PMP® Exam – is it worth it? And how hard is it, really?

PMP® Exam – is it worth it? And how hard is it, really?
Thinking about getting PMP® certified but not sure where to start – or if it’s even worth the effort? You’re not alone!
In this interactive and informal session, Daria Frey, PMP, shares her personal experience preparing for the exam, including the worries, wins, and everything in between.
We’ll talk about questions many of us have before starting the PMP journey:
- Why pursue the PMP certification at all?
- Is it really as difficult as people say?
- What resources are actually useful (and which ones aren’t)?
- How much time do you really need to prepare?
- What does the exam feel like – and how do you stay calm?
To make it fun and practical, we’ll also do a short live quiz with sample PMP exam questions. After each one, we’ll discuss the correct answer and break down the logic behind it, just like you’d do while preparing for the real thing.
This session is designed to be open, honest, and encouraging, with plenty of time for your questions and input.
And the best part?
After the “formal” part of the evening, feel free to stay for a drink and continue the conversation in a casual networking atmosphere with fellow project management professionals.
Who it’s for:
- Anyone thinking about taking the PMP exam or currently preparing for it. No matter where you are in the process, you’re welcome!
