You're in good company
Michael Hatley, VerizonMy instructor was VERY knowledgeable of the material. He also had a tremendous amount of real-life experience and great stories. He was a great teacher and gave great direction concerning the life of a PMP and how to approach the test.
Corporal Joseph Amley, OSIS GovThe course was phenomenal. I'm entry-level in terms of PMP, however, the course really opened up my viewpoints and allowed me to see the form and function that is needed in order to complete tasks and run projects.
Annmarie Boyle, Booz Allen HamiltonThe instructor was extremely knowledgeable, even knowing the PMBOK page numbers off the top of his head! He not only explained topics and answered questions very well but was also engaging and made the days pass quickly.
