PMP Exam Coaching Experience with Cathy Vasile

In the first two interviews about PMP Exam Coaching, we heard from a PMP Tutor about his work and how he helps students as they are prepping for their PMP exam. Now we want to switch the focus to the students. This is the first of three interviews with PMP exam students who decided to use a coach during their exam preparation.

First off we meet Cathy Vasile, PMP. She had a hard time translating her initial training into PMP exam success. So she decided to work with a PMP coach and achieved success.

We learn about her journey from start to finish, talk about how the coach personalized the training for her needs, and why she feels that this was money well spent.

PMP Exam Lessons Learned from Rachid Sila

Lessons learned, his journey and preparation to the PMP exam shared by Rachid Sila, PMP.

Here I would like to share my experience on how I prepared for and pass the PMP exam, and as following:

1) Set PMP exam day as a key milestone: When I started in October last year (2014) preparing for the PMP exam, I set approximately end of February to March (2015) as the key milestone to go for the PMP exam, and in the beginning of February I updated the day of the Milestone to make it more precise. And the day I passed the PMP exam (March 26th) was the key milestone I set in my schedule plan...
