I am writing this mail to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me pass the PMP certification exam. I took the exam on 22nd February 2023 and passed out with AT/T/AT. I underwent your training in March 2022 and could not schedule the exam soon after due to unavoidable circumstances. The contents of online training provided by you covered almost 95% of the PMP questions due to which I could pass the exam. I went through your videos for not less than 5 times and took only 2 mocks before appearing for the exams.
