Overall Sprintzeal Comptia A+ was great, they helped me a lot just learning stuff I would have never learned otherwise, one way they could improve is by starting a bit earlier in IT, like just giving basic knowledge and vocabulary that we should know. Otherwise once we learned everything it was pretty easy to grasp.

PMP Boot camp by Syed M. Quadri on 21-25 Oct 2019. Excellent class. Mr. Quadri presented sound information and gave logic advice that was helpful to tie the information together for memory. Great point on the ITTO's that I and O are nouns and TT's are verbs or actions

I have attended ITIL® 4 Foundation by Sprintzeal that was really helpful to get introduction to the matter and get prepared to the exam. The trainer has demonstrated his ability to emphasize the most crucial points of ITIL 4, the communication was easy and straight forward, all the queries have been answered properly with real life examples.

The course content is comprehensive and invaluable! I gained key understandings that I wouldn't have gained studying on my own. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable in PMI and PMP, with expert experience in project management. They made hard concepts easy to access through simplified visuals and ample resources! I am confident that this course has prepared me well to succeed and pass the PMP test. I highly recommend this course.

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.
