Comments by PMP® Holders
- “The course is extremely practical, with lots of hands on exercises from different industries, which is good to help implement the methodology in your ongoing projects. The PMBOK Guide applied to reality. I plan to rinse and repeat this course over and over again. One of the few great practical courses out there! ” –Alain Yeno

- “I am renewing my PMP. I especially like the part about the decision points at the beginning and the end of the planning process. I also like the 5% cost of doing an estimate. In my current project our CEO is criticizing us for using experts that cost us well under the 5% – now I have ammunition!” –Brent Campbell

I have purchased many training materials, software labs, video courses, study guides, etc., and this was hands down the best material I have used to further my knowledge.” – Christopher Irons
- “I am interviewing for a PM position in two days. I took this course as a refresher to boost my confidence. It not only boosted my confidence, but gave me valuable insight into key PMBOK areas that I haven’t considered since I received my PM I certification in 2012. I thoroughly enjoyed the comprehensive approach, the provided resources and real world examples. Also, I am able to improve my resume, as I now understand how certain PM functions, that I have been performing for years, are much more valuable than I thought.” –Dan Bischoff
