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.

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.
