The trainer did well covering a wide range of topics in 4 days, although I would have liked some more real-life representations of what was being shown.Perhaps VMs, or examples of how viruses work in a real-to-life environment.Aside from that, I thought the course was very informative and helped build a framework for an understanding of Security+. We were also provided 12 hours of CompTIA labs that I think will be a HUGE help.

Overall, the course was highly in depth and interactive. The instructor had a great knowledge of the topic and explained the content in full. While the instructor was great, I did have a hard time understanding their accent and spent a decent amount of time trying to understand what was said rather than the content. Ultimately, I will have to re-listen to the recordings or teach myself the content I did not understand. I did have a few issues regarding the preparation of the program. It would be beneficial to the student to know exactly what the program will entail and what is expected of them such as: what technology is required, the level of participation, and the expected schedule of the program. The support team answered emails quickly, and sent out the recordings in good time. I believe this was a good experience to have and to prepare for the PMP test.

Sprintzeal PMP Boot Camp The boot camp gave me a comprehensive look at the PMP material. The instructor was very knowledgeable and offered many real-world applications of the principles. Further, I was able to ask questions which went otherwise unanswered in the previous video study course I purchased. I was able to connect the different aspects and highlight areas needing more attention. The instructor-led class was a tremendous benefit.

Jason Saetrum review Sprintzeal's 4-day PMP Testing course with Jason Saetrum was excellent. Jason brings to life the core principles while drilling down the key formulas and fundamental distinctions of the PMP. He is passionate about the PMBOK and constructs the whole "world" of the PMP. I highly recommend this course and Jason Saetrum.
