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

This course is very insightful. Most likely you've already been doing all these things but didn't know the right terminology for it all. I love this course and can't wait to complete the rest.

I learned how much I already knew. By having it quantified to PM terms, I feel confident in doing the other courses. I'm simply learning a language for a skillset I've already been enacting.

Good pace, informative and overall great experience. Quick recommendation though to include Risk Management topic in this course or if already covered in the next 5 course, then all is well.
