Get Pricing & ScheduleNow that my career has progressed, Training Camp was the logical choice for the PMP certification boot camp. The material was expertly presented and I am confident I will be successful in attaining that certification.
I love the Training Camp format which handles all of the logistics of the training and allowing the student to focus on the course material and certification test! Training Camp helped me to be successful, THE FIRST TIME, for both my PMP and CISSP.
The intent of the training was to help us pass the exam, and make us familiar with the material and types of questions. The instructor did a good job of getting us ready for the exam. I passed the exam!
I left the class with a new-found confidence.
I believe self-study would have been much much harder to comprehend the information and pass the test on a first try. My colleagues who self-studied flunked the first time they took it. I passed the first time after attending the boot camp.
