Graduate results and what they say
"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! "
"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!"
