I'm scheduled to take the A-CSM course next week and want to aim for the PMP afterwards (I meet the requirements).

Where do I find a study group as well as mentors or peers? Are there discord servers that dedicate to Project Management?

Yago,

not sure if there are discord servers for PM, never ran into one.

Study groups are found at Chapters locally (look for Buenos Aires or Montevideo) and globally everywhere. Search for PMP study group. There are groups on LinkedIn (e.g https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2356441/) or on whatsapp.

Or you go for courseware, e.g. on udemy.

As for the mentor, ask here.

I am actually going to be moving fairly soon and the only chapter is 400km away, so in-person won't be an option.

Do you mean to make a post looking for a mentor?

It's odd that there are no discord servers, right?

Yes, most chapters have moved to online anyhow.

Yes, regarding posts, if you are asking for 2 things you might get nothing at all (same with emails).

Never used discord servers knowingly. Thanks for mentioning them.

Yago -

thanks for prompting to search for what a "Discord server" is as I'd never heard the term before!

There are a number of discussion groups on LinkedIn focused on various certifications and I do believe some of the "tier one" PMP prep course vendors have their own online communities for supporting such discourse.

Do you have any to recommend?
The market is saturated with offers and I'm particular about the approach to learning I have. I'm not a fan of the 'self-serve' style in this regard.
