Great streamline course to help re-fresh project management knowledge. It also helped to reinforce that everyone has done project management in their lives and teaches you how to bring your new skills into the job market. I really like their job hunting tips and tools and I feel like this course has also helped me gain more confidence in this space.

A lot of this resonated with what I already do, but I really appreciated the assessments in particular. It wasn't just repeating the information from the materials, but actually thinking about how to apply it to particular contexts. I found this really engaging and would recommend it to anyone dipping their toe into the world of project management.

Excellent course. I enjoyed the content. The practical usage of the material was instantaneous. I work with three non-profits and I produce live theatre shows.
I have seen an increase in my productivity on all fronts. Plus, I am now motivated to take a professional pivot and interview for a corporate project manager position. Onto the SCRUM course.

The course is very thorough and very relevant to beginners in the area like me. I recommend it 100% to management professionals from any area who are looking to gain a lot of insight in their daily practice as it gives us a theoretical understanding of how we are always applying PM skills and knowledge on a regular basis without even knowing that.

Highly enjoyable course! The instructor did a fantastic job, 10/10! I love how the course began with accountability by signing a document that you are going to finish the certificate. Also, checking off that you're ready is very motivating. The videos and readings are short and greatly informative, which keeps you engaged. Amazing job Google team!

Even though it's only an introduction to Project Management, the course is packed with relevant and comprehensive information on the topic. I appreciate that the discussions and speakers have always been giving practical examples, and even tips and guidance on how to transition to this career path. I'm looking forward to moving to the next course!

Very solid into course- well organized and presented. If you have been a PM for years, but never took a formal training course (like me) this will tell you a lot of stuff you already know, but that's not a bad thing! Especially good if you need a refresh or want to learn from scratch as well. Lots of advice for folks newer to the industry as well.

Very good course for setting a foundations for Project Management, just like the title says. I liked the instructor, the way he spoke is really good and of high quality, with nice pronunciation so I was able to listen even at a faster rate. This course really scratched a surface of the Project Management in a good way and I can't wait to continue.

I like the way the course is organized and keeps the learner engaged. I especially appreciate being able to read along with the video transcripts. A few unnecessarily tricky questions, but overall I feel that I have been able to connect with my past and current experiences and have learned a lot. Looking forward to the next courses in the series!

Everything was very well laid out and the instructor/guests were great. Love the option to follow along with text at the bottom and highlight for notes.
Some technical issues. Some writing prompts gave me error messages when trying to submit, also had a glitch where text would copy and paste itself while I was typing and would not let me erase it.

Altogether a great first course with very detailed descriptions about project management. I was able to reinforce what I already knew and learn more about project methodologies and organizational culture. (Those were a couple of topics I thought were interesting). I had a fun time learning and look forward to participating in the upcoming courses.

So far the courses for the Google Project management professional certificate are great. Well put together and informative. The first course, foundations of project management has some good information and ideas and definately geared to someone just starting out. But still a good review and some good thought-provoking ideas for a seasoned PM.

Well thought out and professionally presented. Meaningful exercises.
Google admirably met the challenge of providing a 'survey' of Project Management while also preparing students with the 'pillars' or 'underpinning' of PM.
One can choose to slide through without engaging in the optional work, but if one does, they're just cheating themselves.

This course was extremely helpful in building my core knowledge in the domain of project management. It was a compact course which didn't skip anything. All the terminologies that are in use today and every project manager should know were compiled and available for download. This course was great and I can not wait to complete my other courses.

As a former educator transitioning into the corporate role, I found this course to be a solid foundation. It's helped me recognize the parallels between education and project management. I realized I had many strong skills suited to the project management role, and I look forward to building on these foundations in the following Google courses.
