Graduate results and what they say
"I'm excited to share that I've achieved the "black belt" of project management: the Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification from PMI, recognizing my advanced skills and reflects my 18 years of experience in project management. First, I want to extend my deepest thanks to my family for their incredible support and patience through all those evenings of study. Their encouragement made this accomplishment possible. A special thank you to Alina Piddubna for her creative and professional approach to teaching at InStar school. It was a fantastic experience to be a student once again and to learn from such an inspiring mentor. Looking forward to applying these skills and embracing new challenges! Also, separate respect goes to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whose efforts have made it possible to continue learning and gaining new knowledge in warring Ukraine. A regular donation is already on the way. Слава Україні!"
"I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Project Management Professional (PMP) from Project Management Institute! So long as thanks for all the fish 😄 Alina Piddubna, PgMP, PfMP, SAFe thank you for your wisdom and support!"
"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!"
"Excited to share that I’ve officially earned my PMP certification from Project Management Institute! Huge thanks to my incredible wife, who supported me over the past two months, giving me the time and space I needed to focus on studying. A special thank you to Alina Piddubna from InStar for the excellent preparation and guidance — your help made this journey so much easier. Grateful for everyone who supported me along the way! "
