PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, December 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cheetah Learning proudly recognizes Dan Byrne, MBA, PMP®, as a Distinguished Cheetah Alum following a milestone achievement that underscores the impact of accelerated professional preparation.— Dan Byrne, MBA, PMP®
Byrne completed Cheetah Learning’s four-day accelerated PMP® exam preparation program in 2024 and became PMP® certified the day after completing the program. During that same week, he was promoted into KPMG US’s management group, where he currently serves as a Manager in Federal Advisory.
Byrne brings more than 10 years of leadership experience as an Army Logistics Officer in the Maryland National Guard and has managed over $90 million in federal research and development funding. His rapid certification and promotion highlight how focused, high-performance preparation can immediately translate into career advancement.
“Getting the PMP® was the gold star to pin on my resume,” Byrne said. “Cheetah’s approach helped me show up calm, focused, and ready to perform when it mattered most.”
Beyond the credential itself, Byrne credits Cheetah Learning’s holistic methodology - which integrates accelerated learning, focus training, and test-anxiety management — with reshaping how he approaches high-stakes challenges. Prior to enrolling, standardized testing had been a significant obstacle. The techniques he learned during the four-day program continue to support him professionally and academically.
Today, Byrne is pursuing a Master of Science in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at Johns Hopkins University, applying the same preparation strategies and confidence developed through Cheetah Learning.
According to the Project Management Institute’s 13th Edition Salary Survey, PMP®-certified professionals in the United States earn a median salary of $120,000, compared to $93,000 for non-certified peers - a difference of approximately 29%.
“Dan’s experience reflects what we see consistently,” said a Cheetah Learning spokesperson. “When experienced professionals are given the right structure and preparation, even one of the world’s most demanding certifications can be achieved in days - with results that last.”
Cheetah Learning congratulates Dan Byrne on his continued success and proudly recognizes him as a Distinguished Cheetah Alum.
