Jeff did an amazing job bringing the subject to life with stories. I do think this helped. But I believe PMTI needs to update their approach. Since the exam is situational, more class room instruction on how to approach questions would be helpful. Thanks Phil

Overall, the speaker did a commendable job of covering the material in a concise manner and provided valuable examples to support the content. However, I felt that the balance between lecturing and allowing time for reflection could be improved. There was limited opportunity to digest the information, and it would have been beneficial to spend more time exploring how the material directly applies to our daily tasks. Additionally, I didn’t find the practice test to fully represent the format of questions on the actual exam. Furthermore, there were technical issues with the video volume control that affected the viewing experience. Lastly, I would have appreciated having access to the highlighter tool during the course, as it is available in the actual test environment.

As someone who previously had little exposure to the Agile framework and the detailed processes underlying project management, the PMTI PMP Bootcamp did a great job introducing the essential concepts needed to approach the PMP exam. I certainly benefited from the overview of this information. Where I would recommend improvement for the course might entail an overhaul to how the course is administered. The way the PMP exam asks questions is very predictable once you get into the flow of it. While there are a few exceptions, the majority of questions are presented as follows: You're in the [initiation, planning, executing, ...] phase, a specific situation is described, and then you are asked, as a Project Manager, what you would do, do first, do next, or have done to avoid the situation. There are a lot of tips and tricks to approach these, and I feel I most benefited from online video explanations of how to approach these situational questions through 2-3 examples followed by an overview of the applicable project management concepts. Because there is a lot of material in the PMBOK Guide that, while having its own value, does not show up in the exam, I feel more time should have been spent walking through situational exam-type questions as opposed to reviewing PMBOK material that will not show up in the exam. Moreover, I felt that the PMI Study Hall questions provided better preparation than the PMTI options given that the UI was more or less identical to that of the official exam, and the 15-question practice exams were more palpable than the full-blown 180 question exams while offering insights into strategy, answering cadence, and overall proficiency.

At the time I enrolled in the boot camp, I was having difficulty self-learning and was looking for guidance in my preparation for the PMP exam. Despite doing everything that was requested as a prerequisite for the boot camp and post-classes, I have never received support from the coach or the personnel. My experience was that I paid for only four days of training, nothing else, no follow-up, no coaching, nothing else. I enjoyed the training materials and videos, but I did not receive any coaching or follow-up. Maybe I misunderstood your message on the webpage or I did not read it properly and I created false expectations. Thank you so much.

I think the PMTI course offers a good foundation for preparing you to take the test. However, I do believe that the practice exam questions are not as good as they could be. The tests lay a foundation but they are not worded in the way the actual test questions are asked on the test. I got more out of downloading the practice exam on the PMI Global website as those questions are asked and worded more like the actual test exam questions are.

I was a good training course but it really not teach how to answer the questions. They teach you content but the questions. They don’t go through examples of questions where the explain what PMI is looking for you to answer. I feel like I passed the PMP test not because the PMTI training course rather with PMI Study Hall and watching videos in you tube on how to ace the test.

Coming from a 'non-project management' background the bootcamp left me feeling like a deer in headlights! So much information. (Of course that is what bootcamps are for) The class was fine. PMTI did what they said they would do and that is provide all of the information needed. It was your basic, 'Death by Powerpoint"! However, I am an experiencial learner. I beleive; what would have been very beneficial to me (and the 6 other team members who took the bootcamp) was to spend some time putting those 4 days of powerpoints and data overload into practice. Make all of that data mean something and show me how the 600 plus slides are put into reality. Show me what a Project charter actually looks like and how that is developed, or a team charter. Give me a practical example of a quality matrix. Thankfully our instructor added another 100 slides for our class to review that showed some of the subjects in more, understandable detail. Oh...and put a table of contents or index in the blue book! It took too much time to find specific topics in the blue book, so I rarely used it for studying. Again , this was a bootcamp and my team came with little formal project Management experience. We have already benefited from the material we have learned. However, memorizing words and definitions from a slide deck, was not enough to pass the test. I beleive it would have been helpful to participate in a sample project to see how 600+ slides come together to form a project.

Teach us how to approach the test. I heard many individuals say they struggled with time management during the test. I found a way (on my own) that taught me how to approach the test and not get caught up in the scenario. It worked very well for me and time management wasn't an issue. PMTI should spend some time with this, taking practice exams only goes so far.
