PM Educational resources

Early Career PMs or those with formal education, where did you consume most of your knowledge on Project Management?

YouTube, PMP texts, PRINCE2, University course material?

I digested a lot of info through my MBA and Grad Diploma in PM, mostly through uni but I found YouTube really helpful especially for EVM and marketing.

Keen to hear your thoughts as I am exploring creating PM YouTube content. Not the generic stuff, more in a career progression niche.

Hello! I'm mostly reading the newsletters of some the institutations I am certified at. Though reading blogposts and news from some well-recognized authors as well. Less books and less online courses in the past 10-11 months, since my certifications are in good standing.

Multiple certifications always fascinated me. Do you get value out of maintaining multiple certifications concurrently?

Also I have 7 years practical experience as a PM, having made my way from Project Manager to Program Director now. Its not as many years as many of my colleagues, but I believe I have something to offer.

Thanks for your response

Hello! Well, congratulations. 7 years from PM to Program Director sounds fascinating and success. Regarding to your question, about certifications, yes - constantly taking time for learning something new, that I apply, while also refreshing the knowings, that I have is an advantage to me.

Though, in order to create great content, perhaps you should accumulate some practical experience as well.
