Graduate results and what they say
"Particularly I would like to mention positive style of information used by lecturer. Thank You!"
"Із захопленням ділюся важливою подією: я офіційно отримала сертифікацію PMP®! Шлях до цього сертифікату не був легким. Але коли йдеш до складної мети, дуже важливо, хто поруч і на чию підтримку можна спертися. Тож хочу сказати спасибі... Наталії Старинській, PMP — справжньому коучу від природи. Навіть після завершення нашого навчання в In-Star ти продовжувала відповідати на мої питання і допомагала зрозуміти, що насправді важливо. Я щиро вдячна."
"Thanks to Alina for the accessible and qualitative presentation of the material."
"Good afternoon, Alina. I'm writing to let you know that in August I finally passed the PMP — on the first attempt and at the above target level. The preparation took longer than I had planned, but I passed and did well. As for the exam itself, I found it a little easier than I expected: the questions were somewhat simpler than in Rita Mulcahy's simulator, and much simpler than in the simulator included in the course. In other words, if you consistently score 80% in the simulators, your chances of passing are quite high. I also managed to pass the PMI-ACP before they updated it. Thank you for your help in preparing for the PMP!"
