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.

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

Good course. Explanations and definitions are clear. I like how they have real people sharing their experience and knowledge about project management and how they apply it to real world situations. I'm ready for the next five courses.

This is the best educational style I like. Listening to video lectures, sharing experiences from google gurus, reading rich with information, and quizzes full of challenge. I hope that the next courses be at the same high-class level.

Loved this course, and how you can work at your own speed. I also enjoyed how the information was presented. The only thing I'd change is to maybe have a instructor that we can email questions to. Thank you for this opportunity. :)

Really well put together, as a result the information is absorbed and understood with ease.

The examples to illustrate to the student are simple yet very effective.

The course has the right amount of videos VS reading VS questionairs.

It seems to me an excellent and complete course. It guides you from the most basic to the most professional. Although you may already know some things, the course helps you to give each one a name and meaning. I think it's complete.
