PMP Certification Testimonial


PMP Certification “Off Peak Training’s course was extremely helpful in helping me learn what to expect for the PMP exam and in guiding me as to how best to approach it and ensure my success. One of the greatest benefits is that the instructors gave me typical situations and tips, strategies and approaches that gave me a lot of confidence. I had taken it before and hadn’t passed so they sat me down, gave me some great info and I felt like hey ’I can do this!’ I’m managing a few projects and will be sending one of my employees to take their course. Both my boss and myself felt it was important. He feels it’s important for people to “get it.” If I had to describe the course and what I got out of it in one word, I would say ‘outstanding.’ “

“biggest value-add for me was the simulated exam”


Gurdial Saini PMP Training CertificateI really enjoyed taking the PMP exam prep course offered by Off Peak Training. Their offering was in the evenings that worked perfectly for me as I have an 8 to 5 job. Chris Talmont was the instructor of the course. He is a knowledgeable guy on how to master PMP exams. His knowledge of the PMBOK is outstanding and his teaching methodology is excellent. For a person who has never seen the PMBOK, this would be an excellent course to prep for the PMP exam. The biggest value-add for me was the simulated exam set by Chris that helped me focus on my weaknesses. Overall, this was an immensely helpful experience for me considering the material that was covered, the instructor and the classroom discussions with other potential PMP candidates. Both Chris and Nicholas were very helpful before and after the class. I highly recommend Off Peak Training to anyone who is trying to prep for the PMP exam.

It would be a big mistake to go with anyone else for your PMP Training


Manohar_Kumar_pmp_trainingWithout Off Peak Training there is no way I would have successfully passed my PMP Exam. My instructor was so knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure the material was understood. He even stayed late going over project management concepts that I needed extra help with.
Their goal is your goal which is why I am so thankful I selected Off Peak Training with their expertise in the field of Project Management and their flexibility with scheduling. It would be a big mistake to go with anyone else for your PMP Training.

Thank you!

PMP Training Testimonial


Paul Steinhauer_PMPWithout Chris Talmont and the Off Peak Training Bootcamp training there is no way I would have been able to successfully pass the PMP certification test after 5 days of prep-time. Your structured program helped me quickly understand and quickly interconnect the many pieces of the PMBOK® manual/process – and that information stays with me today – 2 months later.

Thanks!

Testimonial


Dennis Leister_PMP“I took the Off Peak Training PMBOK Version 4, 5-day bootcamp training in August. The course was well organized, the instructor knew and presented the material well and the physical setup was great. I’ve done dozens of trainings similar to this, so I can speak from experience. Going into the course, I had not yet completed my application for the PMP nor scheduled a date for the exam. The weekend following the course, I submitted all the paper requirements on line. Within the specified time, I got my approval from PMI to take the exam. I scheduled the exam immediately and passed on Sept 4th. So 19 calendar days start-to-end. For me, this compressed, trainer-led format worked best. I recommend Off Peak Training to anyone wanting to build a solid foundation for taking the PMP exam.”

PMBOK 4 Errata Sheets


off peak training eraserThe Project Management Institute has posted errata, or correction sheets, for the Guide to the PMBOK® 4th Edition. These sheets, typically about a page or two long, list content revisions and other corrections that are necessary for consistency and accuracy in the book. These sheets are frequently posted after a first printing of a new book. These documents do not list minor typographical errors, but instead, are meant to clarify any potential questions or confusions resulting from content errors. The vast majority of the Project Management Body of Knowledge is unaffected by these documents, so if you own a first printing of A Guide to the PMBOK® 4th edition, you should not worry about replacing your book, but it may be helpful to print off the errata sheets for reference as you read through your book. If you are not sure if your copy of A Guide to the PMBOK® is a first printing, you can check the bottom of the copyright page. The last number in the string of numbers that begins “10 9 8″ etc. will tell you which printed version you have. Click here to view the PMI® A Guide to the PMBOK® 4th Edition erata sheet.

Get a free copy of A Guide to the PMBOK® 4th edition when you sign up for any of our PM certification classes. All classes take place in Sterling Virginia, near Dulles Airport.

For all of our courses, we work with you, the student, until you pass the exam. Even if that means you take another one of our classes for free. We are committed to helping you achieve success.
