Who leads the course
Graduate results and what they say
"Exciting news — I have officially passed the PMP certification exam! My journey started back in 2023 when I joined the business analysis team at KnowledgeMap under the mentorship of Anatolii Savin. That was the beginning of my preparation for certification and an incredible experience working with one of the best project managers in Ukraine, a person who has made a huge contribution to the development of project management in our country. A huge thank you to Anatolii Savin from KnowledgeMap and Natalia Starynska, PMP from InStar for their invaluable support in my preparation! Your expertise, guidance, and dedication made this possible. I also want to express my gratitude to my team at National Bank of Ukraine, who have always supported me on this journey. Passing the PMP exam is not just a personal achievement—it's a step forward in contributing to the growth of project management practices in Ukraine. To those who are on their way to PMP — keep going, it’s absolutely worth it! 🚀"
"After a four-year journey of: - thinking about the PMP certification - signing up for my first self-paced online PMP prep course on Udemy - relocating from Ukraine to the UK - completing PMP training by Alina Piddubna at InStar - diverting to obtain PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner certifications - having the joy of obtaining SAFe SA and ICP-DAS certifications - diverting again to pass AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification inspired by cloud technology - moving from Oldham to Salford to London - finding myself as a scrum master in Finance Change & Tech (dream, no less!) - realising that my approved application for a PMP exam will expire in 2 months and I need to read through the remaining 430 pages of the famous "Rita" - PMP Exam Prep book by RMC Learning Solutions ... I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Project Management Professional (PMP)® from Project Management Institute!"

The free cohort retake applies on three conditions: you attended at least 80% of sessions, you took the exam within 6 months of the course end, and you scored 80% or more on the PMI exam simulator before the exam. The PMI exam fee is paid to PMI only after PMI approves your application. If you do not apply within 6 months, we refund the exam fee minus an admin fee. PMI membership is personal and is registered on your own PMI account. PMI Study Hall is activated at the end of the course, so the 3 months cover your final exam preparation. Mentoring sessions run in a separate group chat for Certification and All inclusive participants.
We pay the PMI items to PMI on your behalf. Discounts apply to the course price only.
