“This course exceeded my expectations! Russ is an excellent instructor who breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand language. I’ve already applied what I learned to my current project and seen significant improvements. Highly recommend!”

“Russ’s teaching style is engaging, and the resources provided are top-notch. I appreciate the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork – it’s not just about identifying risks, but also about building a culture of proactive risk awareness. I feel confident leading risk workshops now.”

“What changed my mind was your bootcamp — in that session I understood that I can do this. It completely changed my doubts. After our bootcamp, I understood it’s in my radar, I can do it.”

PMI’s exams are hard, so this is a concern for many students, but a mindset you want to avoid. But, with risk in mind, you need to understand the threats associated to your goal of earning your new certification.
PMI does allow you to retest up to three times before they restrict you from taking the exam again for one-year.
If, for any reason you fail, I will work with you by going over your results, talk through your mindset the day of the exam, and develop a plan for how to move forward. Remember, failing the exam is not the end, it is a learning experience that is telling us something has to change!
This is always a complicated question to answer. I’ve seen people pass by studying for a few weeks and others that took a few months.
But, just like we learn in the course about agile project story points and how one teams points cannot be compared against others, we must use this same concept for study time.
On average, people need 100 hours of study time to pass the PMP®, much of this time is taken up in the 35 hour course, practice questions and practice exam (to include the reviews).
With a dedicated study time of 2-3 hours/day, most students are ready to go within 2-3 months.
The courses are live as that is our structure. You are able to miss up to one full hour of classroom time. Anything over that and you’ll need to complete the course in another session.
Yes, and there is a limited access for reviews post-class.
Twice a month for scheduled office hours, but I am also available for adhoc calls and answering emails, many times through an application called Loom.
Whenever you have a question, just send it in an email. I will respond within 24-48 hours (usually quicker than that). I’ve worked with students outside of the US, as far as Italy, and used this process, allowing them to pass their PMP®.
