    Pro- learning in a classroom with the ability to ask questions or work through things you were…read morestruggling with. Pro/Con- it is (4) 9 hour days in a row. It is intense. It worked for me with my work schedule and how I learn but is a lot. Pro- Phillip the instructor was extremely knowledgeable, relatable and kind. I even connected with him after I passed the test and he was cheering me on then too! Pro/con- you learn way more information than you actually need for the test. You go into formulas and graphs and diagrams. All of it is extremely helpful information on how to do my job, but a lot of it was not on the test so I spent time studying and cramming things that I didnt need to know. Pro-They give you all of the study materials that you need. You do not need to buy additional books or study guides. It has a ton of practice tests and quizzes and really guides you where to look on the areas you need to focus on. A bit of background: I do projects and work in leadership but my title is nowhere near "project manager." I was learning all of the terms and formulas and all of it from scratch. It was a lot to learn in four days but that worked for me and my work/learning style. Overall, I would strongly recommend!

    I took Project Management Academy's (PMA) PMP boot camp course in Norfolk, VA in November 2022…read more The course was well laid out, and was a good introduction to Project Management and what to expect when going through the certification process. PMA provided post-boot camp resources including reference material, and access to practice exams. The practice exams were difficult, and really challenged me. By the time I took the exam, I was thoroughly prepared and found the exam easy, and passed on my first attempt. What provided the most value for me was my course Facilitator, Mr. Jackson. Not only did he do a great job during the course, but he provided me assistance months after my course. He sent me additional preparation tools, reviewed my PMP application, and encouraged me when I became wary. One of my co-workers attended the course before I did, and although she had a different facilitator, her experience was very similar. Needless to say, I would highly recommend going with PMA if pursuing PMP certification.

    I've always been skeptical about the droves of MBA grads that are churned out every year by…read morebusiness schools around the country. Of course, I'm biased because my graduate business degree focuses on leadership and ethics... and it's been the lack of quality in those two areas that have led to the various financial/business scandals that have plagued our country (and our global economy) recently and in past years. So, when I heard that Concordia University has launched its first Master of Business Administration program, my initial reaction was "Great! Another one!" But, then I took a closer look at who is involved in creating and launching the program (the director, Linda Ford, PhD, is someone for whom I have the utmost respect). I also saw that they had put out an open invitation for folks to attend a community meeting. So, I went! I'm very glad I did. I got to meet and speak with, face to face, the people involved. In what they shared in the community presentation there was full disclosure and none of the usual marketing rhetoric. I left that experience with the distinct impression that here is a group of people, and a program, that will finally produce MBA grads that will authentically get "it". What is this "it" to which I'm referring? You see, business is always personal because the decisions that are made always affect human lives... for better or worse, it's an inevitable consequence. For our country, society and culture to truly attain the potential and greatness of which we're capable, businesses actually must aspire to be more than just profitable financially. I believe the creators of the Concordia MBA program truly understand the nature of this reality and will be ushering in a new era of business leadership. Check it out:MBA.Concordia.edu.

    Nothing in life may progress without risk, faith, determination, and constant feedback (especially…read morein the early stages of program development). Darrick, I am sorry that your experience was unpleasant. Thank you greatly for sharing insight. The students were there to help streamline processes and insure the program continues to surpass present and future expectations. Please know experimentation is often required to best solidify what works and what does not. Additionally, I am glad the "time" discussion was explored because the process truly will require two years of INTENSE commitment. The average time I spend is on average 25-30 hours a week, excluding the 4 hour one night a week class times. This can become a balancing act with a demanding career. As a founding member of the first M.B.A cohort, I have to say that our journey thus far has been revolutionary and worth the hard work. Yes, it is true that we still look forward to one more year before our program graduates the first cohort. If one is seeking a program that has been long established, it may be best to look else where or simply wait a few years to see what the real results show. As a small business owner, I already have had benefits out way my costs in less than a year due to this new graduate program. This is due to significantly advancing my core business skills and simply pursuing opportunities presented in direct, structured methods of action. Furthermore, a cost/benefit analysis on any level of education can be entirely relative. In my personal opinion, knowledge is worth more than gold- often priceless. If you have a drive for success, the program will undoubtedly surpass your expectations. Many of our students are dedicated to their graduate studies so as to further develop the nonprofit sectors they lead in. In addition, a significant portion of our cohort members are dedicated to full time corporate positions. The Concordia M.B.A's advantages that set it apart from other options in the Austin area include A) a Christian leadership setting that inspires change and accomplishes sustaining ethical business leaders for our future generations B) the possibility to work while going through the one night a week program C) diversity that makes the cohort learning style cohesively beneficial. I am honored to be part of an M.B.A program that is a perfect fit and has already changed my entire life in just one year. I suggest anyone interested to come to an information session, sit in on a class to observe the learning environment, and speak with various current students so as to have an array of feedback. God bless your jouney, and I hope this helps.
