I passed the PMP exam, all above target, a few weeks ago. Your videos were key to my understanding and ability to interpret the questions. Thank you!

Yes! It’s worth it for the reasons in this video. I gave 25 years of pm experience and know this to be true

[MrShake]

I hope you are right, I just passed in May using your videos. Still trying to get that ROI. Send luck 🍀

I passed my PMP (AT/AT/AT) a week ago. It was easier than expected but that's because i watched all of your video religiously mate!

You definitely ignore the question that PMP is a fantastic way for PMI to get filthy rich by charging money every 3 years for nothing. So to keep you certification you have to pay PMI for all your life. LOL. You become a paying machine for them :)

Hi David, I wanted to thank you for the outstanding videos you produced on PMP preparation. I watched almost all of them in addition to my own study. I did pass the exam first time around 2 days ago. I recommend you to others who need help and I would recommend them taking your class on Udemy. Also, what I really liked besides the video content was your extremely positive feedback and outgoing personality. Thanks again.

This is not an objective appraisal. So there are absolutely no negatives or downsides? Of course there are. It would be good to also comment on this aspect.

[heaththornborrow]

Thanks David. Your videos helped me tremendously. I just passed the PMP certification exam about 1 hour ago 🎉
And the exam was tough 😅

Hi David, i want to thank you for this video who helped me a lot. I'm working on agile environment and need to know if PMP is better than PMI-ACP certification to get be hired ?

The job market for Project Managers in 2024 is competitive. Perhaps the market will improve in 2025-26, but if I were starting or moving careers, I would not invest time in becoming a Project Manager. A better option would be to become a business analyst. I am saying it as Technical PM with 10 year experience

[RJBoyd-eckl]

I have definitely found that achieving my PMP has expanded my knowledge base and validated my years of project management experience. The investment in myself and my career is worth it to me and the PDUs make sure I keep learning and growing. The exam was harder than what I had practiced for but having the PMI mindset was key. Love your videos, David! They were great in helping me synthesize the PMP information to achieve a passing score!! 🎉🎉

Meanwhile, do you have videos on CBAP? Or any recommendations?

Does obtaining a PMP help in gettting a higher salary when starting a new job?

[DataDrifter]

Don't I need some 3 years of experience to do PMP?

Hello! I hope all is well. I see that you have a PMP certification. That's one of few areas I've been looking into. I was wondering if you could direct me to any positions that likely would not require a certification to get my foot in the door with hopes of the company investing in me getting certified. Any suggestions or recommendations you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
