-----If you learn visually and/or love process flow charts, I highly recommend SmartPath LLC. The 4 day class bootcamp (in person) is 180 degrees different than all the other major players' bootcamps.
-----Students are advised not to review the PMBOK nor any other materials except the manual and process flows distributed in class. -----I took the bootcamp and am now preparing for the PMP exam by more traditional methods – Andy Crowe’s and Rita’s books, the many free and nominal fee online practice exam questions, and Udemy formula “classes” ($11 on sale). -----If I could do it again, I would Never take the 4 day SmartPath bootcamp course. My areas of expertise include Process and Systems Engineering, yet I find reading process flow charts a real pain – still, they do contain useful information. It is a matter of learning preference.
-----I think class participants can certainly pass the PMP exam after the course if they understand the material and memorize formulas and knowledge areas/processes.
-----Additionally, the owner forbad me to contact the class instructor despite the instructor having emailed her contact info [unfortunately my new phone malfunctioned-ended up returning-and I never got the info].
-----The owner also nagged and nagged and nagged me about getting my PMP application done even though I had provided her proof multiple times that PMI had accepted the application.
-----I gave up on paragraphing this comment after 70 minutes.
