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."
"Everything was laconically, clear and just excellent"
"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."
"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!"
