Recently took the onsite PMP Exam Prep Training course. The class information was great, instructor was first class and met some great people with like-minded interest. 100% recommend.

I thought my experience at PMA was awesome! I was a little worried that the virtual experience would not be as good as live, but my instructor, Michael Toothman, presented a thorough class and I feel that I am set up for success!

Our instructor was amazing. Knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. He was easy to talk to and helped with any questions brought up.

The class itself seems a bit out dated. Most of the material covered wasn’t on the test, but more importantly it didn’t really help with the mindset required to pass. The class was basically just slides and the instructor reading the slides. There was some questionable content that was challenged by the class, and the instructor needed to review it on their own to determine its validity. Because of the method of instruction I don’t believe the live class was as worth as maybe just watching prerecorded videos. I did take the extra day, and this had a different instructor. I was getting 55%-65% on the 180’s and didn’t feel confident. When reaching out for assistance I was getting conflicting feedback. I did end up getting PMI’s study hall, and was getting 85%_95% on the tests. When I did take my PMP I passed with 3xAT. I cannot recommend this product, it’s very expensive and it seems to be training on an older version. Though I am not sure, when asked I was told that the slides and content were provided by PMI and only the first and last part were PMA, the rest mandates by PMI. Either way, I think you will be better served by reading both the PMBoK v6 and 7, and using PMI study hall. Good luck on your exams!

John was fantastic and I passed the PMP exam on the first attempt

The instructor was high energy and got us engaged with the materials, guided us through the application process, as well as the course follow up which was a critical success factor. The PMA website was easy to use and contained excellent content for study. I passed the certification!

Course was intense. John Sanderson was a great instructor and made sure everyone understood the material. He provided relevant guidance on exam prep.

The instruction and layout of the course is a fantastic way to learn a lot of information quickly and set us up for success. Sean is a phenomenal instructor!
