I am preparing to take the PMP and would like to take a preparatory course. Has anyone taken one they really recommend?

If it's an in-person course, I am based on the east coast of the United States.

I did not take a course, but when I was on the board of directors for PMINUC, we offered prep classes with discounts for chapter members. Check with your local PMI chapter; there is a good chance they offer classes.

Like Aaron said, often your local PMI chapter will have a study group, or check a local community college. Aside from that, there are several providers of training, or boot camps. I used Cheetah Learning.

Good Luck!

Online test prep enables you to study at your own pace from anywhere, adjust your study plan as per your work schedule, you get direct support from experts, also cost wise it's much economical.

I agree with Aaaron and Andrew on this - I find those local chapter prep courses great in many ways.

The only justification to take a preparation course (in my personal opinion and after teaching preparation courses for years) is: 1-networking and the value that other people point of view about questions answers will give to you, 2-if you know that you will not prepare for yourself for any reason. On the other side, taking a course has no sence. In fact, the best way to be prepare is make lot of exam questions (situational questions) and when you have 75%-85% right answers sistematically then you are prepared.

Sergio,

You are right but also you need Educational PDU's to be able to apply for the exam which you can get through prep courses so even if you are confident of your own preparation, you sometimes need to take a course to satisfy requirements.

What do you think ?
