Project Management Academy

I attended the PMI PMP Prep course in Las Vegas on November 16^th. The training was a great balance of the PMI curriculum and real world examples from the experience of our instructor Joe Drammissi and the other participants in the class. Joe made the material much more engaging than it otherwise would have been. I passed the testing and received my PMP at the beginning of January. I’m almost certain I would be re-​testing if I hadn’t have participated in the prep course. Supervisor was thrilled, thanks again!

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 5^th 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.

I highly recommend this course to anyone considering taking the PMP exam. Our instructor, Gregg D. Ritchie was exceptionally knowledgeable and he made the class interesting, fun and best of all he delivered the information in a way that made it easy to understand and retain. The materials were especially great study guides, the online practice exams were invaluable, and the instructor was one of the best I have ever had. I could not have passed the exam the first time without this course, the instructor and the course materials. Overall a fantastic experience!

Terrific experience using this company to prepare for my PMP Certification Exam! Our instructor, Gregg Richie was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He was able to keep the class engaged with a good mix of examples, an organized presentation of info, and a sense of humor! The curriculum, class materials, and instruction laid a strong foundation. I glad I made the decision to take this class. I passed the Exam — the time and money were a great investment! :)
