The class the was extremely valuable for any project manager looking to get their PMP. The instructor John Sanderson provided a great frame work for how to both pass the PMP and become a better project manager. The content was presented in a logical and straight forward manner. I feel much more prepared to pass the PMP after completing the course. read more

I took this course in April 2025 and had a great experience. It was very informative and well-structured. Hans is an excellent instructor who clearly knows the material inside and out. He took the time to thoroughly explain each concept, breaking things down in a way that made it easy to understand, even for those new to project management. I feel much more confident going into the certification exam thanks to this course! read more

I took the PMP class offered in Maitland in December 2024 with John Sanderson. It was exactly the boost I needed to feel prepared and ready to take the PMP Certification exam. I passed with Above Target scores after this course. I highly, highly recommend the 4 day session. It is a thorough overview taught by a very knowledgeable and supportive PM. The pace and breaks felt great and keep everyone engaged throughout the exhaustive amount of content to cover. read more

Jon was my instructor for the PMI prep exam. His experience was very beneficial and he made long days entertaining. Highly recommend!

I was lucky to do my pmp exam prep course with John Sanderson. This is a long course (4 days) and he brought so much energy and expertise into the training. I left after 4 days feeling like I had all of the tools for success on the exam at my fingertips. I did classes in Maitland, FL during 2 consecutive weekends this month. John provided a lot of interaction, great perspectives, and created an open and welcoming classroom where we weren't afraid to ask questions. This will be money well spent. read more

Took the split weekend PMP training in July with John Sanderson as the instructor. Excellent conversation and discussion of the materials. The in person training along with the online material made for all I needed to pass on the first try! The money back policy is awesome but passing the first time was even better! read more

Took the PMP class taught by John Sanderson. John did a great job making the material interesting and easier to understand. His use of real life experiences to give examples of certain things made the content easier to digest and helped me remember terms, processes and documents. Once I pass my PMP I look forward to eating a slice of cake and toasting John for being a great teacher. read more

I took the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification prep course offered by Project Management Academy in January 2024. The course was offered during a time that worked for me, which was the weekends. I had a great instructor, Mr. Michael A. Giacalone. He knew the material and often provided the class with real world examples of the project management processes he was teaching. Along with the instructor led course, Project Management Academy also provided access to training resources that included recorded lectures, practice quizzes and other reference material. With the help of Project Management Academy's resources and Mr. Giacalone as my instructor, I was able to pass my PMP exam on the 1st try in March of 2024. Thanks! read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that PMA was hosting in person classes (with all precautions being taken) so I signed up for their classes to prep for my PMP. Mike was one of the best instructors I've had and made it all very easy to understand. Bear in mind this is a 200 multiple choice questions test with A LOT of material to be covered in just four days but he did it perfectly. I already recommended a few of my colleagues to take PMA prep course to obtain their PMP certification because just two weeks after I finished this course I passed the exam. Couldn't be happier. Thank you very much! read more

I attended classes at Maitland in October 2023 and liked the instructor and course content. This gave me a great foundation for the PMP preparation phase and, PASS! I highly recommend Project Management Academy for anyone looking to earn a PMP certification! read more

I want to thank Project Management Academy for a well run PMI boot camp. I took the "October 2020 virtual class with John Dokos". John was an excellent instructor. Spent time in class to get everything right. He was able communicate after class was finished by email to help me out on items I didn't understand. John is a straight shooter and l love that John set me up the right way to continue to study and pass the PMI PMP test 58 days from start of class!!! read more

Project Management Academy - Result of my test - Adult Education Near Me

I took the PMP class and successfully passed on my first attempt. John Sanderson was my instructor. John's expertise and teaching approach greatly facilitated my learning experience. He effectively incorporates real-life examples, enhancing comprehension. I highly recommend PMA and John as an instructor. read more

I took the PMA bootcamp course and less than a month after I took and passed the PMP exam on the first try. Big shout out to my instructor John Sanderson! He really made learning the material interesting and fun. I highly recommend taking the course with John if you can. read more

I attended the classes offered in Maitland, FL July 22nd - July 23rd and July 29th - July 30th. John Sanderson has the experience, knowledge, and credentials that constitute a great instructor. His anecdotal stories were relevant and shared insight that only a seasoned professional has gained through work experience. He is very cognizant of the students attention level and offers breaks based on the classes engagement/attention level. At the same time his time management and course navigation allowed us to complete all sections a little ahead of time and offered a post-course question and answer session, review of the PMI and PMA website, as well as pointers and tips/tricks to taking the exam. This material is definitely better in an instructor lead setting. I highly recommend PMA/educate360 and Mr. Sanderson to anyone. Thank you, John! read more

I took the on line training which is required for PMP certification. The instructor Boll Holmes was awesome. Knowledgeable, kept the class interest up, was helpful and has continued his support after the training was completed. He is a big reason I was prepared to pass the exam....which I did today. read more

Very helpful content both on the site and from the instructor, John. I appreciated knowing what the exam was going to focus on and how to approach questions. The real world examples helped the content make sense and stick. read more

I attended that May 2018 class in Orlando and took the PMP exam a few weeks later. I passed on my first attempt! Although I have spent around 7 years managing projects and had taken some online courses, the 4-day course and training materials helped to bring everything together, so that I could successfully earn my certification. Our instructor John D. was great helping to teach the material and bring in real-world examples that offered excellent context to the concepts and made the exam easier. After the class was over, the tools that Project Management Academy gives you access to are incredibly helpful for passing the exam. I had tried before on my own and with online classes, and never felt I was ready, but this was definitely worth the time & money investment. read more

I chose The Project Management Academy (PMA) from a list of PMI authorized trainers that offered boot camps. I believe I chose well. The exam is daunting enough without some help from folks that understand your objectives, i.e. to pass the test by understanding what to study and how to interpret the questions. My instructor, John Sanderson, made the learning process fun and relevant. He has a great passion for project management and even more passion for helping others understand the material. He took the time to listen to our scenarios and help us understand how PMI approaches the situation while always bringing us back on topic to complete the curriculum on time (a bit of agile methodology there). Though I have not taken the PMP exam yet, at this point the content provided by PMA seems well designed and presented for maximum retention. I just wish they would have created a table of contents for the training guide. read more

I took the PMP Prep Course in November 2015, and I had a great experience. We had a excellent teacher, John Dokos. The course materials are easy to follow and course curriculum had a good flow. The class was interactive, and we had several real life scenarios to relate to from both the teacher and the class. The online content has great tools that you can use at the completion of the course to continue your test preparations. I took advantage of all of the in class learning, online tools, and practice exams. I sat for my exam in Jan 2016 and passed on my first time. This is not to say that you won't have to put some personal study time to reinforce concepts. However, this was money will spent. Many thanks to the PMA team. read more

Great prep for the PMP exam. PMA's online tools are the perfect addition to the classroom instruction for a week or two to get you successful certification. (Though tools are available for six months.) Highly recommend. They offer a referral incentive for past students and a discount to registering students as well. read more

Well worth the expense and effort. I took the training class two weekends (Aug 25, 26 & Sept 1, 2 2018). The class setup was well structured. All necessary materials were provided to us. The pace of the training was perfect keeping me engaged and focused on the materials. The instructor was very professional and knowledgeable and provided so much tips ans support to be confident with the whole course. Overall, I wouldn't have been able to completely grasp the concepts if it wasn't for this class. I highly recommend that you consider taking this course before your exam. read more

Exactly what I was looking for in a PMP boot camp. I went through their course in October 2015. I actually went in preparation for the CAPM exam, but the course content was fine for that even though most people were there for the PMP. The 4 days of instruction packed in a lot of material, but they somehow keep it from being overwhelming. The course pace is swift, but if it's going too fast, you can always ask the instructor for a deeper explanation. My instructor, Mike, was very patient and knowledgeable. The course also provide print and online materials for study prep. These add exceptional value onto the course itself. If you have a weak area within the PMBOK, they likely have some tips and recommendations on how to improve. Thanks to the great instruction and the course materials, I was able to pass the CAPM exam on my first attempt. It was by no means easy, but it was made much easier with the help of this course. read more

Attended the PMA Bootcamp in October '15. Between the online resources and the course content, delivered by Mike G, I was more than prepared to pass the PMP exam on the first try. I highly recommend to anyone planning to sit for the PMP exam or just wanting to have a better understanding of project management. read more

I researched a few different boot camp style learning programs for PMP and found Project Management Academy to be have spot on customer service and explanation in why their program should be trusted. Including the guarantee to run session which I absolutely needed as I was in need of this training in a tight time frame. The class was 4 days long and it covered end to end EVERYTHING that was needed to pass the class within the first try. I found the material engaging and the supporting documents and laminates extremely helpful to create my own study plan. My instructor, Mike Giacalone, in the Orlando based class was awesome and he definitely kept us on track and was very respectful of the sticking to the agenda but also giving us enough time on the trickier concepts. I took the PMP 2 1/2 weeks later and passed! I definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to take the certification test. They even have a guarantee that you pass if you do the very basic of things that you would expect before any exam (explained in the course). Thank you PMA and Mike!! read more

This class was definitely worth the price! This class helped me review knowledge already gained during my studies and prepare me for the test. I recommend this class to anyone who is contemplating it being worth it. read more

I took the May 2018 training class with John Dokos and he did a great job! Unfortunately, due to a business trip and the family emergency, I had to postpone my test for approximately two months after I was originally planning to take it. I was worried that I lost the retention of the coursework over time. Since I am not good adjust re-reading slides, I was not sure how I was going to start studying again. Fortunately, EVERY section taught, is also present online. I just had to sit back every night for a few hours until I was "retrained". The second time around was really great to understand the material. I passed my PMP in September. read more

I had a great experience with the Project Management Academy and just got my PMP on the first try 3 weeks after taking the class! I went to the April 2021 virtual class with John Dokos. He's an excellent instructor and very engaging (and funny) so he really helped me work through the material, especially since it's so much information. I was worried about missing work while taking the boot camp but I took the 2 week half-day sessions, and that worked out really well. I highly recommend that since there's so much material to cover and I imagine it would be hard to stay completely focused for full-day sessions. read more

Great instructor lead class by John Dokos. If you are taking the PMP exam, I strongly suggest you take this or a similar 4 day submersion class and then take the PMP exam shortly after the class. John Dokos knows his stuff and helps with where to focus your time to maximize your study hours. I attended the April 2017 class and passed my test last week. read more

Most outstanding! Great instructor---he demystified the processes and knowledge areas. Tremendous resource, full of practical examples. Mike G. was key factor in my 'first time pass', with above target scoring, for the PMP. Boot camp taken in Feb-Mar 2018. Well done! read more

I attended the "December 2016" class session for the PMP boost course in Olando, FL with great experience. The Instructor "John Dokos" was very helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable. He provides a lot of stories that helps students to memorize the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs easily. The course folder and other materials were very helpful. The PMA website content with the personal login account helps a lot in assessing the students' strengths and weakness based on the PMP knowledge base and process groups. I have passed the PMP test on the first trial because of the online material and the great instructor. read more

I took the PMP Exam Prep Course in Orlando over 2 weekends ending September 2nd. The instructor, Robert Laszio, effectively captured the key concepts and strategies while skillfully keeping the class "on-track" through all the "at my company" anecdotes that could have easily sidetracked a less experienced instructor. I also opted to take the 3-hr "5th Day" Webinar which helped clarify some of the more challenging concepts. The Project Management Academy materials were all very useful. After having my application audited twice, Lenora Holmsten was extremely responsive and helpful in suggesting a few key adjustments to my application which led to me successfully passing the application audit process. I credit Project Management Academy's tools and people with helping me pass the PMP application and exam process in about 6 weeks. I highly recommend Project Management Academy to those looking for a preparation course with proven results. read more

I took the PMP Prep Course in January 2017, and I had a great experience. The instructor, Mike Giacalone, was fantastic! The course was presented in a very professional manner and the materials were easy to follow. PMA's plan of instruction detailed the curriculum in a step-by-step approach that followed the project life cycle. The class was very interactive, and Mike had several real life scenarios to relate to from his experience as a seasoned Project Manager. Additionally, the online content tools were very helpful. The videos, the flashcards and the timed practice exams helped reinforce what Mike covered in class and aided in the absorption of knowledge. I recommend that each student take full advantage of what the website offers to further their studies. I sat for my exam in May 2017 and passed on my first time. The Prep Course, along with the website are extremely helpful, however, you have to assume responsibility for outcome by developing a study plan for after the course. Mike relayed his approach to us and that is what I used and it worked! This was money well spent. Thank you PMA and thank you Mike Giacalone! read more

I took the PMP Prep Course in June of 2016, and I had a great experience. I had a excellent teacher, Michael A. Giacalone. The way the course material was presented and how Mike made the material seem relevant to what I have been doing in the real world made the material easier to understand. There was a great deal of interaction between the class members and this brought out numerous real world examples of good and bad project management practices. I took the test twice the first time was the day after the class when I did not partake in the online tests and learning tools that Project Management Academy offers as part of the class. I retook the test two weeks later after taking 7 practice tests and using the online tools to assist me in studying and learning how the PMP exam was asking the questions and looking for the responses. I believe that the class and course material was exteremly helpful in understanding the PMP test and information was presented. I would highly recommend the course and if possible try and have Michael A. Giacalone.as an instructor, he brings over 20 years of real world Project Management experience to the classroom. This was money well spent. Many thanks to the PMA team read more

I attended the Project Management Academy PMP course in Nov 2015, but did not sit for the exam until May 2016 due to a job change and move....still, the course was great...and the instructor kept in contact with me to provide needed moral and educational support in the preparation for my exam. Somehow I think if not for this, I probably would have forgone the exam altogether. Thanks PMA for keeping on me! In addition, the Project Management Academy provided several online tools (i.e practice exams, video tutorials, Q&A sessions, etc) to further help in the exam prep. These tools were extremely valuable for refreshing my memory after several months away from the study materials. The week long course was fast paced but complete. The study tools were great. The instructor (Mr. John Dokos) was well versed, experienced, and superb in delivery of course content. I'm proud to say, that I passed my exam on the first attempt thanks to this wonderful course and a caring instructor! read more

I took the PMP course in Orlando from June 26 to June 29 2017. We had a great instructor, Robert Lazslo who was very knowledgeable and did a great job keeping the audience engaged through the 4 days in class. I initially contemplated taking the exam without a class but there is a lot a material and the tips and tricks offered in class were very helpful. I highly recommend PMA as a PMP course prep provider. read more

Took the PMP boot camp in Orlando FL in June 2017. Robert Lazlo was a great instructor and I credit much of the fact I passed the PMP exam on the first attempt to his teaching skills. Thanks PMA, great experience. read more

The Project Management Academy PMP Certification course is excellent. The course program maintains the highest levels of quality and is focused on teaching students the PMBOK subject matter as well as the "passing" the complex PMP Certification exam. The training Instructor, the collateral training material, the supplemental Video Training sessions, the live weekly reviews and their entire support staff is committed to the success of the students and is second to none. Anyone planning a PMP Certification should definitely take the Project Management Academy's 4-Day course program. You can be confident that you will pass the exam and WILL be certified. read more

In my opinion, the best Project Management course out there. The course prepared me for the PMP and I passed. The instructor Gary Lind was awesome as he shared real life experience with the PM practices in accordance to the PMBOK. read more
