Did you attend a boot camp for PMP exam ? Was it useful and which preparatory training was most helpful for securing PMP certification?

I attended the boot camp for prep and found it to be extremely helpful in preparing for PMP certification exam. However, one has to be mindful of fact that one must select a REP and also get feed back on its style of teaching / conduct modalities. Saving Changes...

Hello Tariq,
because i used it by myself for PMP preparation, i recommend you the “PMP PrepCast by Cornelius Fichtner”.
It is a fully prerecorded (nearly 140 video and audio lessons!), self-paced online training course which also provides you the 35 contact hour certificate, which you will need for your PMP Application.
You may have a look here: ? http://goo.gl/KUPFBG To get a glimpse of what you could await, there is a free version available also: Free Prep Cast -
http://goo.gl/xyXTT5 Besides this course the guys from Prepcast.com offers also some more, very helpful tools for exam preparation like a formula guide (http://goo.gl/l0RFj8 ) for instance.
Another great tool which helps me a lot is the "study coach" (http://goo.gl/lFkvBn) which works like your personal PMP Preparation Navigating System.
And last but not least they also have a professional exam simulator in their portfolio which would provide you 1.800 high quality and realistic sample questions for exam training AND – even more important! – exam SIMULATION.
Practice would be the key and you should do as many sample questions and exams as you can. To have a look for the simulator: ? http://goo.gl/wP9Crj
You may try it out before you invest – here is the trial version: ? http://goo.gl/mNa1Dw
Please don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any further questions or if I may assist you anyway.
Best of luck!
Regards,
