Outdated Overpriced
Overpriced and Outdated. Purchased: PMP Exam Prep in person Jan 23-26 Passed exam: March 23rd Reason chose PMA: Referral Requested Refund from PMA in Feb: Denied. Review of PMA content: The questions on the PMI* exam vs the PMA practice exams are incongruent, but I passed, so what can I say. (per PMI privacy requirements I'm not permitted to divulge any exam content so can't elaborate here.) The PMA online platform is outdated and confusing. Videos are old. There is a "new" platform available, but it doesn't work. Delivery of information feels disorganized. I think an overall update and edit would greatly improve the program. (surprising amount of spelling errors.) The PMI* Practice Exams (x3 for $99) I purchased are a better representation of the actual exam than PMA. Also used free online exams I found via Google. Personal Conclusion: In retrospect I would -Take an inexpensive online course to meet the 35 hour requirements. -Buy PMI membership to get a discount on the test and free digital download of the PMBOKs 6th and 7th and discount on exam. No matter which course you take, you have to spend time learning and memorizing the same info as everyone else, so don't overspend on the exam prep course. Note: Major updates to PMP Application Requirements and Exam content in 2020 UPDATE: Just found out "Joesph Phillips" has an Udemy course for $25 that includes the 35 hours required... if I could go back in time and not waste my money on PMA.
