It depends. If you have plenty of time and determination to finish many courses, the plus is worth it. Although I am determined, but I don't have much time. I can only finish one course a month. What I did is to apply financial aid and I am only paying for 5 bucks per course. Still you can never go wrong for investing in your learning.

@valentinrafael9201 24 күн бұрын
Remember people, it doesn't matter where you learn what you learn. Results are the only meaningful truths. Will you be able to provide something to the company you wanna work for, by studying through Coursera ( or any platform for that matter )? If the answer is yes, and if Coursera is what would motivate you and help you to study, then that is your path to success. Always use what you feel motivated by ( but also be mindful of scams, obviously coursera is not a scam ).

I assume so as even if you just go for the google ones the Coursea platform is also affiliated with universities even on the "Ivy" tier. That should hold SOME weight. Especially in this economy. If you do land an interview it's then up to you but I do think the certs should help you get your foot in the door.

So sorry to hear that! It's my intent to genuinely share my own experience using Coursera, how it helped me pivot careers from Engineering to Project Management, and why I believe it's a valuable program that can help anyone transition to becoming a Project Manager. At the end of the video, I also share a roadmap of courses to help maximize using Coursera, if you decide to use it to advance your career as a Project Manager. For complete transparency, this video is NOT sponsored by Coursera, and I'm sharing how I would use it if I was just starting out in my career. It's my intent to share advice that I wish I had when I was starting out in my field , so you and so many other people can learn from all of my mistakes, and hopefully, grow in your career faster than I was able to.

@@alvinthepmofficial Well, it's hard to explain, but in general, for newbies who don't know everything, it's able to build a foundation. However, one of the most terrible features you will encounter is peer-review grading. If I'm lucky, I only get trolled two or three times, which means that it always happens that one person will give you the maximum points, and another will give you zero points, even if you are right. This can lead to failing that part, causing you to be late in achieving the certificate. This makes me so angry. If I'm not lucky, I need to resubmit many times to pass this.
