraging what I currently do and adding PM as a proficent skill.

The course was insightful, but not overwhelming. It provided great information on the concepts and methodologies involved in Project Management, as well as assisted in helping to identify which of my current job skills directly correlated with those required of a PM. I look forward to continuing to learn about both the skills and the roles of a successful PM.

This course opened my eyes to things about my past experiences that i had taken for granted. I now understand that I could leverage on my past skills and exposure to present myself as a Project manager.
It is a course of true self discovery . Thanks to the instructor who took out time to explicitly laid bare the nitty gritty of Project Management Foundations
