Graduate results and what they say
"🎯Today I achieved one important milestone, what I planned one year ago. It taked longer that I expected, but I'm happy that it was done!‼️ Today I passed exam for Project Management Institute hashtag#CAPM certification with "Above Target" score of all tested PM domens🥳🥳 Now, I wait for official confirmation to be Certified Project manager 😎 I'm so thankful for 📚valuable knowledge and shared experience Alina Piddubna InStar , the test-center GOPAS SR and all people who supported me in that way🥰"
"I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Project Management Professional (PMP)® from Project Management Institute! Thank you to Alina Piddubna from Instar for the excellent preparation and guidance — your help made this journey so much easier. To those preparing, stay consistent, and trust the process - success is achievable!"
"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!"
"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!"
