The course content of the PMP Training was very well organized and structured. The trainer took us nicely through the course. The PMBoK5 was covered very nicely. The video contents are very clear and easily understood. Good going.

The PMP boot camp was a great experience. I felt very well informed about what was included in the fee, how to log in to the sessions and all my questions were answered promptly. The trainer was thorough and personable. She allowed plenty of time for questions and was willing to review the information multiple times if asked. I feel like I’m more prepared to take the exam and recommend this approach to others.
