Overall an excellent training opportunity. Dani is not only well versed in teaching from the PMBOK but more importantly, he has real-world experience which aided my understanding of the presented material. As a newcomer in project management, Dani was able to communicate in a manner in which I could easily understand the subject matter without diminishing the rest of the students learning opportunities. The only area that I asses that needs adjustment is that the slide used to conduct the class are not available for student download. It would be helpful if the course material was made available in order to better prepare for the exam.

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.

Biswa created different handouts and worksheets that helped with the reviewing and were external to what the book was providing. Instructor tailored examples to our actual careers to help make understanding easier and more relatable. The course overall was extremely interactive.

I took a 5 day PMP Training course and would highly recommend this training to anyone who is planning to take up the PMP exam. Biswa is a very knowledgeable trainer who made sure to explain all the concepts in a very detailed manner. Sprintzeal was very supportive and quickly responded to the queries.

I took the certification program CompTIA security+. I really enjoyed the course. The facilitator was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in explaining concepts. I do wish there were more live sessions. I don't think 8 is enough to fully prepare for the CompTia test.
