The last 3 months were intense with the program, study and job-hunt but I truly enjoyed the learning, experience, exchanges and networking with people alike. I learned so much and am confident that the PMP certification will help in my job-search and jobs.
Participant in Specialst Training
Coming from an international nonprofit background, I was initially hesitant about how my experience would align with the broader project management industry standards. However, the intensive PMP training offered by KIM Organisation was exceptionally clear and helped me grasp the PMP mindset and processes while connecting them to my own experiences.
