Project Management Academy

The Project Management Academy called me the day after I posted my initial review and apologized profusely after talking to me very curtly when I called to resolve the issue of certificate they still hadn’t sent me. Additionally, they apologized profusely for their instructor’s lateness and poor facilitation. They offered to have me come to another 4 day boot camp, which I explained I did not need, and additionally could not take another week away from work to correct their mistakes.
This is when it gets interesting– the company offered me a full refund (I did not ask for this) becuase they were sorry that the class hadn’t been satisfactory to make things right. I actually thought this was a really upstanding offer from a company to right their wrong and had planned on amending my review to state this. They then asked me that since they were giving me a full refund would I be willing to remove my 2-​star review. I told them candidly I don’t know how I would feel about that ethically, and I thought the review was a factual, unbiased assessment.
Today I called to see where the certificate was and on the status of the refund. I was told the company put the certificate in the mail the day after I called, as of today it is still yet to arrive, they told me it might be here the next day. When I asked about the refund they told me that since I wouldn’t remove the review we hadn’t come to resolution so they would not be refunding me. It is very interesting that the first time it was presented as a refund for the class not being satisfactory when really it was the company offering a refund to remove my review. I am very wary of all the reviews on Unilocal now, this is how I selected this company to do a PMP class with and I showed bad judgment in trusting these reviews. Very disappointing experience overall.

They are very willing to work with you regarding passing the PMP exam. Customer service is great as well.

I took the PMP Boot Camp course at The Project Management Academy March 23 – 26, 2015 at 71 W. 23^rd Street, NY, NY. Our course instructor was Asad Haque. I can’t say enough good things about Asad who displayed incredible energy and enthusiasm throughout the long course hours. The PMI PMBOK text is a bear to get through and the Project Management Academy has developed a truly outstanding Preparation Course for the exam. The combination of an outstanding instructor and course proved to be a winning combination for me as I passed the exam a week later. Asad Haque’s practical guidance and straight talk about the effort required to pass the test was very helpful to me. The test isn’t easy, but the PMA’s approach is very helpful.

PMA provided great in class handouts and the website is a wonderful resource with practice questions and weekly tutoring sessions. The teachers are knowledgeable. I passed on my first try!
