I took the Google cert first and then the CAPM (using Alvin’s resources) a few months later. They do compliment one another very well. I am currently studying for the PMP and can’t wait to crush it.

@alvinthepmofficial 7 месяцев назад

@YAHdassah, thank you for sharing your experience with the Google and CAPM Certifications! Good luck with the PMP Exam, you're going to crush it!

@drdanielpassini 7 месяцев назад

Personally, I took the Google PM cert and both enjoyed it and learned a lot since I do not have experience in PM. Plus, the hands on assignments are helpful and the templates you get are great tools for later. But I am using that as my required hours and I’m currently studying for the CAPM. In my own searches PMI certainly seem to be the most desirable. So, I agree do both.

As a newbie to the PM field I have found the google cert to be an awesome introduction! Like others have said I also plan to take the CAPM after completing the google cert.

@clabpr79 5 месяцев назад

I’m a Business Analyst and I’m taking the Google PM certificate to add PM in my skills and help me to be more organized , not really to work as a PM. I really like how google created this course I’m learning a lot and is helping me as a BA and also to manage small-medium projects in the future because there are Hybrid BA roles to work as a BA/PM.

@alvinthepmofficial 5 месяцев назад

Nice work with adding the Google PM Certificate to your experience, super helpful, especially since you'll be pursuing Hybrid BA Roles, where you'll do a combination of BA and PM work.

Is there an examination after taking the Google project management course to obtain the certification?

@whimai412 3 месяца назад

Lol the thing is, it sounds like both. Do Google first and then the other after. XD But I guess you could do both simultaneously. I have some work experience with some project management, so I think i will start with the google cert and see how it goes.

@alvinthepmofficial 3 месяца назад

Well said, you can definitely do both simultaneously!

@ameetshrestha6424 2 месяца назад

I was exploring the certifications when I found out about both. After doing some research I was making up mind that I should take both certifications as they are equally worth anyone's time and money. I came across your video on RU-vid and after listening to you I am damn sure about my decision now. Thanks. It really helped me a lot.

@rebecaparedesperez5298 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the info. I would like to know if there are some part of the certification where I would have to write an essay or write in a professional/academic way? I asked this because english is not my first language, and I have to consider if the certifications assess level of knowledge, or assess level of grammar. I hope you know what I mean. Regards from MX.

@alvinthepmofficial 3 месяца назад

When you apply for the CAPM Certification or take the exam, you do not need to write an essay. The exam is strictly multiple choice with other variations of question types, but not essay

Where did you guys get your 23hours of education ?

@RPMReports 2 месяца назад

Im just lost. Fresh out of school graduate, studied computer engineering. I don't have a job or any work experience. Searching for something to do and came across this project management. I don't know if its something i can venture in as a complete beginner. Can i land job after this courses and certification? Or would I still have to go over and start a job and work my way up to being a project manager? Help please

@alvinthepmofficial 2 месяца назад

You can absolutely land a job as a complete beginner in Project Management, I've worked many entry-level project managers who were fresh graduates from college (meaning zero experience beforehand). I encourage you to start looking into the industries you want to apply for, research the companies you're interested in, and start applying.

@mayumichan2276 7 месяцев назад

I studied project management for 1 year and want to pursue career in it but I have a doubt.. my background is arts not engineering or it.. is there still a scope for me??

@alvinthepmofficial 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your experience! Absolutely 100%, yes, I believe that you can still pursue a career as a Project Manager. I have actually worked with other Project Managers, who do NOT have a degree in Engineering, but have risen the ranks to be a Project Manager and even higher (Manager to even Director levels). I encourage you to start applying to entry-level roles in Project Management to get your foot in the door, and to take advantage of any opportunities that come your way

@devkarrr8360 4 месяца назад

Hello Sir, I really appreciate your efforts for creating this intensive video on camparison which helped me alot to understand the difference. However I need to know if I am eligible for PMI PMP or not? I have spent last 2 years as an Assistant training manager in a BPO and before that 1 year as a trainer. Does that fulfills the eligibility to appear for the exam if I just complete 23 hours PDU as suggested by PMI ?

@alvinthepmofficial 4 месяца назад

To qualify for taking the PMP Exam, you need 3 years of managing projects. Refer to my video here with how to fill out the PMP Application, to see if you have the right experience or not: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKLkG-pTD-U.htmlsi=ZwMdAVJ0gY1HZ665

@jesaldalal2148 6 месяцев назад

how do we show 23hr studies? to be eligible for the the capm? Do we need to take paid course of it?

@alvinthepmofficial 6 месяцев назад

For the 23 hours requirement, you can use any educational course taught at a university, in-person course, or online platform (such as Coursera or Udemy). I'd encourage you to choose the ones that give a certificate at the end of it (such as Udemy or Coursera), so you can leverage it, in case your application gets audited (not likely, but just to err on the safe side).

@bradleydeku7456 2 месяца назад

Does taking Google’s course prepare me for CAPM? Or is the there separate learning i need to do. I have 2 months free and would like to be CAPM certified by the end, and dont mind having both. I am willing and able to study intensively for long about 6 hours each day. What is the best way to approach this?

@alvinthepmofficial 2 месяца назад

Bradley, the Google Course will give you a very strong foundation in project management, and would recommend taking it. Just keep in mind that the CAPM Certification will test your knowledge in ways that the Google Course will not test you on. If you'd like a study plan to pass your CAPM Exam, check out my other video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRgZmeZFw-M.htmlsi=eqjfwLVOEswRHdbp

Actually, I started the Google program way fast than you thought, I started the program in 28th of March 2024 and Now I am really in Module 3 in Planning course, I am really enjoying that, but my question is: Which is better applying for CAPM Exam or PMP Exam after completing the program?

@alvinthepmofficial 4 месяца назад

That's awesome, glad to hear you're progressing fast through the program! If you already meet the minimum 3 years of work experience managing projects professionally, then I'd recommend going straight for the PMP Exam. If you do not meet this experience, then go for the CAPM Exam. Watch this video I made about how to pass the CAPM Exam for more detail on that exam: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRgZmeZFw-M.htmlsi=UPF7474enf2zNQUm

Most of people who made the choice of Google Project management certificate will try to take CAPM later….so defintely, Google PM is not a certificate recognized by the companies, the kings are still CAPM,PMP (and Prince 2 but especially in UK)

@user-vs5nm8vs4o 7 месяцев назад

I tried the google certificate and received no traction.

@alvinthepmofficial 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your experience! I know that not everyone lands a job with the google program and that everyone's mileage will differ. I like to think of the Google Program as something that will help start or build your knowledge, if you're just getting started in Project Management, so you can be well versed when you start applying to jobs. Depending on your experience and the roles & industry you're interested in, I'd encourage you to go for the CAPM Certification and/or Agile or Scrum Certifications, to help you stand out on your resume with the jobs you're applying to.

@intentionalgreatness 3 дня назад

I was wondering about this.

@MatthewEaton 7 месяцев назад

I have to admit that while the Google course was decent (finished it in a week to get it "for free"), it didn't have the same weight as the PMI material. Half of the Google course was more about Google's policies than it was about actual project management. This is fine because the course was created to train people in the Google way. However, not every company is Google. To be honest, I have been told by my employer that they will never seek a project manager and that I "wasted my time," but that's okay. I'll just find another company that will appreciate what I can do and I will keep learning, see if I can get that Agile cert or get the SCRUM master setup.

@alvinthepmofficial 7 месяцев назад

@MatthewEaton, thanks for sharing your own experiences taking the Google Course. And, you're right, not every company is Google. It's unfortunate that your employer isn't looking for a Project Manager at this time. If that's the case, I encourage you to look at other companies in your area for Project Manager roles, because there are definitely companies out there needing PMs (from entry level to mid and senior). Keep going, and don't get discouraged by what your employer said. If I had stayed at my first company, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't have been able to pivot into Project Management. You got this!
