Graduate results and what they say
"Thrilled to Announce My PMP Certification!🏆🎓 Today, on International Project Management Day, I’m excited to celebrate by sharing that I’ve officially earned my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification! Passing the exam with Above Target (AT) scores across all domains was both a rewarding and challenging journey. I’m deeply grateful for the support and resources that helped make this milestone possible. 🙌 Heartfelt Gratitude First, a huge thank you to Eugene Balaban, Olga Fedorenko, and Oleksii Mohylnyi for their mentorship at Sigma Software. Your guidance was instrumental in refining my project management skills and contributed greatly to my success on the PMP journey. A special shoutout to Alina Piddubna and her InStar course for helping me solidify the PM mindset and bridge essential skill gaps. This course not only prepared me for the PMP exam but also helped me avoid costly mistakes and strengthened my knowledge base."
"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! "
"Good morning, Alina, thank you so much for your help with the exam preparation — today I received the result that I passed. I used only your course and the books from the PMI library, and it all worked out. Thank you very much! 😊🔥"
"Happy to join the community of Ukrainian PMPs. 🎉 Thank you to Alina Piddubna for the excellent preparation and Liudmyla Fedchuk for the inspiration! A little later I will share my experience of preparing and taking the exam itself. I hope it will be useful to those who are considering this path for themselves."
