I was lucky to get an excellent trainer. Super knowledgeable and patient. Giving 4-stars only because Sprintzeal comes across as disjointed upon introduction. For example, two sales reps reached out to me at the same time and then I felt passed off. More visibility into who is doing what and their role would be helpful.

I was very pleased with my PMP trainer and the content and materials. The slides were very well done and logical so you could learn the subject matter looking at the slides and listening to the trainer. The trainer was very patient and thorough in making sure that I understood the subject matter and made sure any questions i had or uncertainty was addressed. I am very pleased with my PMP training experience.

Dana is an excellent instructor. He had a lot of test taking and industry experience. I noticed that the power point and test material references the 5th edition. For example, the reference to Quality Audit which is in the 6th Edition called Quality Assurance. Dana was able to point these out and reduce confusion.

The support staff from Sprintzeal,Steve Jones, were very supportive in making this decision to take the PMP certification course. The course was very affordable and I was given an additional incentive to take another course which would supplement my knowledge which was the Agile course.
I was thinking about studying on my own for the exam but decided to sign up for the course on Sprintzeal to ensure that the material that I needed to study was accurate and efficient. I didn't want to waste anytime on taking the exam multiple times to pass due to being ill-prepared. The instructor Biswa, was great in covering what to know for the exam and I feel that the material he provided will prepare me to pass the exam my first time with confidence. Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to taking more certification courses through Sprintzeal.

I'm glad I discovered SprintZeal on my journey to getting the PMP Certification and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. Their PMP Certification Exam Prep course and resources (videos, practice exams) are very effective and helpful. The teachers and support staff are top-of-the-line. When I have questions, I get almost instantaneous replies from the support focal (even during the holidays). The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification on-line course is easy to comprehend. The on-line course gives me flexibility as I can take it anytime, on my own schedule. I look forward to taking the exams and getting my certification!
