I am applying to take the PMP exam and need advice on where to go for the Educational Hours. I want to be sure I'm spending the money in the right place!

I would like to know what the best options are for the Educational credit hours. I would like to do a one week boot camp, however if there is an option that doesn't cost me $2,000 I'll be quite interested in learning about it! Saving Changes...
I also used the PMP Exam Prep course on Udemy by Joseph Phillips. It was not expensive and helped during my study to pass the PMP Exam. It provided the required 35 educational hours.
Good luck with your exam! Saving Changes...

I used the grey campus training for my educational hours.
Like Rami, SimpliLearn and Udemy are good, I have used both before, Another is Prepcast. Saving Changes...

Not sure if this will help, but I went through Villanova University PM Certification program. Luckily the Air Force paid for this program form me. Saving Changes...
Check out courses on Udemy. Along with the Rita Material, I did a course given by Joseph Phillips there. I found it to be helpful and it will give you the 35 educational hours needed at a fraction of the cost. His courses usually run $200 but there are often sales. I think I paid $15 for the course at the time.
Same for me. I took both of Joseph Phillips' online seminars at Udemy to qualify for the required contact hours:
1. PMP Exam Prep Seminar (PMBOK Guide 6th Ed), 35 PDUs. About 25.5hrs of video.
2. PMI-ACP Exam Prep Seminar, 21 PDUs. About 13hrs of video.
Then I supplement with new 2018 study guides by:
1. Kim Heldman for PMP Exam, 9th Edition.
2. J Ashley Hunt for PMI-ACP Exam, 1st Edition.
As you know, reading PMI guides and external cram books don't count for contact hours. Both the Udemy courses were purchased during discounts, like $15. Saving Changes...
I was able to use Udemy in one of my applications. However, when I go to the CCRS dashboard to report PDU's I have not found Udemy in the list of providers. Therefore, I have not been able to use them for PDUs
Udemy is not listed on CCRS. Try searching for his company "Instructing.com, LLC" or search the course activity id e.g. "PMIACP416" or "109EPSWB".
I did the same on my PMI applications. I don't mention Udemy. Saving Changes...
