I had a wonderful experience taking a PMA course with Gregg Richie, and I passed the PMP Exam on the first try! Gregg was an excellent instructor, making the challenging content and long classes entertaining, fluid, and educational.

The PMP Exam is the most challenging exam I've ever taken, and I am grateful to Gregg for helping me get through the course and study content so I could pass on my 1st try. Thank you, Gregg! read more

I had the pleasure of taking the PMA PMP bootcamp on May 22nd-25th with a great instructor Gregg Richie. It was a incresible experience, while fast paced and a lot of content to cover, Our instructor gave plenty of breaks and humor to keep us energized to dive deeper in project management. Gregg encouraged us as a class to take time to network and get to know one another and we did. We had lunch with each other and after the class cheered each other on. Today June 20th less than 4 weeks later I passed my PMP Exam. Thanks Gregg and the Bootcamp Class for all the support. Highly recommended! read more

Gregg was an excellent instructor. He is a masterful teacher, full of textbook knowledge and real-world examples, and an inspiring person. I took a bootcamp with him and, though it was a marathon of 10 hour sessions, Gregg turned it into a good time. He was able to engage all of the students to participate. I was able to ask any questions I had and felt comfortable in the sessions. Most importantly, I passed my exam with flying colors using the guide I was given. Could not recommend PMA and Gregg more. read more

I took PMA's in-person PMP prep course in May 2023 in Kirkland. Gregg was an outstanding instructor and helped me get into the right mindset for studying and taking the exam to pass on the first try. This was by far the best option to satisfy the 35-hour education requirement AND gain extremely useful knowledge/advice for completing the certification through PMI. The course started on a Monday and finished on a Thursday and included a ton of additional resources online. I passed my exam on my first attempt 4 weeks after completing the course. read more

I took the 4-Day class this past March. I didn't know what to expect but once in the class, I realized the test was going to be much more difficult than I thought, and I was glad I signed up for the class instead of trying to prepare for the test on my own. The class was very well planned, the schedule is a bit tight, in fact I think 5-days would be better, but my instructor covered everything and did a really good job at drilling certain important concepts into our head. I hadn't taken a test in almost 20 years and at times I felt overwhelmed with so much information. At the end of the class they have you do a mock test and I was super disappointed when my score was 2 points below the average. But my instructor was encouraging and I followed their post-class advice, made really good use of their materials, took several of their webinars, and 6 or 7 of their online mock tests which are probably the second most valuable thing you get after the class itself. I did use other online materials I found to prepare for the test but 90% of it was from the Project Management Academy, and I was able to pass the test in my first attempt, 3 months after the class. In summary I recommend PMA specially if you don't have a very clear path on how to prepare and apply for the test (both very tricky), and if the cost is not an issue. read more

I took the 4 day on-site bootcamp at Kirkland location during the last week of Jan 2023, and I took the test today 3/14/2023 and passed on my first attempt. I am so glad I chose PMA because their materials and quality of the lectures were solid, and I did feel like I learned something every day during the bootcamp. I had Gregg Richie as the instructor, and I was so impressed with his knowledge and lectures styles. It was super informative, and he made it interesting enough and I was able to fully engage in class. I am 100% satisfied with the bootcamp, and Gregg also inspired me in a way that the way I think about project management before and after the course is different. I thought it was just a job, but now I view this profession with more respect and almost like a calling as I realized not everyone can do this. I hope to stay in touch with him as my PMP mentor! Definitely recommending PMA to all my PM co-works and friends if they are thinking of getting PMP. I already talked to people about PMA who reached out me. I do not think I could've done this on my own. PMA bootcamp course gives you everything you need to be prepared!!! read more

This was a fantastic In-person PMP Prep Course taught by Gregg Richie at Kirkland that I attended in May 2023. I got my Project Management Professional Certification within a month in June 2023 due to the great learnings from Gregg Richie, our instructor who taught for four days in a fun and engaging. The online materials available were also fantastic like mock exams, quizzes, study sheets which ensure that students pass in first attempt. I highly recommend PMA course and instructor Gregg Richie! read more

The in-person bootcamp was instrumental in my passing the PMP certification exam the first time. I attended the 4-day course the week of 22 May 2023 and passed the exam 12 June 2023. I was under the gun with a nearly impossible deadline (I would have liked an additional week of study time but had no choice), and Gregg got me through it! His mastery of the material AND ability to teach it were terrific. In addition, he brought real world experience to the concepts. Greg made the intensive course enjoyable and a bonding experience for the students. Shout out to the home office-- The PMA course materials and online tools were excellent. Loved the laminated handouts, which highlighted important concepts and processes for both predictive and agile. Practice tests were more difficult than the real thing! Live office hours solidified what I learned in bootcamp. read more

I took this course in March 2020 with Gregg. Just sat for my exam this month and passed on my first try. Gregg is very knowledgeable in all things PM and as a natural teacher, he was able to explain in great detail on how to pass the PMP using the PMBOK Guide. When you're in the class, some items become repetitive and into day 2 or 3, you just think: "well yeah, that's obvious" While sitting for my exam, all things that were "obvious" flew out the door. The only thing that helped me stay on track was remembering how Gregg was teaching the class and grilling the "obvious" into our brain. He inadvertently (or likely intentionally) was shifting the way I was thinking of how to approach the exam, without explicitly saying so. I don't think I would have passed without taking this course with Gregg. He has a lot of knowledge when it comes to PMP but he also has the ability to teach you tactics and methodologies to not only pass the PMP, but to improve your PM career. read more

I took the PMA bootcamp course this past NOV of 2023 and had the pleasure of having Mr. Gregg Richie as my instructor. Gregg is a highly knowledgeable instructor who is obviously passionate about the subject matter and his students success. The course covers a ton of content and is an excellent resource for those wanting to pass the PMP exam or simply grow their PM knowledge base. After following the plan outlined in the course, I successfully passed the PMP exam 4 weeks after. Would highly recommend to others looking to do the same. read more

I took the PMP boot camp in July 2021. Gregg is a wonderful, knowledgeable instructor with years of experience and a plethora of stories to keep the class engaged. 100% would take his class again (actually, I did...hah) or any other class he taught. I felt well prepared and passed my PMP on the first try! read more

I had the pleasure of being part of the in-person 4-day PMP Exam Prep course in February of 2022. I am very happy with the experience that I had overall! Gregg Richie was the instructor for my class. He did a fantastic job! He made the content very understandable and accessible. Every question that I had was answered thoroughly and really set me up for success. Learning from Gregg was a great experience. The materials provided were also very helpful. I wasn't able to take the actual exam until a few months after I had taken the class by revisiting the materials and notes I had taken during the class I still felt very prepared for the test. Overall, if you are looking to further your project management career I wholeheartedly recommend taking this course! read more

I found this bootcamp to be extremely beneficial while I was prepping for the PMP exam. I just passed the test "Above Target" in early Feburary 2019! I took the course in early November 2018. Gregg Richie was our instructor, and he did a fantastic job. He covered every bit of material that you should know for the exam, what to do after the course was over, and about the Prometrics testing facility where the PMP is administered. He answered questions very clearly. Even after class he was willing to answer questions and provide guidance. If you are someone who learns well in a classroom environment, I really think this bootcamp is worth the money. Especially because you get access to all the materials while you're studying e.g. practice exams, Q&A, games/exercises, etc. Good luck! read more

I participated in the Webinar version of the PMP training (Covid-19 driven) offered by this firm in April of 2020. The class instructor, Russ Thornley is a pretty engaging speaker who successfully wove his extremely eclectic project experience into the presentation and instruction. I highly recommend the class and especially this instructor. Here is his Linkedin info: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-thornley-i2i/ read more

This course was extremely helpful! I took it in February of 2022. PMP does a great job of structuring and scaffolding the course for students to easily learn and absorb the content in a week's time. My instructor, Gregg Richie, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was more than willing to answer any and all of our questions throughout the week of the course and afterwards. With his support and PMP academy's online resources, I passed my test on the first try! Thank you PMP and Gregg for all of your help; I could not have done it without you! read more

Project Management Academy (PMA) was recommended by PMI for PMP boot camp training so I was confident it was the right choice of provider. PMA's course outline, materials, and instructor went over and beyond my expectations. I learned that PMA has "exclusive" training content and materials that are reviewed at the start of the 4-day session. This set a valuable foundation at the start of the learning process. I attended the December 6-9, 2021 PMP boot camp with instructor Gregg Richie. Gregg has taught the boot camp almost 300 times and was a wealth of knowledge and experience that was very engaging. I highly recommend taking one of Gregg's boot camps. read more

In September 2021 my company enrolled me and several colleagues in Project Management Academy's course to prepare for the PMI PMP exam. We took the course, virtually, with Gregg Richie as our instructor. He guided us thru a lot of material and at times I thought it was overkill. I procrastinated for over a year before making a hard stop decision to 'burn the midnight and morning oil' to study for the exam. As I set for the exam on April 20, 2023, I quickly realized that all that material and study has its place and is well worth the digestion. I passed the exam at 12:07pm, 4/20/2023. I will never forget Project Management Academy and Gregg Richie. read more

I attended my boot camp back in Dec 2019, and couldn't thank enough both PMA and Gregg (my instructor) for being instrumental in passing the PMP Exam "Above Target" in my first attempt which otherwise wouldn't be possible. The camp is well organized, instructor covered everything with examples and drilled the concepts into our minds with great detail. In addition, PMA website provides high quality course content, videos, Q&As, flash cards etc. which helped a ton, especially the practice exams which made a huge difference for me. It is one stop shop place for all the questions regarding exam, course, practice tests and any help needed to fill the application. COVID threw my scheduled plan little off date due to test center closure, but I glad I was able to plan, got the support from such wonderful people and feel totally worth it. I highly recommend PMP aspirants to consider PMA, as this investment is worth every cent. read more

I attended PMA's 4 day PMP course in June of 2019 and was very pleased with the results. The course covers all areas of the PMBOK and the material is high quality. I was fortunate enough to have Gregg as my instructor and his approach to studying was instrumental in passing the PMP exam on the first attempt. I'd highly recommend PMA to anyone seeking a bootcamp on the subject. read more

I definitely recommend the Project Management Academy for anyone looking to acquire their PMP credential. I took this course in mid-November 2017, studied the class-provided materials and utilized the additional online support tools for the next 4 weeks. Doing this allowed me to pass the PMP exam the first time. The 4-day classroom course taught by Roxanne was enjoyable as she was able to keep your attention throughout the review of the dry that is PMI, while relating it to real world scenarios. I would highly recommend the Project Management Academy as a boot camp course for PMP. read more

I attended the 4-day in person workshop for PMP certification training in October 2021. I chose this option over the virtual/online options to best suit my learning style. Gregg Richie was the instructor. Gregg was great in the sessions. His teaching style made it really easy to follow the material, he gave examples that helped me retain the material, and helped me set a realistic study plan. The Project Management Academy materials were great in aiding in my preparation after the course. There are a ton of resources available to you on the PMA website to include flash cards, additional training videos, practice exam, etc. I took the PMP exam in December 2021 scoring Above Target in all areas. I highly recommend this company and course. read more

In the spring of 2016 I attended a very intensive and very effective PMP immersive training course. Our instructor was Gregg D. Richie. I'm not sure if all of the staff at PMA are this awesome, but Gregg literally wrote the book on this topic and helps professionals obtain the PMP like you and I put pants on every morning (his prior Navy experience not withstanding lol). Prior to attending I had done some research and I was super intimidated by the idea of the PMP cert process, but Gregg broke down all the parts and helped us all to understand how they interact with each other, how to apply this to our jobs as project and program managers, and how to speak the language of the PMP test to translate what we already knew about project management into relevant PMI terms for the PMP. After the course I applied the material, the study suggestions, practice tests, applied the testing strategies covered in the class, and I am now PMP certified. Don't waste your time or money anywhere else. Obtaining your PMP is not easy, its not for everyone. If you are serious about obtaining this important certification, this is the place and these are people you want in your corner. read more

I passed my PMP exam on the first try because of the Project Management Academy and Gregg D. Richie! I can't thank the PMA and Gregg enough for giving me the tools and techniques I needed to pass my exam. I went to the PMP Bootcamp back in February. The best way I can describe the Bootcamp is a week-long crash course in project management. I highly recommend PMA's Bootcamp and Gregg. Gregg was a fantastic instructor. He made the material easy to digest and remember. And if anyone has seen the PMBOK before, they would know that it is not a walk in the park! He gave us tips on how to remember concepts that I used throughout the exam. Gregg when above and beyond to encourage and support us. He walked us through everything step by step despite the short timeframe and answered all of our questions. Gregg also made learning fun. His sense of humor helped us push through hard times, challenges, and mental blockers. Now, let's talk about the PMA! When you sign up for their PMP Bootcamp, you get access to their materials. There are videos of the material, a ton of questions, and other vital written materials. Some of the video materials are recording of the information covered in the class with a short quiz afterward. That is extremely helpful because it shows you exactly where you need to put more time and effort into studying. Their complete exams are 4 hours long, with 200 questions. After taking a mock exam, there is a detailed breakdown of your results in the group and knowledge area. That can help you customize the learning even further. After telling you about my experience in the class and with the platform, here is my advice. Trust the process! The PMA and the instructors will give you all the tools, techniques, tips, and assumptions you will need to pass the exam. You do not need to look any further. Put in the work, watch the videos, review the PPT slides and their printed materials, answer questions, and take the mock exams. That is what it takes to pass the exam. Good luck to everyone! read more

I recently took PMA's PMP Boot Camp class in Kirkland, as was recommended to me by a colleague who'd had a great experience with PMA and passed the exam on the first try. Our instructor, Gregg D. Richie, was extremely knowledgeable about the material, and even more importantly, he was engaging and kept the class motivated during a long week of intense study. The materials you get from the PMA class, along with the website, proved to be just as valuable as the class itself! I spent a lot of time with those tools and the class binder, and passed the exam on the first try. I wholeheartedly recommend PMA's PMP Boot Camp and am thankful for Gregg's knowledge and expertise throughout the course. read more

I highly recommend the Project Management Academy for anyone studying for the PMP. I took this course the first week of June 2017 and then took the PMP exam 4 weeks later and passed! I did continue to study on my own in those 4 weeks. This 4 day course and the resources that come along with it were very helpful in comprehending (not just memorizing) the material. Roxanne is also an awesome instructor who actually made the very dry text engaging and applicable to the real world through examples and discussions. read more

I attended a PMA training class in mid-June 2017 to prepare for the PMP exam. I took the exam three weeks later and passed it on my first attempt. I could not have done this without the training class and all of the resources offered through PMA. Our instructor was Gregg D. Richie and he was phenomenal. His knowledge of the material and how he delivered it, made it easy to consume the content. The pace, structure, and material was better than I had expected. Given my recent experience I plan to take additional courses from PMA and hope to get additional certifications in other areas. read more

In October 2016 I took the PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp with Gregg Richie. Can't say enough great things about Gregg as an instructor or the course material. The class does a great job preparing you for the exam and providing an overall view of what PMI considers the ideal way to perform Project Management skills. Completion of the course guarantees that you will pass the exam or your money back, and I was able to pass the exam exactly two months after my course. If you are looking to become a certified PMP, this is a great way to do it! read more

I took the class in April 2016 and finally got to taking the test in January 2017. Since Gregg does such a great job in class of more teaching you how to study and understand the vast material, I was able to pass the test my first try. After not even thinking about the material for over 8 months, I had no problem using the class binder, notes, and online course to bring myself up to a level where i could pass. The website is just as valuable as the 35 hr boot camp. PMA does a great job of teaching and testing to get one ready for their PMP test. Thanks again Gregg and PMA.... THREE more letters after my name!!!! read more

My confidence went up significantly within just the one week. As a result of this class, the PMA prep materials and a good amount of cramming I passed my PMP on the first attempt. Listen to the instructor and follow their guidance for preparation and you will have a great chance of passing the exam. read more
