Attended the PMP Prep Course in February 2018 before the changed to PMBOK 6. We were around 30 course participants. To my surprise all passed in the first attempt. A school that remains accountable and guides you thru the entire PMP Certification Process. Application review, lunch, snacks all part of the course.

Hemant, Dave and Rachel I can’t thank you enough. What an amazing learning experience this has been. It is rare that you come across stand out talent like Hemant; an extraordinary individual who will leave you inspired. I can assure you will take away much more from this course than just a PMP designation. The course is well planned and organized making work/study balance easy. The class is highly interactive. I was always in awe of Hemant's and Dave's ability to command the classroom and keep every student engaged and up to speed with the rest. From our class of 32 talented professionals I not only expanded my professional network but also made some good friends. If you plan to take up a professional development course look no further.

If you are thinking of getting your PMP Certification & you are not at Education Edge, you are really missing the bridge which can take U to Where U Want TO BE and help you materialize your PMP dream. If you want to see the passion & dedication in people for UR dream, Education Edge is the place. Imagine a focused curriculum lead by industry experts in a cultivating environment. Hemant & Dave lead with accountability and execute with precision. They don't rush you through the material to complete the 35 required hours, Hemant personally takes accountability of getting the concepts cleared to the core by conducting additional Workshops. Education Edge has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
