CAPM Live Lessons (PMBOK 6th Edition) – Guaranteed Pass or Your Money Back




 
This course has been updated in May, 2022 with Agile contents of PMBOK 6th edition and the latest ECO for 2022. To know more, refer this link: What's New in CAPM Live Lessons

It gives me a lot of pleasure in announcing the availability of CAPM® Live Lessons - a complete video course for Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification exam.  

"CAPM Live Lessons – Guaranteed Pass or Your Money Back"

This is one of its kind course in the world. No one ever has given a guaranteed pass, with FULL money back on CAPM exam in two attempts with live (video) lessons. 

I believe the CAPM certification is surely achievable for any sincerely preparing candidate. The questions are relatively direct. It mainly checks your understanding of the PMBOK® Guide, 6th edition. One needs right content, sound understanding of the PMBOK Guide, good quality questions and of course, sincere work to crack the exam.

This course is fully compliant with: 
  • PMBOK Guide 6th edition, and 
  • Examination Content Outline (ECO) for CAPM exam. 

The PMBOK guide 6th edition is bigger and complicated as compared to its earlier edition (though better organized), which makes aspiring CAPMs struggle. Also, many times as I’ve seen professionals appear for the CAPM exam, without any project management experience as the CAPM exam has one such option. Also, there are professionals who have experiences, such as architects, senior specialists, but they also have no formal project management experience. However, the good part is this: for CAPM exam, your one and only reference guide is the PMBOK Guide.

Hence, the entire course is presented and explained in layman’s language. It has been prepared based on my interactions and discussions with many successful CAPMs as well as PMPs.

Book for CAPM Exam Prep: "I Want To Be A CAPM"






I am delighted to announce the public availability of the book for Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) examination preparation:

'I WANT TO BE A CAPM - The Plain and Simple Way to be A CAPM'.

This book is based on the PMBOK® Guide 6th edition. This book is in continuation of the "I Want To Be..." series of books in project management domain. This blogpost is a formal declaration of the book going public.

Over years, I’ve interacted thousands of professionals from various organizations. A common question is this:

What to go for – CAPM or PMP certification?

That’s the dilemma faced by many professionals when they want to build a career in project management.  Organizations also want to know which will help their employees to be proficient in project management, preferably in a short period of time. 

So, this book is for professionals:
  1. Who find PMP exam to be time consuming. The CAPM exam, on the other hand, is much easier and will take much less time.
  2. Who find PMP exam to be hard. Because many professionals find the PMP questions to be complicated and requires a lot of effort. The questions in the CAPM exam are quite straight.
  3. Who want to have a good understanding of the PMBOK Guide.
    To be a CAPM professional, you need to have a good understanding of the PMBOK guide. This is your only reference guide. 
  4. Who don’t the qualify pre-requisites needed for the PMP exam or have little to no experience in project management. But they want to build a career in project management. In one of its options, CAPM certification doesn't ask for any project management experience - you only need to have 23 formal hours of education.
  5. Who have been asked by their organizations or potential recruiters to be a CAPM. The CAPM credential is recognized and valued within project management community.
This book would not have been made possible without the feedback from CAPM aspirants with whom I’ve interacted over years. Also, there are many certified PMPs who have contributed to make this book better. 

There are many other management professionals, including certified CAPMs and PMPs, who I’ve never met, but interacted in last 10 years over calls, webinars, emails and other mediums. Your inputs have made the book better.

Thank you to all of you.

PMP Success Story: A Cherished Experience

By Amodh Sinha, PMP, CSM




Introduction
I’m into IT industry for over 5 years and have executed many projects at organizational level. I’ve always felt something is missing in my accomplishment.

Hence, I thought of doing PMP® certification to get my fundamentals stronger and boost my project management skills. 

PMP 35 Contact Hours Experience
I looked for face-to-face classroom sessions, so that I can grasp as much as I can. After all my research for providers on PMP classroom sessions, I decided to join Satya's classes. I googled and found good feedback about PMP classes and finally reached for 4-week PMP classroom training. I went through the admission, 4 days of classes and earned the needed 35 contact hours. 

My PMP classroom session and experience was very good. Though I had attended the training on the earlier edition, I cleared my exam on PMBOK® 6th edition on 10th December, 2018. 


PMP coaching under Satya was a mesmerising experience. The tips and tricks during the session were very useful. He is truly a project management coach. In his class, you won’t just sit and listen. He will call you on stage to make sure you are understanding the concepts well and not left alone. That level of involvement and seriousness from coach motivates a lot. 

Own Study
My own study time was really a challenge. I’ve a small 1.5-year-old kid and whenever I opened my laptop for study he uses to come near and start playing. But as it is rightly said what’s the fun if you didn’t face any challenge in project execution. 

I set the target date of exam for 10th December 2018 and started planning for my study hours. I started giving daily 2-3 hours every day early morning. Early morning around 4 AM I made sure that I compete one knowledge area (KA) area and practice the questions. Beginning with my studies, I started with the PMBOK guide and completed it in one month. In parallel, I referred Satya’s latest book – I Want To Be A PMP, 2nd Edition. I also referred Rita Mulchy book and referred many YouTube videos to clear my doubts. 

Commitment is the essence of your PMP study and I made sure that I don’t lose that. Whenever I got time, I referred the Satya’s book to solve questions and clear doubts. Last 4 days of my exam date I gave 12- 14 hours of time focusing on the Exam Content Outline (ECO). I solved more than 1500 questions including Satya’s full-length Question Bank and Rita M’s questions.

Book Review - I Want To Be A PMP
After going through the classroom session, I decided to buy the book. This will be your second PMBOK guide for the PMP exam. The ITTOs are charted in table format and easy to remember. The tips and tricks are really helpful to fill your knowledge gaps.

The exercises given, flow diagrams, the EVM & graph videos, 35 plus chapter end questions and numerous tips and tricks in each KA are enough to fill your gaps.  

PMP Exam Experience
I scheduled my exam for 10th December 2018 in Bangalore’s Prometric centre. I reached venue by 7.30 AM and started my exam at 7.45 AM. My strategy was to finish every question within one minute so that I can save time for reviewing the marked question. 
Below are the key points about my overall exam experience:
  • The question was rarely direct.
  • 80% of the question I got were situational and many were trapping questions.
  • I used my logic to strike off initial 2 options immediately after reading the questions to narrow down on choices and tried to frame the question in which process groups (PG) and knowledge area (KA) the question belongs and zeroed in on the answer. 
  • Mathematical questions: Earned Value Management (EVM), 3-point estimation (PERT) technique, communication channels and float calculations.
  • Lot of question on change request and risk management. 
  • Did not get any best practices questions or emerging trend questions.
  • Question on control chart, stakeholder management, risk implementation, lesson learnt were mostly situational. 
I didn’t take any break and continued to complete the questions and completed in 3 hours 50 minutes. I was left with 10 minutes to spare and more than 50 questions to review. I reviewed more than 25 and the exam automatically got closed. 

My hands were frozen and I was not able to move the cursor for survey.  Somehow, I completed the survey. Finely the result displayed as CONGRATULATIONS!!

It was one of the best moment of life and I felt all my hard work has been paid off with that one word.  

Suggestions for PMP Aspirants
Dos 
  • Use your free time and weekend judiciously. Give time for your study honestly. 
  • Practice questions and if you make mistake in solving the mock exam, do not move ahead just by seeing the answer. Read again and close the gap.
  • Keep integrating your knowledge after every KA you complete.
Don’ts
  • Don’t waste time doing free questions from the internet. 
  • Don’t spend more than 2 min in solving the question, if you have doubt mark and move on. 

Conclusion
I’ve cleared my fundamentals in project management and I’m going to use this enriched experience and knowledge in upcoming project and programs.
