Hi Britton,
If you want to do a classroom training, then you should find the best trainer in your city. I think one must give more priority to trainer than to the institute. An aspirant remains in contact with the trainer for 4 days, institute has very little role during these 4 days. If the trainer is not good then 4 days and the money goes waste. So, find out few good trainers, look at their linkedin profiles, pm.com and talk to them.

Hi Ian,
is doing your prep course via a live class/institute really obligate to you?
Well, you should consider doing the prep course via an online learning course!
There are some very good offers out there, but it has to fit to your personal learning preferences ... a self- paced, pre-recorded online learning course is not for everyone.
Because i am using it by myself for PMP preparation, i would like to recommend you the PMP PrepCast by Cornelius Fichtner. A fully prerecorded (nearly 140 video and audio lessons!), self-paced online training course which also provides you the 35 contact hours certificate, which you will need for your PMP application at PMI.org.
