How to get into Project Management?

In pursuit of my personal growth and with the goal of entering more advanced projects (with a focus on achieving a Junior Project Manager position or a role within the UX team), I’m delighted to share that I successfully finished my first Project Management course.

Credentials.

I passed with an impressive 89% mark! 🎉 My Alison.com credentials for this course are: 4296-31280586 and can be viewed here: https://alison.com/certification/check/2y105T2YplJR5dPvdlwSHrzraejRjK7IMyieVbC7eykx0KBAnYdaOKi

I dedicated slightly more than 50 hours to completing all the modules, and likely another 50 hours to learning and reviewing the course materials. 🕐

About the course.

This online course is available at no cost with an option to purchase the certificate, starting from £28. Yet it is in harmony with the PMBOK (which I began studying approximately a month ago) and is led by Rich Weller, a seasoned expert in Project, Program, and Portfolio Management with nearly three decades of experience. 📚

While it may initially appear straightforward, this course excels in its ability to provide practical examples and comprehensively covers various aspects of Project Management when necessary for better understanding. I found it quite easy to pass the individual assessments during the course, but upon revisiting my notes, I realized that there was a wealth of information contained within. I believe that this course is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to delve into Project Management. 👨‍💼
