I run a small mentoring track for PMP and CBAP candidates who can't afford the going rate for paid prep coaches. Two slots a quarter, three-month engagement, weekly 45-minute call plus async review on practice questions. Outcome: pass first time, with the work mostly self-driven.
This is a small commitment and I take it seriously. Two slots, no more, because the work doesn’t scale if I dilute the attention. I ask candidates to be honest about whether the financial barrier is real. There are plenty of brilliant paid coaches, and I’d rather give the slot to someone who needs it.
If you’re applying, tell me what you’ve already studied, when you’re sitting, and what’s blocked you.
