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

I'm thrilled, and I can't wait to start with the second phase. All those concepts made me more and more interested on the subject since day 1. I wonder why I didn't start before. And the course is well realized, subjects clearly explained, interesting small videos from real people involved in the job. Wow !

Learning Foundations of Project Management on Google was the best step I took. Google provides clear and detailed course materials which are easy to understand. Gives room for discussions and interaction with learners and tutors. Also provides other resources to add learning and access job opportunities.

"Project Management Foundations" provided a solid introduction. Explored project lifecycles, methodologies (Waterfall, Agile), and the project manager's role. I found the soft skills emphasis (communication, teamwork) surprising but valuable. Agile methodologies pique my interest for further exploration.

Provided a good initial layout of the key tenets of project management. The videos and explanations are concise, and hit the key points without unduly long and drawn out explanations. I can appreciate this focus on keeping the message tight and at a good tempo to avoid getting bogged down and repetitive.
