You can attend our live instructor-led, monthly Webinar from the comfort of your own home any month you wish, and in classrooms at select locations globally. High interaction with other participants and instructors occurs in both formats; in fact, we have seen no difference between them in terms of our 94% first-time pass rate, and our 100% second-time pass rate.
Both live courses, onsite and virtual Webinar, are 40 Actual Hours long, yielding the 35 minimum PMI-required Hours. Additionally, the average PMPยฎ finds that 1-2 hours of studying per day, for 3-6 weeks, prepares them to successfully pass the PMPยฎ exam.

As part of your Boot Camp Plus program, we will create a resume for you, translating your military experience into civilian-understood terminology. We will send an intake email just before the start of your course, asking a series of questions and requesting certain documentation. We use this information to create the first draft of your resume. Your first draft resume will come with instructions on the revision process, where we collaborate to get the resume โjust right.โ
Our Boot Camp Plus program includes a 2-page (usually) Standard resume geared toward private industry or government contractors. A Federal resume is much more involved, much longer, and contains much more detail. If you are interested in a Federal resume, we can provide that and the fee is $250.
Once your course starts, and you reply to the resume intake email you will receive a reply that tells you we have added you to the resume queue. One of the questions in the intake email is when you are transitioning and what is your target date for the resume. This is how we prioritize the queue. We can adjust your timeline if you need please just Contact Us.
No! It is a free service we provide Veterans!
We only provide one resume per student, however, usually one resume is more than sufficient. Your objectives may seem different, but usually they fit well into one resume. We provide information on how to easily adjust resumes toward job descriptions, which doesnโt require rewriting the resume for each job you are interested in. We have a generic cover letter template that we can provide you that helps target your expertise toward specific jobs. Youโll love it and it has proven to be very helpful, especially early in your transition.
Unfortunately, we donโt have enough time to create or revise LinkedIn profiles, and LinkedIn has very strict rules preventing multiple people from logging into one personโs account. The course will provide LinkedIn optimization strategies.
Because we help military veterans transition into meaningful and lucrative careers…and moreโฆwe wanted to ensure we help you with โThe Next Chapter,โ your job search! In fact, even if youโve been hired after your transition, you may be interested in an even better job down the line, and thatโs why we provide lifetime placement services.
Every student is entered into our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), named PurpleX. This is the system we use to manage our alumni, now called โcandidates.โ By having your resume entered into PurpleX you are visible to us and our trusted Corporate (Employer) Partners who are interested in hiring Veterans. Each Corporate Partner on the website tells a bit about their company and has links to their website so you can review their open job descriptions, some of which are posted on our Job Opportunities page.
PurpleX, our cultivated, proprietary candidate database is a unique tool available to recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition professionals, and contains thousands of candidates, trained and/or credentialed in the PMPยฎ & other highly sought-after industry certifications, possessing breadth of expertise across Technical, Business, and Operational disciplines. PurpleX candidates are mostly alumni of Vets2PM, but also includes other select Veterans and military spouses. You will even find a few non-veterans. All candidates in PurpleX have a relationship with Vets2PM, have requested inclusion in the database, or are past candidates from our job postings. We do not โinhaleโ people from other sources. In fact, we do daily quality assurance of the database and discard candidates who are not qualified to be in the system.
PurpleX candidates are all professional, educated, vetted, motivated, flexible, and interested in exploring roles with leading civilian organizations and government contractors.
PurpleX grows by approximately +/-60 candidates per month, and a PurpleX subscription includes a fee Corporate Partnership for the term of the subscription.
Every PurpleX subscription comes with two user credentials. Additional user credentials can be purchased for $200 each for the term of the subscription.
There is a serious gap between transitioning veterans, their ability to accurately convey their expertise, and a hiring company / prospective employerโs ability to identify and understand a candidateโs worth when their resume contains only โmilitary language and acronymsโ. The candidates in PurpleX have resumes that have been translated into civilian-understood terminology, with titles that convey their responsibilities, and makes identifying and hiring veteran professionals just as easy as hiring civilian candidates.
Corporate Partnership is a great way to draw veteran candidates to your website, to learn about your company, and view your open career opportunities. When you subscribe for a Corporate Partnership you include a website-quality company logo and a write up about your company and instructions on where to link both to your website (home page, careers page, etc.) Vets2PM draws thousands of viewers per month โ all veterans interested in their transition and thinking about their next career move.
