Thanks again for a wonderful workshop. I am really pleased with the CPM certification. It’s fantastic to have an official third party validation of my skill set in product management that I can show prospective employers. The certifications have differentiated me from other candidates and have helped me get additional interviews. Furthermore, I believe they were instrumental in helping me get an outstanding job offer last week!

The exam itself was a challenging (and humbling) experience. It measures thorough understanding of the essential product management principles. I will certainly recommend it to others, and look for certified candidates when I hire product managers. Congratulations to AIPMM on setting a long-needed bar to measure competence in this field!
