Graduate results and what they say
"Thank you for your work. You are a very cool specialist and a kind person."
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
