Mike is an exceptional PMP instructor who brings a high level of knowledge, professionalism, and clarity to every session. From the very beginning, it was clear that he truly cares about the success of each student. He takes the time to ensure we understand not only the material but also what is genuinely required to pass the PMP exam. Mike is honest, direct, and intentional--he will tell you exactly where to focus and what you need to improve in order to be successful. One of the most valuable aspects of his teaching style is his use of real-world stories and examples. These practical scenarios helped me better understand how project management concepts translate into real workplace situations, making the content easier to remember and apply. His ability to break down complex ideas into relatable experiences made a significant difference in my confidence and comprehension. Overall, Mike is informed, engaging, and fully committed to student achievement. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for the PMP exam. read more

I took the PMP Bootcamp with Joe Snyder on 16-19 December and I can't say enough good things! Joe took his time to teach the materials in a way that we not only retained the information but we understood it. I went home excited each day and couldn't wait to go back and learn more the next day! I took my PMP exam this morning (yes just a week after the bootcamp) and I passed with a majority of my areas being scored "above target"! Joe took the time to give me a shorter plan with the key details for studying. My life revolved around studying for a couple weeks and I put in a lot of work... but I am greatful for the guidance I was given. I know without a doubt I would not have passed without Joe and PMA! I took an online (not virtual) bootcamp earlier this year and I did not retain any of the information. You get what you pay for. If you are looking for a bootcamp to truly prepare you for the exam and your career, this is it! read more

I took the PMP Bootcamp Class in March 2019. Let me start out by saying there may be one misconception for people about this bootcamp -- this isn't a class to teach you how to be a project manager, this is a class to teach you how to prepare for the PMP exam! With that being said, this class was great. Despite the nature of the material, the instructor kept you engaged and made sure to explain things [and repeat things over and over] in a way that you remember it! The PMP exam is a hard test to feel prepared for, but this bootcamp got me as close as prepared as I could be! The materials that come along with signing up for the bootcamp class are also incredibly helpful with studying. I can't tell you how many Q&A sessions I did just to improve my knowledge on certain areas. This class is very high intensive, but needed for this exam. Thanks to this class and the great instructor I had, I can say I passed the PMP! read more

Joe is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time with each of the students to point out important material and make sure they are grasping it. He's willing to stay late or work through breaks as required to make sure you are prepared or help you better understand areas you're struggling in. He tailored my "assignments" every night knowing that my test was one week from the start date of the course and I passed! It's very obvious how much he cares about his students and their success. Highly recommend this class to anyone who is seeking their PMP certification, I genuinely don't think that I would have seen a pass without them (at least not on the first attempt). read more

I passed the PMP exam on the first try, thanks to excellent test prep with Francis Mies for my in-person training and then all the supplemental test prep materials available through Project Management Academy. Francis made sure what to focus on and offered many helpful suggestions that I could easily recall during the exam. My word of advice to others is use ALL of the resources PMA offers. I bought flashcards online from a different testing organization and the flashcards were not helpful as they didn't list all the ITTOs that PMA indicated were necessary to know. (And PMA was correct.) Thank you Francis for helping me pass on my first attempt! read more

I recently attended the PMP boot camp instructed by Karl Cheney in Richmond, VA. Karl is a very motivating instructor and extremely helpful in illustrating the PMBOK principles using examples that continue to build through the entire course. This is the first training course that I never 'dosed off' or became distracted. That can be attributed to Karl's method of teaching and his extreme enthusiasm for Project Management. Course material, study plans, brain dump info along with a bit of motivation provides the tools needed to be successful in getting the PMP certification. read more

The PMP Boot Camp course provided by the Project Management Academy takes an extraordinary amount of information and lays it out in a methodical and systematic way that gives you the upper hand over most test takers. The instructor, Mike Strachan, did a great job connecting with the class and delivering the material. He was able to connect with everyone by providing examples and scenarios that everyone could relate to. If you are interested in becoming a better PM or boosting your career, this is definitely the first step in the right direction. read more

The four day course, instructed by Francis Miles, was comprehensive and provided the materials necessary to focus on key points needed to help pass the PMP Exam.

Just finished the PMP Bootcamp taught by Karl Cheney, wow, Karl was simply amazing, I hope one day I find what I was meant to do like Karl has, super gifted instructor who knows his content backwards and forward. I will encourage my peers to take the PMA course but I will also tell them to see what they can do to get into Karl's class. I have no doubt between the PMA tools and Karl's content delivery that I will be successful in obtaining my PMP. read more

Overall I'm really glad that I took the class and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get their PMP. read more

I took the class in June this year and was very impressed with the teaching style and course content. The instructor was great at teaching and keeping the students engaged at the same time (Mr. Joe Snyder). It is a rigorous and challenging program, but the class sizes are small and the staff really help you to be successful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take the PMP exam. It's worth it, trust me. read more
