Most Requested PMP Questions and Answers What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a PMP provider? Don't compare providers based solely on price. You could get training really cheap but if the person is not dedicated to your success and your future after the program ends - you will only get minimal support. The subject matter that must be studied - requires the coach to be patient with the student and for the student to be patient with themselves. Inside secrets to share? The test is not as hard as one might thing. What is hard is studying and having mental access to an unbelievable amount of information to answer 200 questions in 4 hours. This means answering each question at a pace of 1 minute 12 seconds each. No matter how smart you are - if the correct information is not in your head - you will struggle with the answers. Struggling to remember lowers your answer rate per question. Your nerves must be under control or worrying during the exam will add to the reduced rate of answering questions accurately. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking a PMP Trainer? Be ready to dedicate some time to studying. Payment does not mean we will force the learning on you. Homework Test Reading assignments Discussions in class Sharing templates Be honest with yourself and your pace to get the test done. Set a plan in motion What makes some PMP Instructors stand out from others? *Training in virtual environment with live instructor guiding each and every class for completeness of studies.

Students are completely confident in their ability to pass the PMP Certification Exam. *Corporate training is tailored to the schedule and learning needs of each company and their staff. *Goal of training is complete understanding of the field of Project Management, and absolute testing readiness for the PMI PMP Certification Exam. *Offer branded "Holistic Memorization Training" that allows students to study complex material with total ease. *Stay with the student from study times - up to the point that they take the PMP Certification Exam. *Teach and coach in knowledge needed, tips and tricks to remembering material for key understanding. *Use the help of high level PMP Coaches to answer the most complex questions. *Students cover over 1,000 questions related to the PMBOK and many other project management training materials *Additional workshops scheduled as needed. Students get 30 minutes free coaching with professional career coach to help add direction to their next positions and increased income potentials. What do you like most about your job as a coach? I am able to help individuals reach their career goals and to increase their income potential by at least $20K more than the jobs they had without the PMP Certification. Q. How long should I study each day? A. It is important to start slow with 2 hours each day or more if you are out of work and have time to devote to more hours. Before you take your exam - you

should be studying 4-7 hour each or every other day. Weekends should be dedicated to taking many mock exams and learning from the wrong answers. You could even be dreaming of the project management test when we get through with you! -------------------------- Q. How to remember the "INPUTS/OUTPUTS/TOOLS & TECHNIQUES? A. We have special memorization techniques that will encourage students to do mind mapping to make studying easy and complete. Dedication to the study process is important and carries right into the test. Be Consistent. ------------------------------------------ Q. I can't stay focused? My mind keeps drifting? Help? A. We suggest you read the PMP Questions out loud when studying at home. Spend less time in each study session may help but make each session count. -------------------------------------- Q. What if my PMI application gets audited? A. goe through a preliminary program to get the application details organized so that if an audit does happen - you are able to answer to the details, clear the audit, and move on with the PMP Exam. The audit should not be a problem if you were honest entering accurate details. Do you have a favorite story from your work? Connect with us on LinkedIN. Group "What Happened on the Day I took My PMP Exam" Lots of great and sad stories of the stressful situations on can experience before the exam. My coaching encourages students to be in the testing moment - even if the world is going to end. My last instructions: "Go Get Your PMP "! They all come back with it. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

We are caring and are dedicated to the student s success. We share job contacts and help students with career placement opportunities. We motivate students to get what they deserve out of their career. How did you decide to get in your line of work? Once a Project Manager - Always a Project Manager! Waited 14 years for corporate opportunity and when it did not come-- I change direction -- paid for my own PMP Training -- took on projects -- volunteered or work --- it took a long time but I was determined to make my career rather than wait for a manager to grant me a career opportunity. What are your most common types of jobs? IT Developers Software Specialist Medical Devices Clinical Project Management PMP (Project Management Professional) All fields are looking for some degree of certification - PMP is one way of placing yourself above other for interview and hiring opportunities Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of. Class of 15 students studied for 13 weeks together. They bonded as a team. Some did not want to leave the group after getting their PMP. "All 13 graduated' from the program on time and "successfully passed the PMP Certification Exam". We now network monthly, share trade information, and support each others' businesses. ------------------------- Took contract position as the PM for the team.
