The instructor is experienced, this is obvious. To help drive home the point in instructing, they should use personal experience more often. Less reading of the data on the slides. The class was helpful.

Awesome CBAP Test Prep Course with Excellent Customer Service. In March 2019, select staff from two of our departments partnered up to undertake the CBAP Test Prep course offered by Sprintzeal. I learned the BABOK was difficult to comprehend until our trainer, Delilah Allison, explained the book's layout and the meaning behind each section. Her teachings enable me to grasp the Business Analysis concept (even though most of my tasks were in a project management world). Our Account Manager, Alex Wood, provided excellent customer service going above the call of duty to ensure our satisfaction. We did encounter some hiccups along the way which were either resolved or addressed in an expedited manner. Also, the price per person was reasonable compared to what was offered and what other companies offered. My overall experience with Sprintzeal is a positive one. I would definitely recommend the class. Source - Trustpilot

The training offered by Sprintzeal is one of the most comprehensive and complete training. Right from beginning of my interaction with support team especially Foram for registration of course to actual training by an expert trainer to conducting exam online it was a pleasant experience. The trainer Mr Faizal is very knowledgeable and made the topic very easy to understand by giving realistic example with support from a detailed training material offered. Would highly recommend the valuable training sessions at reasonable pricing point. Keep up the good job.

Small class size, with more emphasis on hands-on practice for each topic covered. The trainer Ameya Vaidya is knowledgeable and explains lucidly with real-life examples. Would definitely recommend.

Bahwna was a wonderful trainer for the Foundation Certification course. Her approach is conversational and she makes sure to tie the concepts to "your world". She even makes you write concepts down! Based on her facilitation I'd recommend the course to others.

I received marking emails for Sprintzeal during the last year or so. My intention was to earn my PMP certification in 2020. COVID-19 helped to motivate me to get signed up. The first live online training class was a disappointment, the instructor was ill and that round of training was cancelled. Sprintzeal staff apologized and did a great job of finding me a place in the next round of training.
The instructor for the second training session was very good. He went at a pace that was just right, was patient and make sure we understood the concepts before moving on.
