Grant Professional Certification (GPC) Exam Prep (Udemy.com)

I am pleased to hear the course is being updated. Right now, I am loving the new AI Assistant.

This covers bits and pieces of various recorded presentations….chopped up without much substance. It references the competencies but doesn’t provide much information or background. Didn’t really help much.

I wish that I had been in the live training, but glad that the resources were there to assist me in completing assignments. For me the most beneficial aspect of the course is the scenarios. They allow me to use real-world application and open my mind to alternatives.

audio is horrible plus there is little training except the replay on breakout rooms discussion.

This was a thorough introduction to the certification process.

I felt there needed to be more quiz examples to prepare. Some of the video narrative was very monotone. It would have been helpful to back this up with a quiz to cement the concepts.

The test taking period has changed from six months to 90 days. The materials should be updated.

The content of this course was helpful; there were some good points shared. It was dated material and in several parts inaccurate information. There were some other "converting to recording" version issues- for example, the speaker says he'sll tell you how to submit questions if you're watching recording-- but he never does. I liked the mix of presentation (didactic) and conversations, but it was not what I was expecting. Perhaps a better description up front of how the course is formatted- disclosing it was a pre-recorded webinar and many portions include group work, would be good to know up front. In some instances, presenters talk over once another; in one case she mentions that she had to go "take a call." SUPER unprofessional when you're converting a webinar to a timeless course. Seems woudl be easy enough to snip that out. As it relates to the build and technical items in the course, I have to say I was dissapointed and found it sloppy. It appears no one piloted this course for technical issues after it was built: I made numerous notes along the way of issues I found. Things like audio transitions, words cut off, audio missing in varoius portions, in at least two circumstances the wrong video was uploaded to the sections (handouts didnt match/duplicate recording in two places). If you want to ask, I'd be happy to share where and where these issues occur as I made notes. Was it worth my time for my purposes of a quick review for my exam? Yes. Was I impressed with how the course was built and presented? No. I hope this is helpful to you; I manage our own LMS system and those tiny details of piloting the course, making sure its current, and high quality, and technically clean are SO important to the overall experience.

The course provided a nice blend of information by way of PowerPoint presentation and conversation with actual participants to further address specific competency areas. The course appears to have been designed in 2011, and this being 2019 I am quite sure that there are new grant development/management practices that have evolved over the past 8 years.

It was good on explaining the certification. This is something that I have never heard.
