Read MoreI was really looking for something that would ease my worries and help kick start my motivation to take the exam. Ellen did just that with this short program. And she has been excellent in communicating with me outside of the recordings - just like she said she would be! She gives you all the materials to succeed and pass the exam – I’m living proof! Her knowledge and guidance for taking the live test are truly valuable. Highly recommend taking this course if you are looking to help get you ready for the exam.

I have reviewed several introductory lessons of what is needed to apply and take the CMP exam (even EIC's own webinars) and by far this introduction exceeds them. The information is laid out in an easy manner to follow and very concise. Thank you.
