Questions, answered
Do I need a PMP to become a PM?
No — many start without one. We'll show you when a cert helps and when experience matters more.
I'm from a non-IT background. Is PM for me?
Absolutely. PM skills are industry-agnostic; we'll map your background to a PM path.
Is the session really free?
Yes. It's a live group session with a mentor — reserve your seat at no charge.
