I have just started to gain information on PMP course and i wanted to take time to appreciate your honesty and patience in trying to reach out newbies like us. I like the way you make the subject realistically connecting with your viewers thereby compelling them to not ignore your work. Please i need your guidance on from where and which video of yours in sequence to start preparing for PMP course. Thanks 🙏

Can you share the test case report by EOD ? ❌️ Say like this - Hey, Can we count on you to have the test case report by end of day ? ✅️ It shows team work in lieu of authority, trust, respect. Awesome, sir. Please make a full video on such excellent words/sentences.❤
