This Pearson Vue testing center deserves special mention for three reasons…read more One, it has working computers. Real, brand name computers. Not the machines assembled in someone's garage from rejected parts like you see at most testing centers, but an honest to god Dell Optiplex Gx620 with *a dual core processor and a flat panel monitor.* I almost fell over when I saw what I would be testing on. Two, it has working chairs. No broken, squeaky, armless chairs, but comfy ones that recline and aren't stained. Three, it has lots of UIUC propaganda. To get from the lobby of the office building to the testing center, you have to walk down a hallway lined with photos of the Alma Mater, Foellinger Auditorium, Altgeld Hall, and, most importantly, a photo of the Dee Brown/Deron Williams era Fighting Illini playing (and beating) Michigan at home, during a Paint the Hall Orange night. It's even complete with Bruce Weber screaming from the sidelines. I don't always have the highest opinion of Illinois as an educational institution...but I definitely had to stop and stare at the photo, and it managed to pump me up for the exam a little. So when you need to take an exam only Pearson offers (and it seems like VMware is the only one that falls in to that category) what better way to do it than with a little extra Oskee Wow Wow.

I attended the November 2025 PMP prep class with John D through Project Management Academy, and I'm…read morehappy to share that I passed my PMP exam in January! This program was absolutely worth it. The structure of the course made a huge difference in how I approached studying, and John D did an excellent job breaking down complex concepts in a way that actually stuck. The biggest value for me was the practice exams and informal quizzes. They were key in helping me recognize patterns, build confidence, and feel fully prepared going into the exam. By the time test day came around, I felt ready. I also really appreciated the cohort experience. Being part of a group that was equally committed and supportive made the process more motivating and a lot less overwhelming. Highly recommend Project Management Academy--and especially John D--if you're serious about passing your PMP. -- Dawn G.

I love when they have board game day! I've also been on a "field trip" with them to visit the You Are Beautiful studio. They've got a ton of stuff going on, and a mostly-comfortable, if industrial atmosphere to hang out. I'm looking forward to visiting when the nice weather returns to check out their new deck and backyard area. Glad they have open events for the public so I can enjoy an interesting time with them without paying membership fees for stuff I wont use. Their "stuff" is pretty cool though! Definitely impressive woodworking area, 3D Printer, I think they mentioned an embroidery machine and vinyl cutting machine, as well as a plethora of tools I personally wouldn't know the names of. Most importantly the members there seem very friendly and welcoming and down to earth. So I'll keep coming back.
