I cannot recommend Hans Meijer highly enough! I completed his virtual Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam Prep course today, August 6, 2026, through Educate 360 (Project Management Academy), and it exceeded my expectations. Hans has a remarkable ability to take complex project management concepts and explain them in a clear, practical, and easy-to-understand way. Rather than simply teaching the material to pass the PMP exam, he helps you understand the "why" behind the concepts and how they apply in real-world situations. His depth of knowledge, real-life examples, and engaging teaching style kept the class interesting from start to finish. What impressed me most was his patience and genuine commitment to every student's success. He encouraged questions, made sure no one was left behind, and created an environment where everyone felt comfortable participating. Even in a virtual setting, he kept the class highly interactive and engaging. Hans is clearly passionate about project management and about helping others achieve their PMP certification. His professionalism, enthusiasm, sense of humor, and ability to connect with students make him an exceptional instructor. If you're considering a PMP prep course, I wholeheartedly recommend taking one taught by Hans Meijer. You'll leave not only better prepared for the exam but also a stronger project management professional. Thank you, Hans, for your outstanding instruction and for making what could have been an overwhelming experience both enjoyable and incredibly valuable. Your wealth of knowledge alone was impressive. You have earned every one of your five stars! read more

Project Management Academy is a must and well worth your investment if you want to pass the PMP on the first try AND if you have a compressed time schedule. I was scheduled to take the in-person class in JAX, FL. But early Sept 2017, Hurricane Irma changed that plan. I wound up taking the online webinar version with Scott Fass. His class was thorough. He told me I only needed 3 weeks to study after the practice test. I studied for 3 weeks intensely and passed the PMP exam on the first try with an "Above Target" score. I was also carrying a full-time graduate school course load plus work simultaneously. PMA allowed me to focus and learn the material efficiently and effectively. My investment with PMA was well worth my investment and will be well worth yours too. My graduate school buddy who went a different study route didn't pass. Don't make the wrong choice! Choose PMA for PMP exam preparations! read more

My Project Management Academy (PMA) experience was outstanding and resulted in me passing the PMP exam the first time. Early March I took the 4-day PMP Boot Camp which was taught by a phenomenal instructor, John D. John taught my class with professionalism, incorporated real-life experiences / examples, and was able to break-down the PMBOK into understandable and relatable pieces. After completing the class, I took a couple weeks to utilize the PMA's website and on-line material. Most helpful was the Study Plan, additional Course Outline material, and practice exams. By the end of March I took the exam and passed; I was well prepared. PMA has a great program and I will recommend it to anyone interested in obtaining their PMP Certification. Well done PMA; thank you! read more

I attended a preparation workshop conducted by Bill Holmes back in January of 2024. This workshop provided a solid foundation of understanding regarding the Agile principles and methodology covered in the PMI-ACP certification exam. I took the exam in February just a few weeks after having attended Bill's workshop and had no problem passing the exam. Perhaps more importantly though, Bill went above and beyond simply preparing our team for the exam. He challenged us to look at our existing Agile business processes and to evaluate these against the Agile practices we were learning. Our whole team benefitted from the workshop and we really appreciate the expertise that Bill has to share and his willingness & enthusiasm to share. read more

I had Bill Holmes as an instructor for the PMP class over in Jacksonville and he was GREAT!! Super knowledgeable guy with a very bubbly personality so I learned a lot and didn't ever get tired and want to fall asleep during any class. He taught us A LOT in a short period of time and made it fun with real world examples of how the Material applies to our different industries, which made it easier to remember!! I still text Bill from time to time to ask his point of view on different certs and even after his responsibilities to me have been fulfilled, he still responds with good insights or points me to resources to make my own opinion of things. 5 out 5 stars!! Wish more trainings were done the same way Bill does them!! read more

I just passed my PMP test Above Target, thanks to the great boot camp training course I had with Michael Giacalone and the detailed online and physical material received during the course. The practice exams really help in preparing you for the real deal, I'm happy with the results and the investment of time and money was well worth it, thanks again to the team at Project Management Academy. The course was in the St. John's Town Center which was really central and easy to find, I took the boot camp in late Jan/2019, having never seen the PMBOK before taking it and took the test the first week of May/2019. I will definitely be looking forward to see more preparation courses by PMA. read more

As a licensed Professional Engineer, I envisioned sailing through the boot camp course as well as the exam. Reality hit within the first few hours of the first day when I realized the volume of content to absorb! PMA's instructor, John Dokos, put me at ease by presenting the course material in a fashion which allowed good note taking as well as good study guidance. He would often provide analogies of the course curriculum to his various workplace assignments which helped to allow me to grasp an understanding with ease. I encourage any candidate to pursue their PMP via the PMA Bootcamp as a solo undertaking will likely prove to be a disaster! read more

I recently went to the class in March 2018, Jacksonville, FL led by instructor John Dokos. I was not sure what to expect as this was my first experience in this type of training. The training was very well developed in manageable learning blocks which provided a solid foundation to take the PMP exam. I will have to say there is more studying required to fully grasp all of the material, but I accomplished passing the test the first attempt and did it one week after the class!! Kudos to John for the great instruction! Would highly recommend to anyone taking the PMP test, well worth it. read more

I just completed a 4-day Project Management Academy bootcamp in February 2026 in Jacksonville with instructor Raquel Horta. Raquel was excellent, deeply knowledgeable about the PMP and able to guide us through the material with patience and grace. The course covered a lot of information in a short time (I chose an intensive pace), which felt overwhelming at times, but it gave a very solid overview and clear direction on what's needed to pass the PMP exam. Highly recommend for anyone preparing for the certification. read more

I had the pleasure of preparing for the PMP Exam with the help and influence of William (Bill) Holmes. The way Bill covered the course material using real world examples completely allow me to capture key concepts. For anyone thinking about preparing for the PMP exam, I highly recommend the Project Management Academy course and I genuinely hope Bill Holmes is the instructor. Thank you Bill and the Project Management Academy for ensuring my successful passing of the PMP exam! read more

I attended the March 2018 PMA training in Jacksonville FL with instructor John D. The class was the key to my passing the exam. PMA's instruction manual and tools are really well done. With the help of PMA, I was able to pass the exam with an "Above Target" score on my first try. If you are considering taking the PMP exam, the Project Management Academy training should be your first and only resource. read more

I attended the March 2017 PMP Boot Camp in Jacksonville, Fl with Mr.J Dokos as instructor. The experience was wonderful from day 1 to 4. I was little nervous thinking about how I'm going to process all this information but with all tools and supporting material provide by him and PMA. I was able to pass the exam PMP Test. Thanks, PMA read more

I took the online 4 day PMP boot camp in December 2017 with Gary Raubenheimer and it was excellent! Gary was great and there is SO much information passed on. You will definitely have to put in the work but with their help you will be PMP certified in no time!! read more

Great experience with Bill Holmes. I obtained my PMP thanks to his class. Concepts were deconstructed well and presented in an easy to consume manner. Additionally, Bill was able to weave his personal stories into the mix to help the concepts stick. read more
