Here are a couple of online - Udemy, SimpleLearn, LearnSmart, VMedu.com .

There are a ton of online training companies. And companies like Learning Tree offer AnyWhere training where you can connect remotely to classroom training.

Agree with Dinah. Many online training courses provide you with your 30 hours of learning.

This is for contact hours for certification? Or something else?

If you are good at self-study, for certification, I liked the PM Prepcast.

It is for requirements for certification. Im would like to self study at my own pace due to work and family responsibilities, but I also want to get enough info to pass test.

I did the Prepcast to get the training hours.

I also invested somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 hours total, reading/studying the Rita book, playing the Rita game (the Rita process chart), and reading/studying the PMBOK guide, and reviewing my notes from all of the above.

All that to say, I don't know if a 30 hour class will be all you need to pass the test. Because I don't have experience with any of the "boot camp" type classes, to know how much more you might get out of one of those.

Other solution is face to face coaching, like "boot camp", more expensive.

Choose the type that makes sense to you.

You will be good with 10$ of udemy but you still need a mentor for offline Q&A
