READY, Set, CCMP Exam Simulator
After completing the ‘READY, Set, Change – Change Management 101’ course with April, I had a sound knowledge of the Change Management concepts and processes, but I needed exposure to the content and format of the exam questions. The “READY, Set, CCMP Exam Simulator” is a fun, interactive study resource with hundreds of practice questions, broken into categories for ease of use; it truly was the missing piece to my CCMP exam prep toolkit. The structure of the quizzes, along with the post exam reporting, enabled me to identify areas of weakness and focus my study efforts to increase my competency. I went into the actual exam feeling prepared and confident of passing on my first attempt. I highly recommend the “READY, Set, Change CCMP Exam Simulator, whether you are in the early or late stages of your CCMP exam prep!"

Change Mastery 101
“I signed up for READY, Set, Change! Change Mastery 101 course to learn how to lead change using the five-step framework and to earn CPUs… but I learned so much more!
She has a calm and inspiring way of teaching, creating an engaging environment that truly connected and inspired me.
The most beneficial part of the course was that April gave us immediate feedback after each group activity and after reviewing our plans. I highly recommend taking this course.”
