Replying to Michael Brian
...
I spoke with 2 reps via chat on PMI site and really didn't get much info.
There's no instructor for the course. No book is sent to you or additional tools, everything is online. They did not answer very clearly if the material covered will effectively prepare me to pass the CAPM exam. I had asked how long you have access to the course up to completion, does it expire after a years time or when would it expire - they did not provide a clear answer to this.
The reps kept linking me to the same pages I've looked at when answering my questions.
I am at a slight loss here. In order for me to take the exam, I need this to qualify. As I was a PM back in 2013 for a year's time in the trade show division of a freight forwarder, I simply have no clue how many hours I've done and what the projects names were. It was a client by client basis, international logistics cargo handling to trade shows.
So right now I do not feel 100% confident that this course will even prepare me specifically for the CAPM as I have not gotten one clear answer on my many questions.
I've taken online courses before and have had issues that forced me to stop. I don't want to find out after spending the money that the coursework is very vague or even hard to understand. I need to know if this course is going to cover the material on the CAPM exam for me to spend my time studying and putting in the work.
Does anyone have insight on this course or can you at least share your experience with another course from PMI??
There's not even a breakdown of what the course covers. I find this hard to believe tbh. I have never seen this before where you basically are blind to the material.
