PMP / CAPM Certification

We have made some changes to the cost structure of our boot camp.  We have removed our multi-student discount and have, instead, extended that reduced pricing to everyone!  We have tightened the requirements on our guarantee and have added fees for cancelations, changing class dates and renting laptops.  Through these small changes, which do not affect the quality of the class, we have been able to reduce the price of the class and pass on those costs savings to our customers!

If you attend boot camp, follow all of the rules and regulations and still don't pass the exam, then we will give you a free seat in a future boot camp, or will provide you with a custom study and learning plan to help you prepare for your retest.

We have a 88% pass rate for students who participated in PMP Exam Boot Camp and took the exam within two weeks of attending camp.

We provide focused study on the right content, computer exam simulation experience (PM Final) and PMP-certified instructors who know the test and are trained in instructional design and adult education.

No. Your formal title can be anything--you just need to prove that your job included project management work--initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling, and closing projects.  Titles such as project lead, team lead, project coordinator, project administrator, project expeditor, typically include the project management activities required.
