Gaining a Competitive Edge
Maureen Glennon Hieb wanted to gain a competitive edge in the PM field, so she decided to pursue her PMP^® certification. As a lead business analyst/project manager for a staffing industry-leader in Melville, N.Y., Maureen didn’t want to waste her time “in another boring set of classes.”

Cheetah’s Exam Prep for the PMP was just what she needed. “Cheetah’s accelerated approach was completely different from any Project Management classes I previously took,” she explains. “Although I was initially apprehensive, it appealed to me that I could take and pass the test after only four days of classes.”

Once Maureen registered for the course, she followed every piece of advice Cheetah offered. “I read the PMBOK^® Guide – Third Edition, memorized the Memory Map and followed the dietary advice. Everything about Cheetah’s course was excellent.”

Especially the fact that Maureen passed the exam the first time. “I couldn’t have done that without taking the Cheetah Exam Prep class and without Vikram Bala’s (Maureen’s instructor) encouragement,” she says.

“Vikram kept us motivated and interested throughout the class. We never stayed on a topic too long or used the same materials over and over. Although it was hard work, I left class each evening energized and excited about what we were learning rather than exhausted,” Maureen explains.
