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

Very informative. Did not realize there was more in order to get the certificate. Need to be more transparent with the actual course agenda and allow for a less controlled way to get thru the courses.

I love how easy to follow this course is. I find the Android application to be much better than the iphone app. It would be nice if you didnt have to log on to the laptop to complete some tests though.
