Sometimes the only way to stay a step ahead of life is to “accelerate” – like at Cheetah speed. Donald Orrico, national programs engineer for a government supplier, had to meet the company’s requirement of earning his PMP^® certification but was facing an already crammed calendar.

“I practice accepted PMI techniques in my career and have taken several program management courses, but the information covered in the PMP certification exam is so broad, I knew it would take an enormous amount of my time to successfully prepare,” Donald explains. “So I was looking for an accelerated approach. Several colleagues who were successful using Cheetah’s PMP exam prep methodology recommended the course.”

It was intensive and required staying focused, but Donald wasn’t disappointed. “If you fully dedicate your efforts for the four days of total immersion and follow every bit of your instructors’ advice, you WILL be prepared for this exam.” The practice exams throughout that week, along with the tips and techniques his instructors provided, were a great help in getting through the mental challenge.

But why settle for just a mental challenge when you can add a physical one as well?  Donald battled a cold throughout the week of exam prep, which made focusing on the course material just a bit more difficult, but still worthwhile.

Now that he’s earned his PMP certification, Donald finds that his colleagues recognize his efforts and are very interested in earning their certification. He believes not having this certification is a program/project manager’s biggest career obstacle.

“I cannot emphasize enough the importance of taking the Cheetah Learning program,” he says. “The pass rate of their students clearly shows their unique methods work, which is why they can offer a guarantee.”

Cheetah’s proud to have helped Donald remove this particular obstacle from his career path, without slowing him down. Now he can stay a step – or two – ahead of the crowd.
