I attended the Project Management Academy PMP certification boot-camp in early February 2014. I followed their study recommendations, and passed the PMP certification exam in late February 2014. Here are THREE reasons why you should consider this company's service offering. 1) WEBINAR SERIES: I planned originally to take the boot-camp session at the Robinson Township, PA site near Pittsburgh. However, I learned PMA offered a virtual boot-camp. The VBC utilizes the same training materials as the hotel conference room training but... I liked it more because it was conducted over two weekends. Impact to my normal work schedule was minimal. Additionally, boot-camp from home is more convenient and relaxed. Wear whatever you want and there are no T&L expenses (gas, meals, hotel, etc.) 2) STUDY PACKAGE: The boot-camp study package includes the PMBOK and a very useful set of printed (and online) study aides for the exam planning process. Very good material to follow the class and study. They have online practice exams which score your proficiencies by Process Group, or by Knowledge Group. From those, you can set up custom exams to target your worst subjects! You are required to take their practice exam 3 times to complete the class. Between the PMBOK, the testing strategy guide, the study aides, the lecture notes, and the practice exams, you walk into the stress of the real exam as prepared as you can be. I took the required 3 exams, plus the in class mock exam plus one additional exam before my test. I practiced my brain dump 15 times in a week. And I read the PMP strategy guide 3 times over. I knew what to expect when I took the actual exam. It's a HARD test, but it was the confidence gained from the PMA boot-camp that allowed me to pass on the first attempt. Trust me, you take 5 full practice exams, and multiple custom exams on your weak areas.... and the real deal isn't so scary. 3) FACULTY: My experience was outstanding. We had Mr. Gregg D. Richie, PMP, CNP, MCTS from the Project Management Academy as our virtual boot-camp instructor. Gregg was great at getting us prepped and keeping us grounded while we learned. His suggestions for the best process to study... and methodologies for how to take the test were invaluable. I credit him personally with my passing grade. Make no mistake, you will have to work (a lot) to get your PMP. The PMA helps focus your efforts and gives you the tools and techniques you need to succeed.

The Project Management Academy impressed me before the bootcamp even started with a study box, complete with the PMBOK book, a notebook with the slides, and study materials, including sticky notes, highlighters, and cheat sheets. Additionally, there was frequent communication, so I did not feel at any time that I didn't know the who, what, when, and where. I chose to take the online course over two weekends in order to avoid having to miss work (an option that I'm grateful they had), and I must give serious props to the instructor, Benjamin Rebeske. An online course can get monotonous fast, and he kept it interesting and light-hearted. I was very engaged the whole time! I definitely attribute my passing of the test to the tips and tricks we were taught during the course. read more

After researching the best place to take an online PMP exam prep course, I selected Project Management Academy because they had course options that fit my schedule and it was guaranteed to run. I found the course materials, exam prep and application process recommendations, online exams and coaching from my instructor Gregg Richie to be extremely valuable. Gregg was genuinely interested in helping me succeed in getting my PMP certification. I highly recommend Project Management Academy as a training resource. I hope that you will have the opportunity to have Gregg as an instructor. I took the course in April 2014, successfully passed the PMI application audit process and passed my exam on my first attempt in August 2014. read more

Hans is the best!! I really doubted that I would be able to maintain focus for the long hours of the PMP training, but Hans Meijer has such an engaging way of teaching and going through the material. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable and well prepared; calling out page numbers, names, and ID numbers easily. I would recommend him incredible and the resources that PMA provides. I never felt behind, pressured, rushed, etc. Hans perfectly managed the pace and the team. I took the practice exam with no review after the course and got a very satisfying score! His lessons will stay with me~ Grateful to have had Hans as my instructor, and an amazingly supportive cohort in my April 2026 PMP Exam Prep course :) read more

I took the Project Management Academy PMP bootcamp class in July 2017 and it was great! My instructor was Roger Jennings and he was absolutely fantastic - very knowledgeable of the subject matter and an all-around great teacher. He was very good at answering all of our questions and also relating the class material to real life situations. The in-class questions and timed practice exams are a great tool for studying and help you really learn and remember the content. After a few weeks of studying the materials that were provided by Project Management Academy, I took the PMP exam and passed on the first try. I would recommend Project Management Academy to anyone interested in taking the PMP or CAPM exam. read more

I took the PMP Exam Prep course in April 2026 with Hans Meijer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Hans is an incredible instructor with a deep knowledge of the material, and he really knows how to teach it. He takes complex concepts and breaks them down into real world, easy to understand examples that actually stick. What stood out most to me is how much he genuinely cares about his students' success. He makes sure everyone is following along and takes the time to help when needed. If you're preparing for the PMP exam, I highly recommend taking this course with Hans. You will be in great hands! read more

I attended the November 2025 virtual class with John D and i passed my PMP in April of 2026 on the first try. I took the half day classes for 2 weeks which was a great way to spread out all the information and have breaks in-between to follow up on questions and concepts. The classes were a great foundation and John often used real life examples to help us remember concepts that were required on the test. The practice exams and quizzes were probably the most useful tool as part of this program to prepare for the test. I would highly recommend this class for anyone preparing for their PMP. read more

PMA was a great platform in preparation for my PMP exam. My instructor John Dokos is amazing as he provided us with useful tips and real-life examples to study for the exam. These real-life examples were especially helpful to better understand the difficult topics. PMA tutors who are always available, were also very helpful and answered all my questions. PMA provides the best resources and up to date material for the preparation of PMP. I passed in my first attempt and I would recommend PMA to anyone looking to pass their PMP. read more
