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! 🚀"
"Obtaining a PMP certification is like winning an Oscar. It's that rare moment when I actually want to put myself in the spotlight and share my achievement with the community. I posted that I began my certification journey back in 2021! How could I have known back then that in the next 5 years I would become a mother, experience a full-scale war, flee my country and start a new life as an immigrant, begin my own small business, and eventually get certified! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! So I made it. The last five years of my life taught me such adaptability and resilience that I feel like I can achieve anything I want. This winter, I promised myself I would get certified. My dear friend Olena Sikorska inspired me to continue with my long-term goal. Her example showed me that with the right attitude and preparation, everything is possible! So I found the best coach, Natalia Starynska, PMP, from InStar, who not only provided insights and useful tricks of the trade to pass the exam, but also made sure the students of our prep course truly developed the required PMI mindset. Big thanks to Natalia and my fellow students who shared their experiences and approaches to work. It was very insightful and helpful. I wish you all good luck during your exams! "
