I had zero knowledge before coming in. Not only the class gave me hands-on real life trading experience (with paper money of-course), it gave me a really good refresher and new insights into reading trends correctly and setting the entry and exits correctly. Day 4, was brutal and I was feeling lost and clueless... But on day 5, things suddenly fell in place. I learnt two valuable lessons, that I was missing in my understanding. This goes to show, that having the company of experts in any field multiplies our effectiveness. I have asked dozens of questions and gotten satisfactory answers. The instructors are not giving the fish but teaching us how to fish. I am truely grateful to have this available. The fee will pay itself many times over, if you are passionate and committed to learn, be challenged and mend your ways (the last one is esp. hard for me!). Thank you Jordan, Joohong, Seema and everyone else on the staff!

I took the Project Management Fundamentals class with Professor Hans Meijer in April of 2026, and I…read morehonestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was truly impressed by how much valuable information we were able to fit into a one-day class while still keeping everything clear, engaging, and easy to follow. Professor Meijer has a great way of breaking down project management concepts and industry terms so they actually make sense. He was able to connect with everyone in the room--whether you were brand new to project management or already had experience leading projects--and make the material feel relevant to where you are right now. Nothing felt overly complicated; it all had real-world meaning. We followed the PMBOK, and what really stood out to me was how much effort he put into making sure everyone understood the material. The hands-on exercises throughout the day helped everything click and made the learning stick instead of just feeling like information being thrown at us. I am eternally grateful for this class and for Professor Meijer's approach to teaching. I'm walking away with knowledge and tools that I can use immediately, and I know these lessons will stay with me as I continue to grow and manage projects in my current role as a project coordinator. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in project management.

Project Management Academy (PMA) is a Verified Premier Authorized Training Partner for the Project…read moreManagement Institute (PMI). I did their Basic PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp ($1995.00). This included the 35 hours of PMI approved instructor training, thousands of practice questions, supplemental course videos, post class tutoring and this "100% money-back guarantee" which was the most appealing part of the deal. This 100% money-back guarantee comes with conditions to be met prior to taking the test, so it is not as simple as it sounds. The education materials were available online but there was an option for the printed option ($35.00) which I decided to get since it would have costed me more in ink to print it all out myself. Worth it!! I like taking notes and writing all over my books and highlighting things. Prior to the class, it is recommended to take a pre course assessment to get your baseline. No comment on my baseline conditions. It was not great! I did my boot camp from March 1-4 @8:30-6pm PT with Mike Martin II. In retrospect I really should have signed up for a central time course since I am naturally an early bird and I really felt my brain struggling after 4pm everyday. Mike was great! Very engaging. His stories made the material a lot more relatable and easy to remember. 5 stars for Mike!! But PMA is bound to PMI course materials and the order of the slides were not, in my humble opinion, the best order. To overcome this, Mike did have some supplemental materials for the class which was most helpful. The class I was on had great participation so it made the class more active. I can tell Mike was very passionate and was invested in all of the students' success. He provided his personal information if we needed help after the course and encouraged us to apply for the exam, ask him if we have questions with the application and get a date in the books so it happens. The course is only as good as what you make of it. After the boot camp, I did a Mock Test and the Mock Test review session. I made sure to do Timed Practiced Tests once a week, attend the weekly Friday tutoring session (12-2pm PT/3-5pm ET), practice questions and situational questions. The situational questions are most helpful, but limited. When I went to take it the second time, it seemed like all the same questions. I wish they had more situational questions. My favorite tutoring sessions were with Mike Martin II and Stephen Hoogerwerf. They were helpful and organized, and their teaching styles were a good fit for me. If your class dates are flexible, I recommend finding a class that they are teaching. They also have Topic Review Videos. These videos were sooooooooo boring!! Not a fan. I actually ended up going on You-Tube to watch better made videos. Sorry, not sorry. Had to do what I needed to do to ensure my success. For the amount of money this course cost, I expect a bit more. I passed on my first try on April 10th with Above Target in all 3 Domains and on the overall test, but it required me exploring other studying avenues. I don't feel like PMA alone would have been enough. A part of this might be due to the PMP Exam version change at the beginning of 2021. As a large company their practice exam questions might take longer to adapt than a small company. Just an observation. Still very grateful. Cheers!!

Cheryl is just a blessing, to me it seems that she loves what she does and that's why she's teaching so well. What i liked the most with our session was that I always felt I'm improving.

We stopped our tutoring when I was pregnant and I'm still planning to come back to our sessions as soon as my babyboys get a little bit older. I enjoyed our class a lot, I loved everything about it & I appreciate her work a lot.
