From Doubt to Triumph: Inspiring PMP Success Story |PRATHAP|.

So myself is Prasad. So I am working as a software project manager in Z, formerly IT is labco. So this is about my background, professional background and coming to the PMP certification. Yeah, I mean we got trained by you for careers. I mean I was not very sure that I will clear the PMP certification or something like that. But my. My intention to join this training was to gain the global vocabulary of Cortex management. Okay. The very first day you were asking every participants what is the expectation of the training. Even that time I told you about this and you noted it down and you. Every time when you engage with us, you are giving all this vocabulary and you are catching everyone need and then delivering it perfectly. So I like the way you, you took the first day of the training and yeah, that moment got sparked and it continued for the rest of the five days. But unfortunately I could not attend the last day. Even then I informed you. But you helped me out like providing the recording session and so on. And you clearly informed like how to be the PMP certification, how many hours of dedication is needed and you also guided us how we can put proceed. So every day you spend like 40 minutes, it will be enough like that. You spend morning 40 minutes, evening 40 minutes, you can continue like that. But yeah, I mean I completed the training at the month of December, but I got the certification in July. That's because after finishing the training I got fully involved in my projects. I got busy. So then I was like it keep on running in my mind in the background. We did the PMP training. It was very good. And it was like every day when you finish the class or in between. Also you used to stay and used to show the success stories of others. And this is how the people have succeeded. So I, I thought that day, okay, I should also be one of the person giving a success. Yeah. And it came true now. And yeah, I mean it's all because of your guidance. And every time like. And one day I called you in the month of June, I asked you because that time I was like determined to finish this certification. Then I thought like I took one week of leave and then started preparing and I called you, sir, I'm taking a day off for one week and I'm going to prepare. And you said, no, sir, it cannot be done in one week. You need some hours of practice. Then I realized, okay, it's not like crashing, you cannot do and you need much of dedication. And then every day I, I went through the training material and the recordings and then attended the test in the IC League. It was really good. Yeah, I mean whenever I used to show my progress what I achieved through the mail, you also give me a very positive feedback. Okay, you're doing good, keep ahead and keep the same pace and so on. So it kind of motivated like even after finishing the training, you are not like just separately left us. You were like coaching us and mentoring us towards the certification. It was really good, sir, thank you for that. And yeah, I followed your instructions literally. And then I applied through the certification online and followed your instruction even before sending the application. I sent the screenshot to you and got your feedback and then proceeded for the application. And I thought like I could also pay the certification fee. I mean examination fees. Then you said like hold on, okay, finish all this test. Then I will say okay, whether to proceed or not. Then yeah, I took that gold back. One certificate came in one mock test. And then you said okay, it's good, you can say go and proceed and next day you can give the certification. Like that you said. But I was not that confident. But your words really are. It was true. So then I applied. I mean I paid the fees and then yeah, thanks for that. And even the day when I the exam day. So my exam was scheduled at 11:11am I was there at 10:00am much earlier. And unfortunately that day in the Pearson we knew it was like there is some issue in the Internet so they could not allow me to write the test take up the test at 11am So I was like after seeing the time I got scared and panicked. So I went and asked sir, it's already 11am Will this time will be detected in my test. So they said no, no, once you start the test then only it will continue. So I was like then okay, calm down. And then he was sitting there and that guy told me it seems like some network issue in all over the India center. So whether are you willing to take it reschedule the test. So then one thing came to my mind which you also were telling during the training. So finish it off at any cost. Okay, So I was telling so no, no, I was determined sir, today I will go out as a PMP certified. I will wait, I will wait and finish our time it takes and I'll wait and finish it. So that guy was also took then if the technical glitch it solved by around 1am 1pm Sorry. And then they allowed me to get into. So it was always a nice experience. I was going through the PMBOK 6th edition even though you are not suggested that to do. But I just want to have a look inside. And I went through the book once again. But the practice, what we did the mock test in iclib. So that was like the test what I attended. It's all like similar pattern. Yeah. I would say in the same way. And if you, if I, if anybody who, who is practicing the PNP to info career, if they crack all the tests which you have, that was actually really good. If they go through all the tests and then see where they did a mistake and if they go through, I mean revisit the answers, then I think it's more than enough. As you said, like no other profession.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And what did you learn in this journey? Okay. In the six months. So a lot of things would have been you. You would see reflection in your day to day activity, correct?

Yes. I mean I could, I mean easily understand the vocabulary now Initially I was like Jordan, even, even I would have practiced that but the term would have been different for me. So now it's like it's in a flow now I can easily understand. And after getting the application it was like a proud moment and thanks for that.
