Project Management Academy Avis 830

The Instructor was fantastic. He provided a lot of one-on-one attention and held my attention for what could be a dry subject. Would certainly attend another of Mike's courses!

4+ stars for course content. 1 star for course follow up. For $2K I expect more help with next steps. We spent an hour at the end of the 4th session with the instructor running quickly through the next steps - I took the 4 hour mock exam to establish a baseline but have not figured out how to access the PMI website to fill out the 2nd evaluation and to start studying effectively.

This course certainly helped me to focus in on the concepts that I was less familiar with. The instructor had real world experience that I could relate to and kept the material interesting. I passed above target in all three domains on the first attempt.

I knew almost nothing about the world of formal project management before taking this course. It was intense and covered a lot of material, but it felt manageable because of Russ’s extensive knowledge and masterful teaching style. There are a plethora of study tools to prepare for the exam and I am finding them useful. Of course, the real test will be when I take the exam! If you are considering getting your PMP credentials I can’t imagine a better preparatory course.

Exceptional PMP Boot Camp (+bonus day) instruction. Course materials and online resources are very useful and easy to digest. Post Course support and feedback contributed to increases in my knowledge of the material. I spend 3-6 hours each day studying for the exam. I plan to sit for the PMP exam ~ 1 month from completing the course. Update: I took the exam on 9/10/22 and passed (above target in all three categories. The PMA program works!

PMA offers the PMP Exam Prep course in-person which allows you to focus and absorb the material without distractions of taking the course virtually. So far, those in our in-person, instructor led prep course, have passed the PMP exam the first try. Our instructor, Shaheed Hickman, was professional, personable and kept us engaged the entire time. I truly believe the way PMA teaches/reviews the PMBOK and exam material is the key to passing the first time. Highly recommend.

This class was very helpful and prepped me to take the test.

My instructor was knowledgeable and a great resource to have for success.

The class was great and Rob was very passionate about the material and making sure we understood what to expect on the exam.

A lot of material was covered in the four days and preparing for the exam seemed daunting. I followed PMA's recommendations and took the mock exam within 72 hours after class ended. I focused my studies on the areas the exam showed I needed improvement.

With this crazy life and all it's demands, I didn't get a chance to study as much as I would have liked. I challenged myself and set my exam date as soon as I could. I studied in little bits often, but didn't cram.

I passed my exam on the first attempt this past Saturday. Thank's PMA and Rob for your efforts!

The online boot camp was a great experience. Mark Francesco is an excellent instructor who kept everyone engaged and it made for a pleasant and productive week. There were no issues that may cause the training to go off track or otherwise be delayed. I learned a great deal and I feel confident that I will obtain the PMP certification, hopefully on the first try.

This course was very comprehensive and fully prepared me for the PMP Exam. My instructor Derek Beck was an excellent lecturer and knowledge source. Highly recommend this course (and Derek) to any prospective PMP Exam takers.

The agent that assisted me was terrific. She was very polite, helpful and provided exceptional customer care.

Easy to us and very pragmatic training. the new portal seems to be developing some still. overall i like the portal but some components seem a bit disjointed.

The course material was very robust and covered all the material required for the exam, however the instructor was not professional, ignored questions, and jumped all over the place so the course was not easy to follow. I learned more from a book purchased online than from the 8 days in this course.

The PMA PMP bootcamp was a great springboard to being ready to take the PMI PMP exam. The instructor was very knowledgeable and the content was relevant.

Boot camp instructor was great but the vast majority of the material covered was NOT on the actual PMP exam. The practice exams helped to some degree but were a joke in comparison to the real thing. My entire exam was situational, and not one question regarding methods, terms, diagrams, analysis, math/equations, ITTOs, nomenclature, graphs, theories and the list goes on. Not really sure PMA helped at all if it wasn't for the efforts to study on my own accord. I passed but I really wish I had been prepared for the format!

Excellent course with knowledgeable instructor. The four days of instruction went by quickly and at a pace that made it easier to grasp the course content. Would recommend PMA to others.

The instructor for my particular class was by far the best instructor for any class (professional or personal) that I've ever had. He used his industry experience in order to highlight key points throughout the course, and was more than engaging.

The training was well conducted. Instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to clear queries with great examples.Materials and resources provided were very helpful for future reference and exam prep.

I took the face-to-face boot camp in preparation for my PMP Exam. The instructor was a great resource of the PMBOK content, as well as the test preparation and test taking process. The follow-up work they gave me to get me ready to take the exam has me very well setup to pass.

I would give 0 stars if possible. This was the absolute worst training program I have ever experienced. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROGRAM. The instructor Allan Young may have extensive experience as a PM but absolutely no knowledge of how to TEACH. He spoke in a mechanical drone the entire 4 days, often mumbling at the end of his sentences with no excitement or emphasis at all. It was like listening to a turtle talk for 4 days. He NEVER engaged with the class to ask about our professional experiences and how it tied into the curriculum and he never used teaching techniques to recall knowledge, or test a slide we just covered. In fact, when he would ask the class a question he'd interrupt someone answering to correct their response. This completely shut down conversation in the classroom. This class was PM training hell.
