Don't forget to SMASH the Like button if you enjoyed or gained value out of today's video! Hope this helped you decide which Certification to pursue, if you're trying to break into Project Management and start a career as a Project Manager. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!
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.
@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!
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.
@drdanielpassini, thank you for sharing your own experience with the Google PM Cert! I agree as well, good luck studying for your CAPM Exam and passing it in 2024!
Hey man have you given the exam ??
I got the CAPM and intend to roll into the PMP within the next 18 months.
@TrophyNuts, nice work with passing your CAPM Exam, good luck with preparing for the PMP Exam!
I did both
Finish the google certification course it took me 2 weeks. After that Google gave me 125 to take the CAPM and studied for about a month. Took the test on 1/4/24 amd passed it
Will take the PMP I'm 6 months
That's so awesome, nice work with passing your CAPM Certification! Good luck studying for your PMP Certification!
@@alvinthepmofficial Thank you very much!
Do you get a discount code if you finish Coursera 's PM , for CAPM certification?
Hi Alvin thanks for the good advice l currently doing CAPM along with Prince 2 Foundation & Practitioner , Prince 2 Agile so working my way to becoming an aspiring project manager in 2024. Continue to motivate and aspire us.
@markbrown4699, Thank you for sharing that, and it's awesome to hear the certifications you plan to take in the upcoming year- CAPM and Prince 2. You're absolutely on the right track, and I wish you the best of luck with landing the PM job in 2024!
Good discussion on Google vs CAPM indeed! Expecting a similar discussion on "CAPM vs PRINCE2" - their similarities/differences, employability scores etc.
@aryeslahiry2365, glad you found the video a good discussion! Will look into adding that topic of CAPM vs PRINCE 2 as a future video to my list
I am actually following these steps that you mentioned at rhe end
Awesome, I'm glad you found the video helpful!!
Thanks for the resources helping me in my studies.
My pleasure!
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.
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.
Hello) and thanks for so great building information /
My pleasure
I took the Google PM and now I'm studying for the CAPM. Google was much more engaging and enjoyable and I felt like I learned a lot more but the CAPM is preferred on your resume.
Thanks for sharing your experience, good luck studying for your CAPM Exam!!
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.
Well said, you can definitely do both simultaneously!
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 CZcams and after listening to you I am damn sure about my decision now. Thanks. It really helped me a lot.
SO glad my video was able to help out! Good luck with pursuing both certifications, you got this!
What do you recommend us?
Is there an examination after taking the Google project management course to obtain the certification?
What about IBM PM certificate?
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.
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
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?
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: czcams.com/video/gRgZmeZFw-M/video.htmlsi=UPF7474enf2zNQUm
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??
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
Where did you guys get your 23hours of education ?
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.
@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!
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 ?
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: czcams.com/video/sKLkG-pTD-U/video.htmlsi=ZwMdAVJ0gY1HZ665
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
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.
How ro prepare for CAPM exam, should I take the CAPM Prep course offered by PM Institute?
From reviews I read from others, it may not be the best investment. I haven't personally taken PMI's course, so I can't give you my own experience with it.
If you'd like to learn resources that I've used to pass my CAPM Exam, you can check out my video here: czcams.com/video/gRgZmeZFw-M/video.htmlsi=KAYH4UyNbj3ablqc
@@alvinthepmofficial Thanks for this, also should I really take CAPM exam or straight away go for PMP exam?
how do we show 23hr studies? to be eligible for the the capm? Do we need to take paid course of it?
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).
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?
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: czcams.com/video/gRgZmeZFw-M/video.htmlsi=eqjfwLVOEswRHdbp
I tried the google certificate and received no traction.
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.
I got the PMI-Ready… is it worth anything?
@Umlaut95, I haven't personally taken PMI-Ready before, and unfortunately can't say how valuable the content is. If it's from PMI, I still encourage you to list it on your resume, to help with your job search
Was that Thomas the Tank Engine music at the end there?
Haha, I don't think so, the song is actually by Kevin Macleod called Breaktime. As someone who plays the piano, I liked how it sounded upbeat and positive. Btw, I grew up on Thomas the Tank Engine when I was a kid, brings back good memories!
from where i can find jobs for myself as i am capm certified?
I encourage you to look at companies that you're interested in, in the industry you want to work in (aerospace, aviation, construction, IT, manufacturing, finance, etc). If not, try LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other similar ones
@@alvinthepmofficial thanks for your valuable feedback. I will try this.
For CAPM, will PMI offer me the study material after my registration?
After you register for the Exam, PMI does not give you free study material. You have to obtain these separately, outside of PMI's support. For all the resources I recommend to pass the CAPM Exam, watch this video here (I outline everything I used score Above Target in All Domains): czcams.com/video/u_Feyppesqo/video.htmlsi=vpLIErJO71M-nUb9
Thank you, i will check @@alvinthepmofficial
I'm pursuing Google PM and I've PMD-Pro, so your advice which is very high opportunity and better PMD-Pro and CAPM?
CAPM ALL DAY.
Nice work!
