Read MoreEllen has put so much time, thought, and expertise into designing a class that will yield serious results. Her assignments and lectures are all designed to, not only teach you the material but also to get you to start thinking like a certified professional. I have ten years of experience in events, and I walked away from this class feeling like Ellen gave me new skills to be a better professional. You will not regret signing up for this experience!!

Read MoreEllen & her team are an incredible group of educators. This class provides all of the resources you need to pass the CMP. This class balances both teaching you more about how to run a successful event from her years as an events professional, but also the tactical specifics of what the CMP exam is looking for. Couple her expertise and teaching style with the resources (Vocabulary to know, weekly practice tests, and multiple final practice exams) THIS is the CMP Study group that you want to join.

Read MoreI'm so thankful for Ellen and the resources she provided with this course! Becoming a CMP is no joke, and it requires discipline and lots of focus and dedication. But if you stick with it and trust what Ellen shares, it is totally possible. I cannot recommend this course enough for anyone who wants to have the CMP certification - you will be very prepared for the exam after taking this course!

Read MoreIf you are looking to take your Certification Exam, Ellen's class is THE class to take! Two hour classes each week that don't interfere with work makes it the perfect balance to take at any time of the year. The weekly office hours are what you make of them. You will get out of the course what you put into it. You have access to the material and practice questions for a full year from registration, She offers over 1000 practice questions of which look very similar to questions on the exam. I honestly could not be more thankful for Ellen and the Event Solutions Academy for helping me get my certification; it was worth every penny! Thank you Ellen!!

Read MoreThis course was the best use of my time and had me fully prepared to take the Exam! Ellen is a god and she does it all! From the very start after signing up I felt that I was in good hands and that Ellen would walk me through the process. For me, the structure of the class was amazing. It kept me honest and on track. Ellen has everything thought out perfectly and paces the content for you. She always says trust the process and now as a success story of her class and passing the exam I see what she means! Ellen is always available to help and is more than willing to do so. Outside of scheduled class times she hosts an hour office hour per week. This is a great time to connect and get your questions answered or topics clarified. Taking the Exam is a daunting challenge, but with Ellen and her class it makes the process manageable and even fun! I will definitely be recommending Ellen's class to anyone interested in taking the Exam.

Read MoreThere is one thing I know for certain, I would have NOT passed the exam if it weren't for Ellen and the resources she has made to help us prep for the exam. Specifically the classes, the practice exams, the note cards and so on were helpful beyond words. Also, I appreciated that Ellen has tools so if you are a (visual, audible or Kinesthetic learner, she has you covered. I would absolutely recommend Ellen to anyone and everyone who asks me about getting their CMP certification.

Read MoreEvent Solutions Academy will readily equip certification candidates with the necessary tools, guidelines, and confidence to be successful in pursuing a passing score on their exam. Ellen’s methods are tried and true, and her belief in her students is a boost of motivation to conquer the study material and review, review, and review. I admire Ellen’s “celebrate” attitude because through this process there will be many times you need to reflect and celebrate all you’ve accomplished. Ellen is a mentor I highly recommend investing in!
