    Yesterday I took the exam and passed above target! I highly recommend Andrew and I highly recommend his mindset study guide and exam simulator (which includes explanation videos). Andrew I can't thank you enough, the exam was very difficult and without the 35 hours, mindset and simulator I don't think I could of passed. I did buy the blue shirt before the exam for luck and we celebrated with cake ehehehehe

    The harsh truth is it took 1-2 months of studying to get my PMP and it took 6 years to get my BS and MBA with tons of books, papers, case studies, projects, team efforts, etc. They are both valuable, but you learn more from the degree, and it's harder to obtain. I have noticed a trend of people without degrees trying to write off the value of the degree... The ultimate path to set yourself apart is to have real-life experience, a degree, and certification.

      I think I’d agree with you. But how much of that knowledge of that expensive degree will you retain within 3 months, a year, 2 years? Chances are you will forget almost all of it. The reality is, unless you’re using this knowledge in your everyday work you’ll forget it and at that point what value did you really get aside from experience.

    Great video Andrew. I got my PMP cert in March 2022, and in December 2022 I’ll have my BSBA with a specialization in Project Management from Liberty University. I highly recommend their program. I really like your way of teaching, as I took the TIAexams prep tests you offer. I would love to see a video about interviewing like you mentioned.

    The thing that people under estimate is the journey enroute to the degree. Because college gives you a broad range of skills, many college graduates end up in fields that are not what they studied in school. College can open up unexpected opportunities that aren't always there for those who haven't engaged in a higher level of education. The PMP is a great certification but in many cases cant over come the degree which is usually a requirement for many job vacancies. I have a Masters and my PMP which shows employers that I am multi faceted and can be utilized in various areas of an organization which is a huge bonus.

    One thing to be noted is, you can pass and get a degree with minimum efforts that is 45, 50% marks. But that is not possible with PMP, u should have thorough knowledge of PIMBOK. It is an intensive study, not a passive one.
    If u ask, what u remember in your 4 year degree, u will try to recollect.but for a PMP, u know very well what u learned. It's not about the 3 or 6 months time period, PMP gives some solid knowledge. Degree is a foundational qualification, but PMP opens your eyes practically

      I concur. The requirement for continuing education for the PMP vs the lack there of for a degree, whose knowledge base will certainly be dated, is what make the PMP to me, quite a better value.

    Good video, fortunately I’m in construction where experience carries almost as much weight, sometimes more in some positions as a degree. I have no degree and went thru an apprenticeship instead, moved into management and now adding certs like the pmp is icing on the cake and looks really good. I provide well for my family with a high ceiling ahead of me in my career. And thats with no degree and debt to show for it. If you can get both go ahead. If you don’t have a degree, focus on getting as many certs and experience as you can.

      @Quick Jump Yes it is, but it’s also very rewarding. Being organized and a good communicator is a must. You do need to be able to remain cool under pressure and stressful situations.

    Awesome video. Can you compare a degree vs multiple certifications. For example if a person got a PMP, CCNA, CCNP….etc. Also could you explain what is a good balance of certifications that will trump a degree.

      If you want to cheese out a degree, the DoD introduced me to WGU. I did an IT degree in 6 months. It is pay per semester. Strong incentive to go as fast as possible. With current rates (they've gone up), my degree would be $4300 base - $2200 from the AOTC while filing taxes = $2100 out of pocket.
      Its an accredited school. It doesn't cut corners. To go that fast while working full time I had 153 of the 168 hours in a week scheduled. I held that schedule without fail for 6 straight months. Overall I wrote about 160 pages, took about 70 proctored test, write a lot of code, and did 5ish video presentations. There is a lot of work required.
      Axel Webber has a video about doing his business degree in 2 months. ua-cam.com/video/z5R70_WgZTk/v-deo.html
      I did an MBA as a victory lap (only 34 credits, no coding required). Felt easy by comparison. Finished in about 4 months.
      TLDR: You can ham out an undergrad degree and graduate degree in less than a year that is good enough for the DoD at WGU.

      To do the PMP you will have to submit to PMI 36 or 60 months (depending on if you have a degree or not) worth of project management experience. They also require you have 35 hours of classroom training (just get andrews course on udemy and go through it to 100% before submitting). They audit random people. I got audited and passed my audit, then passed the PMP.
      If you cant find any other rout, you can get "experience" by volunteering with organizations in your community that will let you plan and execute projects (make sure they meet PMI's definition of "project").
      The audit experience--they send whoever you cite as a 3rd party to verify your work EXACTLY what you wrote them and ask for signatures and comments. So technically its not very hard to fake, but I really wouldn't advise it. PMI will ban you for life if they find out you lie about anything.
