FANTASTIC TESTING ADVICE
“Thanks for the instruction and refresher in the last class I took with you! I took my PMP exam this morning and received a preliminary PASS after my test and subsequent official pass the following day. Gregg instructed more than just the material. He also provided fantastic testing advice and techniques to truly break down the narrative questions and understand what the test was asking. Thanks for everything!”

PM IS RIPE FOR AN OVERHAUL
“We agree that the domain of Program Management is ripe for an overhaul, moving away from the project artifact compliance "police" role to a more value-added, integrated, outcome-based approach. This is beyond the current scope that Project Management Institute (PMI) has claim as its own.”

Eric Slagle

Project Manager
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
GREAT PLACE TO START FOR PMP CERTIFICATIONS
“I have attended several boot camp style training classes over the years. The PMP boot camp I attended through Project Success Academy was well worth the time and money. Our instructor, Mr. Richie, kept the class interesting, moving at a good pace, and covered the material from a practical standpoint with personal experience to back it up. I have recommended the Project Success Academy PMP boot camp to several co-workers who are also interested in pursuing the PMP certification. If you are working toward your PMP certification, this would be a great place to start.”
