When preparing for a PMI certification, what are the key attributes that attracts you when selecting a PMP training center/firm?

Tayo -

1. How long have they been providing PMP preparatory training?

2. What are the qualifications of their instructors?

3. Are they willing to provide references who can be independently contacted?

4. Do they deliver training in a holistic manner or do they only use one medium (e.g. in-class training)?

While this is NOT a mark of quality, if they are part of PMI's REP program, there would have been some basic auditing done of their courseware.

REP is good but this is not a final . This is a business rather than develop relationship . Must use reference from previous student who fails the certification , what wrong with them ? It most important
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, I can common themes like being a R.E.P from PMI and also references are important. I asked this question because I was potentially looking at starting a PMP training program as I have been an instructor for about a year and found the experience quite rewarding (enabling people from different backgrounds and industries to attain the PMP certification)
