We are frequently asked, “When are you going to have another PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp? or Where can I get the required PMP training?". We have good news for you: the Tallahassee PMI Chapter has worked with several different PMI Authorized Training Partners (ATPs). As each one is authorized under the Project Management Institute, you can be assured of a quality offering. Here are the ATPs and what we think are distinguishing factors.
PM Training. A longstanding partner with many success stories. They offer virtual classes and have a money back guarantee.
We have also referred prospective PMP exam takers to The Mathis Group. We have received strongly positive feedback from the people we refer there. They report strong preparation, deep insight about what PMI is testing for, and a excellent backup plan in case the student does not pass the first time. Virtual classes are available.
We have worked with the Performance Innovation Institute at Tallahassee State College. They are a local option with in person classes, and an academic approach.
