Has anyone done the google project management course? I’ve read mix reviews and I’m trying to get into project management and I’m not sure about the best route to take. Currently revamping my resume to apply for associate pm and project coordinator positions. What route has been the most successful for you guys? All help is appreciated.

I completed the Google PM course back in May. I would say that completing the course was not the sole reason I was able to get my current role as an APM Consultant. I’ve also had no prior experience in PM and just graduated from college in May. The Google PM course was good for me because I learned the basics of PM and after you complete it, they give you a few discounts for other professional PM certificates. The caveat is that you could audit the course for free and learn the concepts, but you wouldn’t be able to complete the quizzes and exams which you need to complete if you want certificates of completion. I ultimately ended up paying $39.99 a month to receive the certificates to add it to my LinkedIn

Hi Guys!
I am a Senior SF Admin with 9 years of SF experience. Mostly I look after a team consisting of Admins and do all usual Admin stuff plus BA/Consultant work.

Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.
