Once they have your money you are on your own
I completed Cambridge Institute's online self-paced
PMI-RMP preparation course before sitting the actual
PMI-RMP exam, and unfortunately my experience with the course was very disappointing.
The material felt largely like high-level risk-management notes covering terminology and basic concepts. It did not come close to preparing me for the nature, complexity or scenario-based judgement required in the actual PMI-RMP examination.
I fully accept responsibility for my own exam pertormance, but having now experienced the real exam, the gap between the course material and the examination was extremely noticeable. The actual questions required considerably more interpretation, situational judgement and application of risk-management principles than the training prepared me for.
For something marketed as an exam preparation course, I expected realistic practice questions and preparation that would at least familiarize candidates with the style and difficulty of the examination. In my experience, it did not.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend this course as a standalone preparation resource for the PMI-RMP examination. Anyone considering it should expect to require substantial additional preparation and more realistic exam-simulation material from elsewhere.
