Who leads the course
Graduate results and what they say
"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!"
"It was very interesting; everything was clearly explained, practical tasks helped to apply theoretical knowledge to my projects"
"I'm happy to share that I’ve officially earned my Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI)! I want to sincerely thank Alina Piddubna, PgMP, PfMP, SAFe, for the great PMP prep training. Your ability to explain and make the audience feel the most complex concepts is very powerful. I want to thank Natalia Starynska, PMP, for personal coaching and support in my preparation for the PMP exam. Your motivation, inspiration, and dedication to success helped me a lot! Thank you, InStar, for your help and support in my long journey to acquire the PMP certification."
" Victoria, good day :) I would like to thank you for our course. I already told Natalia today that it was truly very dynamic, engaging, and 100% efficient :) I really admire you as professionals, and you have great personalities. Thank you once again."

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.
