Holy Moly! I apologize for the novel, but my journey to PMP was 7 years in the making, including being ban by PMI and not allowed to apply to take the test for 1 year, so I wanted to capture what an impact Tony had on my success in earning my PMP after being traumatized 7 years ago. Miracles do happen! I never thought I would be a PMI Certified PMP Project Manager or be able to pass this test. I have never experienced a test like this in my life. A test where there IS NO RIGHT ANSWER, only, which one the least terrible option. I have 22 years experience starting as a project coordinator. 7 years ago, when I officially moved into a Project Management, I thought earning my PMP would be a good thing. I have always been a good student and KNOW how to study, so I purchased the PMBOK 5th edition and read it cover to cover 2 times, actually reading it out loud and recording each chapter, so I could listen when driving to and from work, I made 600+ flash cards to memorize terms and flows, and diagrams, etc. I then scheduled myself to take the exam...and I failed. I continued to study throughout the year, my work had a contract through a video training company, where I watched videos, trying to see if this would make a difference. I watched videos on YouTube. I took the test 2 more times, and failed those as well. I failed so many times in 2015, the PMI ban me for 1 year from applying to take the test again. Fast forward 7 years, to January 2022. My mother-in-law was raving about this guy, Tony Johnson and his company Crosswind that came to her office 20 years-ish ago, and taught her how to pass the PMP. I decided to use the guy that taught my Mother-in-Law how to pass the PMP Exam on the 1st try. My first class with Tony, we spent several hours learning just about the test: understanding that this test is something different than you have ever taken before, that you cannot read and memorize vocabulary, diagrams, etc. and pass the test. In order to pass this test, you actually need to not only understand what the vocabulary, diagrams, process, inputs, outputs, and tools are, but you need to be able to apply them in real scenarios. You don't need to memorize the 1440 ITTO's, Tony will give you tips and tricks, to help you know what goes were in regards to Inputs, Outputs or Tools and Techniques. During my first class, my mind was blown, and I decided I should guzzling the Kool-Aid! I attended his classes, I tried my best to do the homework and come to class with questions (this is very important to be able to explain your thought process on why you choose an answer, as this will allow Tony to walk you and your brain through how to decode what the questions are asking for. Tony has teaching the PMP down to a fine art. He is the only person I know who can take a dry subject am make it entertaining and cheesy...It was those cheesy saying, that were in my brain on test day. If you do exactly what he says, you will pass the test, with flying colors, every time. If you are looking for someone who can actually teach you, not only what each concept is, but how to apply that concept in the real world and in "the world of PMI land", Tony is your Dude! My advice: Do exactly what Tony says... Attend Class and Pay Attention Do your practice test questions and come to class with questions Write your Brain Dump everyday. ...and take as many practice exams online, as the more scenarios you see, the more your brain/mind start to think in the PMP way. (I personally did somewhere between 1700 and 1800 questions) What you are doing, will make absolutely no since at all at first, literally a foreign language, but the more I wrote my brain dump over and over, the more quizzes I took, the more examples Tony could relate to me, one day it's like the light bulb just comes on...and it not only makes since, but it made me want to dig in deeper on the processes and the why's and how's. I am one who over does it, so I did purchase the 6th and 7th edition books, I spent 40 dollars on a testing app for my phone, and my company has ties with learning video site, so I found some videos to watch. After about 2 hours of bouncing between these additional resources, I can tell you that all 3 were a waste of money and a waste of time. All you need is what Tony provides you, and nothing else. What I love in addition to his teaching style, is the one-on-one attention given to each student. He has an exit exam/exit process once he has covered all the content. He will review with you your quiz results, help you go through and identify and evaluate everything going on in your life, from work, family, etc. to help you know when you will be ready to sit for the PMP exam. He truly cares of about of his students and was there for me every step of the way. Thank you Tony! You are the ABSOLUTE BEST.
