Passed this thing!
I passed the Project+ after a few weeks of studying. For me, there was no hands on and no on the job experience. It was all new. Nothing is relative to what I want in a career, but it helped me to understand the processes that others use in a project - making me a better team member. The material was dry, not interesting…
