Courses for junior project manager?

Question

Project management

Good afternoon, I am considering the possibility of moving to a new project manager area. Tell me, please, sensible courses, resources for basic understanding and gaining initial experience? Is it possible to enter the profession without a technical background?

Answer 1

Commentators are sarcastic, but you can figure out a lot on your own. Everyone starts somewhere.
If you have money, you can buy a course from large online platforms (skillbox, netology, geekbrains), but if you have motivation and time, you can start on your own.

No one needs knowledge by itself. If you're working somewhere, try taking on the extra work of running the project, or helping someone out with the management. This can then be added to the resume. The main thing is to get results.

Is it possible to enter the profession without a technical background?

Of course it is possible. But there are already enough of them.
You should know at least the basics. Otherwise, how will you build interaction?
No one is interested in a phony phone.

You can come :) And ... go back :) Or on maternity leave :) How will you work if out of everything that the developers tell you, you understand only prepositions and conjunctions?
