He showed a great deal of tolerance when helping us understand we needed to think different for this test. He provided real world examples that made sense. And several times while taking the test what he said came to mind and helped me. A really excellent instructor. I passed...no other program worked for me...thank you Cheetah Learning :) Cheetah taught me how to study and I will take that knowledge with me and apply to other courses that I take in future.

Relax We guarantee that you will pass the PMP Exam after fully participating in Cheetah Learning s accelerated PMP Exam Prep course. Just as a mechanic would not be able to guarantee a car will run if some pieces of the engine were taken out, neither can we guarantee you will pass if you do not fully participate in the course. While most people take the exam the day after class ends, you must take the exam within seven days of completing the course. If you do not pass the PMP Exam, your instructor will create a personalized program to help you shore up your weak areas and will guide you through the process of rescheduling the exam. You must retake the exam within 30 days of the first exam, and if you need to test for a third time, you must take that exam within 30 days of the previous exam. In the unlikely event you do not pass the PMP Exam after the third attempt (all attempts must be made after completing the Cheetah Exam Prep for the PMP course), and you have abided by the guarantee guidelines, we will refund the entire course fee to the paid who paid for the course. If you prefer, in lieu of a full refund, we can instead provide you $500 toward the purchase of an alternative Cheetah course, after an unsuccessful second attempt and with the recommendation of your PMP Instructor. Don t worry, you ve got this! Questions? Contact a Cheetah Career Counselor Anytime! info@cheetahlearning.com 1-855-286-9900 2018 Cheetah Learning, LLC 3 PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition

Just like every great coach, Cheetah's PMP Coaches guide you every step of the way to ensure your success. PMI has a prerequisite that candidates taking the PMP Exam have 35 hours of Project training and meet guidelines for Project experience prior to filing their eligibility application. The Cheetah Exam Prep for the PMP includes, at no extra cost, the 35 hours of training that many people use to meet PMI s PM Education requirement. See PMI s requirements at PMI.org. We incorporate extensively proven accelerated The Cheetah Exam Prep for the learning and memorization techniques that allow candidates to master the entire Project Professional curriculum in just four days of immersion training. This includes all of the Project material needed to pass the PMP Exam: over 400 key definitions, 49 Project processes, multiple sets of Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs everything. The learning techniques ensure a practical, hands-on working knowledge of the materials and all the information is taught to ensure longterm retention. To achieve the results, we use highly innovative accelerated learning techniques including - neuro-psychology, psychoacoustic technology, visual memorization techniques, color recognition, physical conditioning and multiple intelligences. We structure the four day event to include plenty of break time that includes stress reduction methods which also serve to keep you focused, alert, energetic and positive. Many people report on Friday that they have never felt better. We run the course nine hours each day, Monday through Thursday, with some homework assignments each night. We also arrange nutritious and healthy meals throughout the day that also serve to improve focus and concentration. On Friday morning, candidates take their scheduled PMP Exam at a local testing center and later that afternoon become PMP s. This is a very effective way to prepare for the extremely difficult PMP certification exam. The approaches you follow have worked for over 80,000 people worldwide. We follow this rather unconventional formula because it works, fast. 2018 Cheetah Learning, LLC 4 PMBOK Guide Sixth Edition
