Journey to PgMP Success – Story of Angela Schrawyer

PMO Advisory started offering the PgMP training in 2015, and after training hundreds of project and program management professionals, we have achieved an amazing 99% first time pass rate for the PgMP exam for those who followed our simple methodology – use our PgMP Exam Simulator in Exam Mode and achieve 75% or higher two consecutive times within seven days and take the actual exam within seven days. We even have a money back guarantee (which we set the bar at 85% since “our skin is very much in the game.”

 

Recently, we had a unique situation in which a program management professional, Ms. Angela Schrawyer, came to us after she failed the PgMP exam twice and with one month remaining before she had to complete the test.  She has attended another PgMP training course from a well-known company, and it was not helpful. PMO Advisory was able to help her successfully complete the exam and achieved pretty amazing results – Above Targets in a majority of the domains. In an interview, Angela shares her experience, and here is a summary of words of wisdom:

  1. The online version of the course was incredibly helpful – helped Angela to align between the PMBOK Guide and the Standard for Program Management. This was helpful giving Angela the ability to better understand the question.
  2. The practice exam was valuable, including getting used to the timing of the exam.
  3. The need to have a company that builds on a track record of success with firm and credible content.
  4. The need to block out dedicated time to study and give yourself the time and energy to prepare for the exam.
