Testimonials

Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been training with your organisation. I read the book, listened to the podcasts and the e-learning as well as last week with John and the whole experience has been a great balance of learning and preparing for the exam. I heard your iconic laugh at Portland house on Friday as I was walking past the room you were in and seriously thought I had listened to the pod casts so much I was hearing things – until John clarified that you were indeed in the building! Now I just have to wait for the results.

Just wanted to provide some feedback regarding "Your Journey to Professional Project Management: How to pass the APMP Exam Book". I am pleased to say that today I received my successful exam results. The BoK does not come near to the requirements to pass the exam so thanks to John & Paul for this publication and the very useful podcasts. After all my searching including the APM site, this has got to one of the best resources I have used to pass a professional exam.

I had a fantastic, refreshing experience with Parallel Project Training. They supported me and developed me as an individual both before and after the courses. Especially beneficial was the one-to-one coaching to help me gain the tough APM PQ qualification. I can now apply reasoned solutions to client projects to help resolve issues more readily. The Parallel trainers were very knowledgeable and supportive and they helped identify my personal strengths and gaps in my knowledge. In client situations like the Q-Log consultancy there is a requirement to continually justify decisions that are taken on projects. The formal APM methodology now enables me to do this with ease.

Whilst attending an APMP training course with a different provider, I knew that I would need more help with revision for the exam than just the course notes I was given. I found the Parallel Training 'How to Pass the APMP' book on the internet and purchased it easily from their website. The book content was extremely concise and easy to understand, with quick quizzes to see where more revision was needed and example exam questions, which I found particularly useful.

Parallel Training could not have been more helpful. Having made sure I received the book immediately, they then offered on-line help and support; from the answers to the quick quizzes to offering feedback to any questions asked on their forum.

Found out I passed APMP exam, thanks to @parallelproject study guide - bargain! (self study is quite stressful though) #pmot #apm @ethicalgirl

I have taken my APMP exam at the open centre this afternoon. I used your book and the podcast as primary study material. I won’t know my APMP results for the next 10 weeks but this study material has definitely provided me with a good understanding of the PM topics. Thank you very much for the good work you guys are doing!! Keep it up...

Once again thank you for a great week and also for designing the parallel training method, I used the study guide, web units together and listened to the pod casts while driving around; I feel this was a massive influence for passing the APMP and provided a great deal of enjoyment and understanding while learning and studying.

I recently passed the the APMP exam which I took in May. I used your book on the subject as my primary reference. It was really useful and easy to use and the combination with the podcasts was very helpful. I would defineitely reccommened it for people who are not taking a formal course. Well done.

I prepared for the APMP exam earlier this year using Parallel Project Training ‘How to pass APMP exam’ publication. And I’ve passed my exam with a very good score of 70%! It’s a great book and very easy to use and associate with the real life situations.
