Do the PMP Readiness Self Check to See Which Approach is Right for You
Are all three PMP formats teaching the same material?
Yes — the PMP exam outcome is the same across all formats.
What differs is how much external structure and accountability you need to execute successfully.
- The content is consistent
- The learning environment is intentionally different
This ensures you’re paying for the right level of support, not duplicative content.
Is the Live In-Person PMP Sprint “better” than the virtual options?
No — it is more immersive, not better.
The Live In-Person PMP Sprint is designed for people who:
- Need to be physically removed from daily responsibilities
- Want maximum focus with zero competing priorities
If you are capable of executing on a fixed schedule without travel, Virtual Live is the better choice.
Why is the Live In-Person Sprint more expensive?
Because it removes more constraints.
You are paying for:
- Physical separation from work and home
- Forced focus and real-time accountability
- A fully immersive learning environment
This option exists for candidates who cannot afford distraction — not for convenience.
Is the Virtual Live PMP Sprint the same class as the in-person version?
The structure, schedule, and coaching intensity are the same.
What’s different:
- You attend from your own location
- You are responsible for protecting your environment
- You manage distractions independently
This format is ideal for disciplined professionals who want live coaching without travel.
Why is the Online Directed Immersion Sprint less expensive?
Because it requires more independence from you.
Directed Immersion provides:
- A fixed study structure
- Clear daily direction
- Proven Cheetah systems
It does not include:
- Live cohort accountability
- Real-time instructor presence
- Enforced pacing
This format is best for learners who already know they can execute independently once given the rails.
How do I know which format is right for me?
Ask yourself one question:
What is most likely to prevent me from passing the PMP exam?
- Distractions I can’t control → Live In-Person Sprint
- Need live structure but no travel → Virtual Live Sprint
- I work well independently with a plan → Online Directed Immersion Sprint
If flexibility is not your problem, don’t pay to solve it.
Can I switch formats after enrolling?
No — and this is intentional.
Each format is designed for a different execution profile.
Allowing casual switching undermines the discipline required for success.
If you are unsure, we recommend choosing the Virtual Live PMP Sprint, which fits the widest range of candidates.
Is the Online Directed Immersion “self-paced”?
No.
It is structured, scheduled, and intentional — but not live.
You receive:
- Clear expectations
- Daily guidance
- Proven study flows
You do not receive:
- Live instructor enforcement
- Cohort pressure to keep pace
Which format has the highest pass rate?
All formats are designed to meet Cheetah’s performance standards when matched to the right learner.
The biggest risk to success is choosing a format that does not match how you actually execute.
What does Cheetah recommend most often?
For most candidates:
👉 Virtual Live PMP Sprint
It provides:
- Live coaching
- Fixed schedule
- High accountability
without requiring travel or time away from home.
The other formats exist because not all constraints are the same.
Bottom Line
You are not choosing between:
- “Good / Better / Best”
You are choosing between:
- Flexibility
- Immersion
- Independence
Choose the format that removes your biggest obstacle — and let the system do the rest.
