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.

[drdanielpassini]

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.

[neljtorres]

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

[digambargawali]

Yes as per my view both certifications are ready to elevate your PM courier but firstly get start with google certification because it would be more useful to create base for capm exam as well as it may have an hands on assignment work which will help to crack capm exam successfully👍

Good discussion on Google vs CAPM indeed! Expecting a similar discussion on "CAPM vs PRINCE2" — their similarities/differences, employability scores etc.

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.

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.

[intentionalgreatness]

I was literally just debating this..thank you. I'm pivoting into tech and am strongly considering project management.

[JennErmyMedia]

I got the CAPM and intend to roll into the PMP within the next 18 months.

My local library had a program this year sponsoring enrollment into any of the grow with google certs, so I have been fortunate in not having to pay for Coursera. 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.

[jlueb]

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.

[cedricm]

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)

[Babynate]

I am actually following these steps that you mentioned at rhe end

[ameetshrestha]

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 YouTube and after listening to you I am damn sure about my decision now. Thanks. It really helped me a lot.

[markbrown]

Thanks for the resources helping me in my studies.

[MatthewEaton]

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.

[whimai]

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.

[azizmech]

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?

[RahulSingh]

I am a certified PMP. Looking for my next certification. Please guide me which certification should I do next?
