My company delivers PMP Prep courses in Canada based on Velociteach's product and having reviewed a number of PMP Prep course offerings, I am a fan of theirs as it does help students learn using multiple different approaches including audio, visual and tactile.
You might want to look for a local provider who delivers courses using that offering...

Joshua -
does it have to be a live class/Bootcamp or are you open for online (self-learning) courses also?

While I have taught preparation courses in the past (including I have created my own curricula) I have to say: you do not need preparation classes. Just in case you will take it my recommendation is to be sure that who will trained you is not somebody who reads the PMBOK in front of you saying the same you can read by yourself. The course must be focused in explaining the PMBOK process dynamic and must be 60-70 percent practice with lot of exam questions (situational questions) and lot of discussion between course attendance. Remember: you have to answer what the PMI expect as an answer in the framework of the PMBOK, not what you do in your work life. Saving Changes...

Josh-
I found that strictly following the Rita Mulcahy 'PMP Prep" book will get you through the PMP exam.
Check out the hardcopy (my preference) at the bookstore and see if it will work for you. This path may save you some money with the many online courses.
Additionally, I am a fan of RED VECTOR. I did not use their online course prep, but I do use them for all my Continuing Ed requirements required for my many Professional State Licenses.
Good Luck!

I took various PMP prep courses before taking the exam. One was supplied by Tools 2 Succeed. Another was PMP Campus. Of course, I read the PMBOK from front to back quite a few times and also used the PMP Study Guide book which is issued by Wiley. I studied the PMP Certification Mathematics book by Vidya Subramanian and Ravi Rakmachandran. It covers all PMP related mathematical equations which was super helpful and I keep it on my desk as reference. I also read Practice Standards for Earned Value Management and Practice Standards for Work Breakdown Structure. I hope this helps. Let me know when you pass. Saving Changes...

I did not use any prep course for my three certifications. I did use exam simulators for two of them. Saving Changes...
Having said that I want to recommend you the following online prep course 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:

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!

I liked Andy Crowe's "How to Pass the PMP on your first try" .. if you register on the website (there used to be a free 21-day DVD included with the book), you have your choice of all sorts of tests .. by process group or knowledge area and you can choose the number of questions and whether it's timed or not .. at least that's how it was when I studied for the exam (five years ago).
