I took the online, weekend PMP boot camp in January 2020 and I was surprised by how effective the course was in preparing me for the PMP exam! The 4-day course was split into two weekends which helped a lot given that we had an entire week in between to internalize the knowledge from the first weekend session. The PMA boot camp course gave us access to a wealth of resources that were instrumental in reinforcing the concepts in the PMBOK Guide, and the practice exams that PMA offered gave us great feedback on our performance based on the process groups and knowledge areas. Our instructor, Bill Holmes, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during our sessions and his study recommendations were on point for setting his students up for success. Even when the course was over, Bill stayed in touch to assist us in preparing for the exam. Two weeks after the course concluded, I sat for the PMP exam and passed with 'Above Target' performances on all five process groups! I definitely recommend taking this course for anyone who's serious about earning his or her PMP certification! You will NOT regret it! read more

I participated in the PMP exam prep class offered by Project Management Academy, in July of 2017 (located in Colorado - Denver /Boulder /Broomfield area). I found the course to be well laid out and the course materials included were extremely helpful. The course was a four, full day, duration and covered all areas of the PMP material. As a bonus, the course also covered test tips and tricks, exam day preparation and a full length timed and scored mock exam to show you how you progressed . Post class, the PMA website is also a great resource to help you continue preparing for the exam. My instructor was Gregg D. Richie, PMP. He was extremely knowledgeable in the area of project management and how PMI treats the subject matter for the test. Gregg was a wonderful instructor who was truly interested in our success both in passing the exam, and beyond. I would highly recommend PMA for your exam prep! read more

I attended the Oct 2017 class in Broomfield, CO. The PMP class was taught David Smyth. Mr. Smyth provided detailed and organized training. He is very knowledgeable in the field of project management, and was able to provide detailed, real world examples to re-enforce the training material. The class had a nice flow, which encouraged collaboration without letting students get off subject. I welcome future training with this organization, and with Mr. Smyth. The organization's online resources were what I needed. Online resources included timed/un-timed exams, flash cards, videos of each section to refresh a subject and Friday meetings online to re-enforce need subjects. I passed the PMP seven weeks after taking the class, on the first try. read more

I attended the PMA (PMP Exam Prep) Course the week of December 12, 2016. PMA offers not only an excellent course, but also tutorials, mock exams, literature, and guidance on successfully navigating and passing the PMP exam. In truth, I felt that the PMA mock exams were more difficult than the actual PMI PMP exam. However, the PMI PMP Exam should not be taken lightly. Martin Payne was my instructor and he conducts a very professional class and gives very insightful recommendations and real world experience on how project management is conducted. His stories assist in your learning objectives. In addition, he offers his services in guiding you through the application process. Enjoy the class, study hard, and get your PMP. read more

I was able to take the PMP exam and passed it on my first take. I am writing to express my appreciation for the training and preparation I received through Project Management Academy and particularly the classroom experience as conducted by Martin Payne. I attribute my success largely due to Mr. Payne, the course structure and the extensive study aids provided by PMA. The subject matter is extensive, varied and with a high degree of difficulty (in my opinion). Mr. Payne did an exceptional job of presenting the material in a logical and practical manner all the while keeping me focused on the essentials. I certain I could not have passed the exam without this experience. Thank you PMA and Mr. Payne! read more

I took the PMP bootcamp in November 2017 with David Smyth. Definitely try to get this instructor, if you can. As an experienced project manager, I had my own terminology and jargon, so David's ability to distinguish the PMI way from my 'real world' experience was essential to helping me pass the exam just 6 weeks after taking the course. He used funny stories to help me remember the concepts and frameworks, and for all the vocab you have to memorize, he has great tricks like mnemonic devices and analogies to help you remember them. Then, even after the course ended, he answered a bunch of my other questions as I studied--very responsive and helpful. I don't know how I would have passed it without him! read more

I took the PMI ACP course through Project management Academy. our instructor Sean Coyle was outstanding. His knowledge of the material and presentation methods were relevant and easy to remember during the exam. The material Project Management Academy provided, along with the online practice exams were on point and aided me in scoring above target in 6/7 areas and on target for the 7th. If you are looking to add another credential to your PMP, I strongly recommend the Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) course through Project Management Academy, and if your lucky enough to get Sean as the instructor, you will have no problems with the exam.

I recently completed the 4-day Project Management Academy PMP prep course taught by David Smyth in Colorado Springs. Mr. Smyth was well-prepared and professional. He provided a superb overview of the PMP course material and spent a lot of time helping the four attendees to determine how best to prepare for the exam. Mr. Smyth has extensive program management experience and did a great job of relating the course material to the challenges of actual program management. I believe the course has given me an outstanding foundation for preparing for the PMP exam. I highly recommend the course to anyone seeking PMP certification. read more

I attended an in-person class in mid-November with David Smyth. I thought it would be a high level overview exam prep, where you're expected to know process groups and terminology beforehand but I was over-prepared. You can take this class with minimal PMBOK exposure and come out with a solid understanding of the material. Mr. Smyth was courteous and knowledgeable; participating in his lectures was a breeze. He incorporated real world scenarios into the coursework to help bridge the gap between stuffy definitions and practical application. I enjoyed every minute! I passed my PMP with three ATs a few weeks after this course. read more

I've taken 2 classes with PMA over the past year, and I've been blown away by the quality of the material and the presentation! I took a class with Martin Payne in October last year. He was an amazing instructor, and brought lots of real world experience into his teaching. I've also taken a course with Gregg D. Richie in June of this year. He was also a great instructor, and was able to communicate difficult topics in a variety of ways, and made sure all of the students thoroughly understood the material. 5 Stars! Couldn't ask for more!! read more

I attended the September 2021 virtual class with John D and passed Above Target in all the test domains only two weeks after finishing the bootcamp. John's explanations and willingness to answer all my questions really made me feel prepared before taking the test. He knew exactly what areas to focus on, and used personal experience stories to help expand on the material. As someone at the start of my career with only the bare minimum PM experience, that really helped me. I would highly recommend John's class. read more

I took the 4 day PMP bootcamp with David Smyth in September in Louisville Co. I passed first time and overall was above target. I cannot imagine being able to do that without this course. David is an excellent instructor, he knew exactly how to present the PMI terminology and how it can differ from common use. He was great at pointing out topics of importance and how information gets presented in the exam. If you want an effective and efficient way to get your PMP - take this course and ask for David. read more

I highly recommend taking the Project Management boot camp if your preparing for your PMP exam. The instructor, David Smyth, was excellent and was very knowledgeable and provided great examples of past experiences that helped learn the material. Best thing about the boot camp was that it gave a good overview of the material and the Project Management Academy provided great study the material and online practice exams. Put in the study time and you will pass the first time. Good luck! read more

Took the 4 day PMP Bootcamp in Longmont, September 2018 and highly recommend PMA if you are looking to get your PMP. Sean Coyle was our instructor and did a fantastic job breaking down the subject matter, emphasizing critical topics and adding outside context to make the topics more applicable. Two weeks later I sat for the PMP exam and passed on the first try - which I fully attribute to the bootcamp and the advice/recommendations that were given by Sean for being successfull. read more

I took the course in June in Colorado Springs, not fully knowing what it would be like. The instructor David Smyth did a great job as we had a diverse group with all levels of experience in the classroom. He has a way of making the material relatable. He had a well laid out plan for our 4 days of intense training along with a study plan that ensured we would pass. Excellent Program and would highly recommend it to others that want to get their PMP. read more

The 4-day PMP Boot Camp with the instructor Sean Coyle was a great experience. He was energetic, enthusiastic, and clearly had a deep understanding of the material. He used real-world stories to illustrate key concepts, answered our questions throughout the course, and encouraged us to reach out as soon as we pass the exam! I would highly recommend this course and instructor for anyone looking to pursue their PMP certification. read more

I took a Project Management boot camp in August 2017 with Martin Payne as the instructor and found it highly beneficial. His real-world experience and depth of knowledge helped me retain the intense 4-day training and pass my PMP Exam. Martin also made himself available after the class for questions which I very much appreciated! I plan on taking further classes through PMA in the future and highly recommend them. read more

Really appreciate David H. Smyth's teaching and support at the PMP boot camp. Great group of Broomfield, CO professionals in the class as well. I was seriously over prepared for my CAPM certification as a result of the practical training, the thorough course and the PMA site exams and materials. Passed the first time with above target. Excited about the future and planning to sit the PMI-ACP. Thanks! read more

I took the two week PMP course in October 2020 with John Dokos and highly recommend it. Being virtual the four hours a day was the perfect amount of time to spend on the content. John was a wonderful instructor, he provided real world examples on important topics and took the time to explain things to the class. The material covered helped me prepare for the exam and pass. Highly recommend. read more
