Student Profile: Alissa Jandrain, PMP

I have been working in Project Management for 12yrs in the school software business. Our company was looking to take project management to the next level and asked if I would be willing to accept the challenge.  I gladly did.  This was a certification I thought about for some time and was now at a point in my career where I was ready to go after it.

The most difficult part for me in my PMP studies was seeing the big picture and how everything interrelated to each other. But through my PMP® Exam coaching classes and formal teaching I understood the concepts but didn’t quite grasp how everything interrelated. 

I purchased reading materials but I needed someone to TEACH me in a different way. The coaching closed the gaps in my knowledge and brought everything together for me.  The big picture was realized and it all just clicked.

My coach understood my your particular needs. By taking the various quizzes and sending my results, the sessions were tailored to what I needed.

I would Absolutely recommend PMP® Exam Coaching to others.  You can only read so much.  You need someone to assess where you are at and then develop a game plan.  Coaching does just that.  It’s not cookie cutter – it’s personalized.  I would recommend coaching to anyone who has spent some time studying or even receiving formal training and is a month or two away from sitting for the exam.

My  #1 recommendation for those studying for the exam?  Stick to it and believe in yourself.  Having confidence gets you over half way there to passing the exam.
