can someone help to advise which course should we take after PMC course on Udemy? regarding project management.
I would recommend The Agile Crash Course. Plus any of the courses included in the "Freebies" section of the course (both the Project Management Course & The Agile Crash Course) and also the courses you can find in the Bonus Lecture of both of these courses.

Easy. Just download it first before trying to edit the Certificate as per the Instructions you received when you completed the course. The system won't let you edit the Master version which is online in the cloud, but you will be able to edit it once you download it and add your own details.

Like anything else, you’ll need to start building a profile and a reputation initially, so prioritize experience over money. In the long run it will pay off.
You might also want to explore volunteering opportunities, not sure in which country you’re located but here in Australia you could find those opportunities here. Some might be remote others not, but most will likely require you on site.
Best of luck!

It really varies by project and also depends on the context. Plus, on some projects it makes sense to combine them and take what is referred to as a hybrid approach.
For projects which need a short delivery timeframe and that need to deliver value quickly and often go Agile. Agile is better suited for requirements around lean documentation and Governance as well.
If the project requires more hard deadlines, hard approvals or stage gates, can’t have variations on scope or deliverables then go Waterfall. Waterfall is better suited for projects that extend over longer periods of time.
In some projects you might go Waterfall during the Planning phase and you might switch to Agile during the Delivery or Execution phase.

What is the best day for a Project Go Live?
Definitely, it will depend on the context, business, availability, etc.

See lessWhat is project scope and how is it different from project objectives?
Scope is the extent of what you will cover with the project, so what sits within the boundaries of what you will accomplish at the end of the project. Say for example you were rolling out a new version of Windows in a business. You could define the scope as follows: Windows Desktops and Laptops StafRead more
Scope is the extent of what you will cover with the project, so what sits within the boundaries of what you will accomplish at the end of the project.
Say for example you were rolling out a new version of Windows in a business. You could define the scope as follows:
The above clearly outlines what your project covers and what it doesn’t implicitly. So for example, your project doesn’t cover Macs, mobile devices and staff in other buildings, only in Building 1.
Objectives do not relate to what you will cover or the extent of what you will do, but more what you’re trying to achieve. In a way, it answers why you’re doing the project. In the example above, you could have the following objectives:
What is the difference between task, goals and deliverables? What factors are covered in each of them?
A task is something that someone needs to do as part of the project. Tasks are assigned to people and they have an expected completion date or due date. And they tend to be associated with your skillset and expertise. So for example, technical tasks are assigned to technical people. Designer tasks aRead more
A task is something that someone needs to do as part of the project. Tasks are assigned to people and they have an expected completion date or due date. And they tend to be associated with your skillset and expertise. So for example, technical tasks are assigned to technical people. Designer tasks are assigned to designers and so on.
An example of a task would be: Create a mockup
Goals are more at the project level and are pretty much the project objectives, so what the project is trying to achieve. You can of course have goals at the team or individual level, but on projects, goals tend to be set at the project level.
An example of a goal would be: Enhance the student experience
Deliverables are specific things the project is delivering during or at the end of execution. These are generally bigger pieces of work that are completed after completing a group of tasks (not just one).
An example of a deliverable would be: A chat function in the new student portal
So in this example the project as a whole would be the new student portal, but to get there you need to deliver several things, which require the completion of several tasks.
Active contribution in meetings

People will actively participate in meetings if you foster a collaborative environment. If you give them the confidence to speak up and if you respectfully listen to their points, opinions or suggestions even if you don’t agree with what they’re saying.
Same goes for shy people, the above pretty much applies to everyone. But for those with little engagement you can drive them to participate by directly asking them questions. Or what they think about what someone else just said. So that they don’t feel singled out, you can ask the same to someone else or just go around the table allowing for everyone’s input. Remember, as a PM, you’re there to lead, to faciliate, to support, to help.
And regarding your last question, in terms of people not seeing meetings as a “blame game” well it’s simple actually, don’t make them feel that way. Never make people feel you’re there to point a finger at someone when something goes wrong, on the contrary, as the PM leading the team and the project, ultimately you’re responsible for what happens. Regardless if someone else is doing the work. Let them know that. Stand by your team in the good times and the bad times and they will respect you. That doesn’t mean of course that you shouldn’t look into issues and understand why they happened. You should, and you should take action to ensure it doesn’t happen again, but like I said before, people will feel how you make them feel. If you create relationships of trust with your team, they will trust you.
