I took the PMP Certification Exam prep boot camp in Philadelphia on Sep 30 - Oct 3. Our instructor was Allen Young. I took the PMI exam the following Wed on Oct 9th (though it is not recommended to take the exam so soon after the boot camp) and passed it. Now I'm a proud certified PMP. The course layout, content and materials are excellent. It has everything one needs to study and pass the PMP Certification Exam. The PMA offers many helpful tools to the boot camp attendees, such as cheat sheets, quick study guides and multiple online resources such as practice questions, workbooks, flashcards and most importantly, 10 full length practice tests. I took the prescribed 3 online practice tests prior to my PMI exam which were very helpful to me. Our instructor, Allen Young, is a PMP himself and a very experienced project manager. His delivery of course material was excellent. He kept us engaged and made the classes interesting with real life examples. He also helped each one of the attendees individually, after the first in-class mock exam, with personalized study approach and guidance. All-in-all, this was an excellent choice for me and good value for money, evident by my passing the exam successfully. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to ensure their success at the PMI Certification exam. read more

I took the PMP Project Management Exam Prep Boot Camp with PMA in October 2022 with Chris Earle. It was a great learning experience and very insightful on the project management industry as outlined by PMI. I would recommend this course to anyone who has been working in project management but hasn't had any real industry training/preparation. I don't think you should expect to pass the PMP after this course; however, the course is great preparation to kick off your goal to take the PMP exam and requires additional studying (or even additional training) after this class. Also, course materials are great and accessible for several months after the course to help you prepare for the exam. All in all, I recommend this course to anyone looking for official project management training as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Please note, it is an intense course with a lot of information over four days (35 hours), but very valuable. read more

I recently attended a November 2021 virtual class with John Dokos (instructor). I had previously completed a cheap, popular video course on Udemy but I was not able to pass practice exams and never attempted the real thing. I got discouraged and put it down for a few months, then did the PMA course. JD is a very good instructor, using examples and stories to make complex topics easy to understand. And the PMA material is outstanding. They do an excellent job of prioritizing and organizing the material. There are practice exams with detailed statistics that show you what to work on, and additional webinars to get some tutoring if needed. Long story short, I passed the PMP exam 3 days after the PMA class with an "Above Target" rating in all 3 domains. I would highly recommend this class for anyone serious about obtaining their PMP. read more

I attended a PMP boot camp hosted in Center City Philly in December 2017. Karl Cheney was my instructor from PM Academy. I am thrilled with my decision to use PM Academy. I had unsuccessfully tried attending classes from other providers. However due to lack of attendance, other providers cancelled the class (often the week before). PM Academy guarantees to run their classes regardless of attendance. Karl Cheney was a fantastic instructor. He delivered the material in a digestible manner that included story-telling in a way that was both entertaining and helpful in learning the material. I feel confident that I am well prepared to pass the PMP exam. I will refer my colleagues to PM Academy and to specifically ask for Karl Cheney. read more

I had the 4 -day online PMP Boot Camp with Project Management Academy on November 2020. There were a variety of valuable tools provided both hard copy as well as online resources that helped me prepare for the PMP exam. Joe Snyder was a very engaging instructor and knowledgeable in responding to all the questions during class. He would emphasize tips and tricks to be on the lookout for in the exams. I was very grateful that he personally took time to help me come up with a strategy plan for studying to make sure I nailed it. I passed the PMP exam on December 2020 just in time before the exam changes took effect on January 2, 2021. Thanks Joe and PMA for helping me reach my goal of becoming PMP certified before the end of 2020. read more

Completed a class with Karl Cheney a couple weeks ago. This company and Karl are awesome. My original schedule date had to be changed because of a personal injury....the day after I began the first class, contacted them spoke to Emily and Mitzi, who sent me my materials and allowed me to reschedule without any issue, in fact their customer service approach is outstanding! Karl was a wonderful; dynamic instructor who encouraged us to contact him with any future needs. This is a company whom I would highly recommend to anyone seeking any sort of class concerning Project management. I plan to do more business with them, as well as refer them internally if given the opportunity. Wonderful job everyone....keep it up! read more

I took the PMP Exam Prep course thru Project Management Academy with Stephen Hoogerwerf as the instructor. It was a fantastic experience! I was able to pass the exam on the first try, and I don't think that would have happened without this class. Stephen is an amazing instructor who is fully invested in seeing his students succeed, even after the course is done. This wasn't just the class - they offer so many support tools beyond just the classroom (supporting learning tools, mock exams, follow up sessions, etc.). We had to do this class virtually due to COVID, but it was every bit as engaging as if we were in person. If you are preparing to take the PMP, this course with Project Management Academy is a must! read more

I took the PMP Boot Camp class in March 2018 in King of Prussia, PA. It was a lot to absorb in 4 days; but it was totally worth it. I enjoyed being in a small class of 8 wonderful professionals, all from different industries. Gary Raubenheimer was my instructor and he was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and motivational. I enjoyed networking as well as being in a collaborative learning environment. I gave myself a month to study and take the exam after my application was approved. I found the online tutorial I just passed my exam on May 9th and would highly recommend the class to anyone. I've already been recommending PM Academy with several colleagues at my organization the benefits of the class. read more

I attended an April 2025 virtual class with John Dokos. I'm so happy that I chose PMA for my 35 hours of required training and was blessed with John as my instructor. John did an excellent job of teaching our class. He is an encyclopedia of Project Management knowledge and experience. His did a great job of presenting the material and reinforced the lessons with numerous stories of how he has applied this knowledge during his extensive career. The PMA learner resources were first class as well. By utilizing these resources and following the solid study plan laid out by John, I was able to successfully pass my exam on the first attempt. Kudos John and PMA! read more

Great experience. Great content - very well organized and to the point preparing you right there for the exam. You get to appear for the test on the last day of the training and in addition get in room application help. There are plenty of other resources on their website - question banks, tutoring and what not. I feel my money was well spent. And last but not the least - all of this was made possible only because of the great instructor I had - Karl Cheeney - very knowledgeable instructor with great enthusiasm. Never felt that an 8:30 AM- 6 PM studying was boring. HE gave us enough breaks and kept the momentum going. Thanks PMA. read more

Karl was my instructor in a PMP Virtual Bootcamp this week. I had a very good impression about his techniques and knowledge about PMP Methodology, specially for bringing some practical examples and situations. Besides, Karl was very respectful in answer my questions and doubts, trying to explain in details all the aspects involved. Additionally, as the session was a virtual class, Karl knew to keep the audience paying attention to his explanations using some drawning resources in the presentation and the content was easily to understand. I am so sure that I will be very succeed on the exam, thanks to Karl. read more

I was successful in passing the PMP exam primarily due to the Project Management Academy's (PMA) excellent training program. The boot camp I attended on June 3-6, 2019 in Philadelphia laid a good foundation for what to expect on the exam. The instructor, Allen Young, was professional in his presentation as well as entertaining with useful examples of his own projects to help contextualize the principles of PMI's approach to Project Management. PMA's follow on material is well organized and essential to studying for the exam. In summary - Well Done. read more

I took the PMP bootcamp webinar in May of 2018 with Karl Cheney. Pretty quickly in, it was easy to see why PMA has Karl on staff. He's a great instructor. He answered questions folks had, but made sure to keep the class moving. Every story he told had a purpose, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. He stayed past class every day to answer questions. He knows his stuff, and it's not the easiest of subjects to master. Karl is an eagles fan. Not sure what that has to do with this review, but they are SB champs so you kind of have to respect that. read more

I took the PMP exam in December 2020, about 10 days after completing the PMP Boot Camp with Crystal Richards. She is a great instructors who focuses on teaching you exactly what you need to know to pass the exam. So far, everyone in my cohort passed the exam. The concepts and study materials are very helpful and of high quality. If you are looking for a course that guarantees you passing the exam, look no further. Project Management Academy is the place! I literally followed the study plan from the course and worked for me. read more

In May of 2019 I took the PMP Boot Camp class with Allen Young in KoP with the hope of getting an introduction to some project management concepts. It was a great dive into the details of project management. Allen was a great instructor and kept the material interesting throughout the four day course. It made me confident to take the PMP exam a couple months later. The additional training materials provided by Project Management Academy were essential is my preparation and eventual passing of the PMP certification exam. read more

I completed the PMP project management exam prep boot camp in February 2017 with Karl Cheney. From start to finish, every aspect of the training was well thought out and the material provided for the course was easy to follow with Karl's "brain dump", organized study preps. I greatly appreciate the "after the class" materials (links, 2-3 week study plan and notes) provided which are there to help me study for the upcoming test! I believe this academy went above and beyond in preparing me for this. Thank you! read more

I attended the PMP course with Allen this Dec, at the Residence Inn Philly. What a great course! I can't believe how much we got through in the time we had and it actually went in! I was a little concerned that the course would be worth the money. It was. The class size was perfect, the materials in the class and on-line are great. The studying, exam and application advice and ongoing support is invaluable. Thank you PMA for the knowledge, skills and confidence you've given me to pass the exam! read more

I took the PMP Project Management Exam Prep Boot Camp with PMA virtually with John D in August/September. The instructor was thorough and gave great insight into the topics we needed to study the most for the exam. John gave thorough answers to questions. The most useful part was going through sample questions as a group. These pieces were why I went instructor led rather than using an online platform for my 35 hours - the interaction was valuable. I passed my exam AT/AT/AT in October. read more

Fantastic course (8/29 - 9/1 in Philadelphia) and instructor! It's amazing to see what I didn't know prior to the course and how much I learned during the course. In retrospect, it would have been a mistake to overlook doing this intensive review because there is so much learning that happens ONLY with a class/course instructor. Far beyond what you would get from just reading the PMBOK. I highly recommend for anyone serious about a career in project management and getting their PMP. read more
