Today, New Year’s Eve, there were three, live Cheetah PMP Coaches responding to one PMP Exam Prep Cheetah student. He had registered yesterday and received a welcome email from the lead instructor for his class. He texted his Cheetah career coach and asked “are you using AI or is this a real person” relating to the welcome email. He had also emailed the lead instructor. While texting the cheetah career coach, he said, “well I guess you are real people – I’ve now heard from three live Cheetah PMP Coaches.” He then texted “thanks as I was trying to calibrate my expectations.”
Why do we insist real people engage with real people?
The answer is obvious to those of us who’ve had enough of the limits of Artificial Intelligence – that is more artificial, then intelligent.
During the last two weeks of the year, a year where many of us have had more and more engagement turned over to engaging with AI, at Cheetah we are doing what we’ve always done, making sure cheetah students have a real live person at the end of their question.
It’s not because we don’t believe in AI, are scared of AI, or don’t know how to use AI. We’ve been pushing the limits of AI in numerous frontiers for several years. It’s for this precise reason we have a core principle relating to Artificial Intelligence engagement with Cheetah students.
Cheetah’s accelerated methodology is built around one principle:
REAL PEOPLE HELP REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL WORLD CHALLENGES
EVERY CHAT SYSTEM out there says “we make mistakes” – please check our work.
- How is someone just learning supposed to know enough to check the work of a chat bot?
- While Artificial Intelligence can expand your thinking, it can’t help with faulty thinking when you don’t know it’s faulty thinking.
When you need to quickly develop critical thinking skills to pass the PMP exam, Cheetah’s certified PMP Coaches (real people) ensure:
- You learn how to think like PMI, not just what PMI says
- You eliminate wrong answer patterns fast
- You stay on an aggressive, realistic timeline
- You don’t waste energy studying what won’t move your score
- You learn how to replicate visceral experiences transitioning from anxiety to calm confidence with high pressure situations.
Bottom Line
If you just want information and a repetition of the information already out there, AI can help.
When you need (and want) to pass the PMP exam fast, you need a qualified real person who can help you quickly master a complex set up skills that not only help you pass the PMP exam, but also help you deliver high performance results under pressure.
The difference is like arm chair tourism vs actually taking the trip. Yes AI can show you pretty pictures, tell you what others experienced taking the trip, suggest places to go, but you won’t feel the wet spray of the ocean breeze, or feel how quickly the temperature drops after the sun sets.
That’s why, when it counts, the live Cheetah-certified PMP Coach is what helps you cross the finish line and pass the PMP exam.
