Drill Questions to Pass the PMP Certification Exam (Elaine Jackson, PMP)

There are over 50 workshops scheduled for the 32nd annual BDPA Technology Conference in Philadelphia on July 28-31, 2010. One of the workshop presenters is Elaine Jackson, PMP.

Elaine Jackson enjoys coaching people on how they can pass the Project Management Certification Exam. For the last six years, her style of coaching involved training individuals to understand the project management processes and knowledge areas, and explaining how to apply that knowledge toward passing the PMP Exam. She applies a holistic approach toward getting students to respond appropriately in test environments.

Elaine Jackson achieved her Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification in 2008 after she conducted several study group sessions for project managers employed at HP. She realized there was a need for students to be encouraged to finish their studying and for them to make a move in their careers.

Elaine perfected the study process to achieve a level where students pass the PMP exam on 1st attempt. Her closing rate is holding at 94%. Students followed her advice by studying hard to achieve improvements in practice tests. Elaine’s goal is to assist Project Managers world-wide in virtual and face-to-face environments to be most ready for the PMP Certification Exam.

She recently completed the Entrepreneurial Training Program. She is on pace for speaking engagements at various events in career development and technology programs that have individuals seeking information on how Project Management can help their careers and how to achieve the PMP Certification.

BDPA is fortunate to have Elaine as a conference workshop presenter. Her workshop is entitled, 'Drill Questions to Pass the PMP Certification'.

IT Certifications Declining in Value

IT leaders, analysts and in-the-trenches professionals say certifications mean little in the candidate selection process. Though not all were created equally, IT certifications once had an almost-guaranteed value. In the years after the dot-com bust, many IT pros stocked up certifications namely in an effort to improve their job security. Their managers, in turn, used these accreditations to assure their value to the organization's penny-pinchers.

But when speaking to CIOs, IT managers and analysts about what counts and what doesn't on an IT professional's resume nowadays, one thing that stands out is an almost universal agreement that IT certifications don't matter the way they used to.
