This course provided wonderful tips and tricks for memorizing content, understanding topics, and testing your knowledge. The instructors were easy to schedule meetings with and responded quickly and with quality answers to any messages. I enjoyed the little tips on how to remember things. I enjoyed the pocket prep guide. I liked when the lecture was happening and the instructor would say for example if you had a question on the exam…. that helped me see how the concept would be turned into a question.

I started by studying all the materials up to 3 times before I decided to subscribe to “Omnipear Courses”, having already spent a considerable amount of time and money on the CMP, I felt guilty spending any more of these two regarding my family. But navigating through the OmniPear website and looking at how everything seemed easy I decided to make one last investment before going to the exam, I am more than happy for taking this step, the course made everything easy, the tips and reference guide that Sir Dion Magee was giving were amazing. The team was always there, responding, and assisting via Zoom calls, and all helped tremendously in the exam, I applied all the techniques and here I am, a CMP graduate! Thank you for all the Omnipear team and thank you Sir Dion Magee for guiding me through my CMP.

The videos were not only educational but also entertaining, which elevated my learning. The videos were grouped by domains, which also helped me with retaining the information. Besides the great videos with fantastic graphics, the addition of the booklet of “important things to know,” was extremely helpful for me to study right before the exam. Also, the “tips” from Dion in the videos were excellent.

The training was very straight forward and I loved the additional study materials. The flashcards and quizzes. Being able to review and see the questions that were missed was really helpful. Sir Dion, you are the best! I’m amazed at how quickly you’re able to respond to questions and remain available at all times. I really appreciate your hard work and dedication!

I sincerely enjoyed the CTA training and was impressed with the education and quality put forward. Having been in the meeting/event industry for 30+ years, the education was SPOT ON what we want those in the industry to know when working corporate events. Good stuff! The presenter’s enthusiasm and subject matter expertise were delivered with excellence. It made the training super engaging—no feedback for improvements. What was validated for me is that anyone going through this course and applying for a position with me for travel director support, will be properly informed/knowledgable about expectations.

I was looking to revise my business plan and refresh my event planning business, so I purchased the “VIP All-Access Pass” for step-by-step instruction on building the foundation for successful growth. The individual lessons come in bite-size chunks that are easy to digest. Dion Magee’s voice is melodic and not overpowering. From building the foundation to operations, pricing strategy, marketing and financials, the information and tools he delivers along the way make it easy to follow. The investment of my time, money, and energy was worth every penny! I’m excited to start fresh and continue to build my business from here.
