Project Management Academy provided me 4-day boot camp (July, 2018) which instructed by Michael A. Giacalone, helping us to pass PMP exam within 35 days at first time. Michael is very patient to solve our question and cover all materials within 4 days. Moreover, he shares his past real PM experience with us and make this class more "practical" and assist us to combine work experience with theory. I have learned a lot of knowledge as well as tip in this intensive/productive class. What I also love Project Management Academy is their material (both printed and online), which is very organized and highlight all the key points we shall pay attention on it. You can watch all tutorial video on their portal site and remind any course you want to cover. Their timed mock exam (easy) and in-course exam (difficult) help you identify your weakness which requires your further study. The tuition is pretty much the same as other on-site institution ($1.6K~$1.8K), but cheaper than course that UM offers. I highly recommend to take their on-site course, rather than other provider which provide video for you to learn by yourself. read more

I recently completed the PMP prep course in November 2025 with Hans V. Meijer, and I can't say enough about what an excellent instructor he is. Hans made a mountain of complex material not only understandable but genuinely interesting. He has an impressive background and brings real-world context and practical examples to every topic, which made the concepts stick. He managed to cover an enormous amount of information while still keeping the class engaging and interactive. Hans also shared valuable tips and strategies for success that went beyond the slides -- the kind of insight that only comes from deep experience. What stood out most was his dedication to his students. He took extra time after class to answer additional questions I had and even reviewed my PMP application to make sure it met all requirements. That kind of personal commitment makes all the difference. If you're taking a Project Management Academy course and have the opportunity to learn from Hans Meijer, you're in excellent hands. read more

I attended the March 2016 PMP exam prep course with John Dokos in the Ft Lauderdale, FL area. I passed the exam on the first try in May 2016. The exam preparation material was outstanding! The binder material PMA provided outlined the key points from the PMBOK guide perfectly, key points I know I would have missed if I just tried the study the PMBOX guide by myself. The additional quick reference guides and handouts given were most useful in keeping the material fresh until I took the exam. The online tools such as the flash cards, Q & A and a must if you want to feel confident walking into the exam with no doubts you are ready...the online TIMED practice exams. Along with the additional tips and explanations John gave in class that was very helpful and I was able to remember some of the diagrams and memory tricks he wrote out in class. The experience was great and I was excited to take the exam and I was able to pass the exam with confidence. Thanks James T, PMP read more

I took the PMP boot camp with Project Management Academy in Orlando this pas July. It was EXCELLENT! From the first hour of class to the last, the instructor was engaging and personal. He dispensed a plethora of information in manageable and comprehensible packets while conveying it in a practical format that maximized my ability to absorb it. His knowledge of the material was in depth and punctuated by the excellent tips he wrapped in real world examples and experiences. I was equally impressed with the binder of information and course materials provided as well as the study aids and on-line portal. The venue, food and environment were great as well. They set you up for success to pass the PMP and nothing less. This boot camp was a professional life change thrust forward and I am looking forward to where it takes me. read more

I once again attended a PMA boot camp early in September 2019, this time for the PMI-ACP certification. I was so pleased with my previous experience with PMP certification course that I looked no further than PMA. If it's not broken, don't fix it.. And I was please again!. This time, instead of a classroom setting, I attended a virtual class which was instructed by Joe Snyder. Joe was very pleasant and knowledgeable, and made this as close to a classroom setting as possible. This course was very helpful for my preparation for the ACP exam, which I passed on my first attempt. PMA's site was also helpful with tutorials and relevant information to download. I recommend both PMA and Joe! Thank you both. I will continue to use PMA for future educational needs where applicable. read more

I have been in Project Management roles for over 15 years, and took my Masters in PM a long time ago as well, but never sat for the PMI certification. My company is now requiring certification and I new the best way for me to get ready was to take a boot camp focused on review and how to pass. PMA delivered!!! I attended the February 2018 in class session with John D as our instructor and was extremely pleased. John provided real examples and answered questions on point. PMA materials are spot on - exactly what you need: no more, no less. The strategy guide, summary prep sheets and online test portal is key to success. I passed my test above target on the first try! I couldn't have done it without PMA!! Thank you!. read more

I took the "May 2018" class session and the instructor "John Dokos" was great. He answered all questions and took the time to relate al concepts to his experiences which made it easier to understand and remember the material. As far as PMA goes, they do a great job in summarizing the PMBOK so you can go through all the material quicker than reading the whole book. The recorded videos are also a great tool to study on the go. The PMA course is worth the investment :) I passed the exam on the first try. I also loved the tutoring access the PMA provided, whenever I had a questions they responded fast and with a clear answer. read more

I cannot express enough how paramount taking the PMA class was in my passing the PMP exam! I took the class in July 2017. The materials were laid out in an order that really helped me to process the PMBOK guide. The class structure and my instructor, John D., were phenomenal. The ability to learn with an instructor and along side other participants, being able to ask questions and hear others' questions and the answers to those questions, was extremely helpful to me. After the class I used the online PMA study tools which were also extremely helpful! I passed on the first attempt! Thank you Jonh D. And PMA!!! read more

I took the PMP Test prep course in Ft. Lauderdale on March 17-20, 2014 and have to say that it is very thorough and detailed. The materials provided in class and online are very helpful. The course instructor Asad Haque was very knowledgeable, competent and accessible. Although I have experience taking certification tests, since I am a Licensed Professional Engineer, I found the PMP test to be a very difficult test. This past Saturday I passed the test and in addition to the intensive studying, the Project Management Academy PMP Test course was a key element in accomplishing the certification. read more

If you are looking to pass your PMP exam and get your PMP Certification, this is the place for you. I attended the 4 day PMP exam preparation course in July of 2016. The instructor John D was very knowledgeable and the material that the class covered was exceptional. This class focuses on reviewing the entire PMBOK in 3 days. The last day is reserved for a 200 question 4 hour mock exam that is just the icing on the cake. The class is intense as they have a lot of material to cover and also you get 35 PDU's as well. I highly recommend taking this course. FYI, I passed on first try and got my PMP! read more

I passed the PMP exam on my first try with a score well into the "Above Target" area. This same result was reflected in 4 of the 5 "domains". I credit the PMP Boot Camp course content and the sterling instructional prowess of the seminar leader John Dokos. The entire test experience was a nearly perfect match to the preparation the course provided. I have to say that of all the courses and preparatory programs I have attended, the Project Management Academy PMP Boot Camp course was by far the most "on the nose". I look forward to availing myself of more Academy offerings in the very near future. read more

Took the course in September 2017. PMA provides very good study material and practice exams. Our mentor Mr.John Dokos was a seasoned Project Management Professional and he was able to explain all the PMBOK terminologies by relating to real world scenarios which helped everyone to understand the PMP processes very well. PMA provides great video tutorials as well which is a big help to go back and review specific PMBOK sections. I tooks the exam 2 weeks after completing the class and passed with "Above Target" ratings. Definitely helpful and strongly recommended if you want to get PMP certified. read more

A very thorough class led by Hans Meijer to guide us through the obstacles, blockers, and impediments of the PMP Certification. Hans was well spoken and vastly knowledgeable, as well as engaging. It is a lot of information to absorb, yet, with his direction and PMI's & PMA's resources, I feel like it is an achievable goal. I look forward to the day when the badge is after my name, and will carry it proudly, knowing the class and teacher support was a big part of the who, the how, the why, the where, and the when.... Thank you, Hans and PMA for a comprehensive and effective program. read more

Attended the March 2016 course in Ft Lauderdale, with John D as my instructor. Utilizing the excellent instruction, PMA's method of presenting the material, the helpful aids and sample exams, I was able to take and pass the PMP exam one week after the end of the class. John's instruction included real life examples which help to understand the material, and the interactive nature of the class insured that the concepts were fully understood before moving on. If you are considering a PMP prep course, I would strongly recommend this PMP Bootcamp by PMA. read more

I took the PMP (Project Management Professional) course with Hans Meijer in June 2025. I highly recommend the course! Hans was great at taking the time to answer questions and make sure we understood what was being taught. He provided many insights on taking the exam, calling out areas of study that he suspects will be on the test. He also provided us with additional material to help us understand what we were learning, so we can do well on the test. His help and patience were truly appreciated! I feel very prepared to take the certification exam read more

I attended the September 2016 class session, and I have to say, it was one of the best classroom experiences I've had in preparation for the PMP exam. First of all, the instructor - John D. - did an amazing job explaining the course in a methodical, organized and easy to understand fashion. Additionally, the online and in-class material provided by PMA is second to none, as a result I passed the PMP exam a few weeks later in my first attempt. Finally, I highly recommend PMA and John D. to all future PMP seekers. Keep up the good work!!! read more

Go to the bootcamp, follow their instructions, use the study and prep material and you are guaranteed to pass! read more

I took the Project Management Academy PMP Boot Camp course in Dania in Feb 2018 in Dania Beach with instructor John D. I found the course to be highly informative and the provided materials were instrumental in my passing the PMP certification exam a month later.

Would recommend this course and instructor to anyone considering a PMP exam prep service. read more

I attended the pmp boot camp class on February 2018. 4 intensive days, however, the training paid off. John D. was a great instructor, helped me understand better the material content.
