Before selecting a PMP training course, it is wise to search what will fit your training needs, and the Project Management Academy did just that for me. I vetted their program very aggressively, and I was very pleased with the granularity and details of the boot camp. I searched several online courses, versus in class onsite training, and the Project Management Academy lead the pack with an onsite boot camp, that allowed the students to have a live instructor to interact with, and that was a must for me.
Also the onsite class connected local PMP aspirants, so we could form study groups if needed, which can help as well. One thing that I would like to point out, is the in class training material. It included the PMBOK Guide 5th edition, and several laminated handouts, that explained the detailed information that you will need to know for the exam, without studying for long hours (A PMP Strategy guide) and that was very helpful for me.
Gregg Richie PMP was the instructor, and a great one at that. He has the experience as a seasoned project manager, and as a PMP instructor, so he understood the journey that we were undertaking as students. After the boot camp, I sat for the exam three weeks later, and passed on the first try (05/13/2015). I have no doubt that the Project Management Academy's boot camp would serve you as a valuable asset in preparation for the PMP exam, but you must be willing to put in the work, as outlined in the boot camp. I give my highest recommendation to anyone that is planning on sitting for the PMP or CAPM certifications, to enroll as soon as possible with the Project Management Academy, and good luck to you all.
