Had a very good experience with the online CISSP class. Munavwar Sheikh, the instructor, explained each domain very well. He was very patient in answering our questions with pictorial examples. and his work experience. A great experience indeed and I recommend Munavvar for security related training courses.

Clear and informative course to prepare for the PMP exam. The content was laid out well, and you could tell the instructor, Biswa, had plenty of experience teaching the course. The additional material provided was also very helpful.

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.

Carmen was exceptional, knowledgeable and had a wealth of practical experience. She provided superb facilitation of PMP instructions that will aid me on the upcoming PMP test. Carmen's transparency and presentation is an asset and a must have in the classroom setting.

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.
