Customer Review

I got a chance to review the uCertify PMI-SP course. The course focuses on the objectives of the PMI-SP exam and the course contains Flashcards, Exercises, Quizzes and Labs related to each chapter. At the end of every lesson, uCertify courses guide the learners on the path they should follow. I would recommend this course to everyone who is preparing for the PMI-SP certification exam.

This Practical and Down to Earth course is focused on preparing you to pass the exam since you should already have the basic knowledge as a project manager or a project scheduler. If you are preparing for the exam, it means you acquired a good level of professionalism in this area so the course will not start from scratch which is a good thing. I was fortunate to review this course. Although I went through a similar course while preparing for my PMI-SP certification, it was in no way close to this one. I can truly say that this course is a very useful course covering all the areas that need to be covered in a PMI-SP course.

I have gone through uCertify PMI-SPexam preparation material which is very much good for preparation. They have both video and text content for each of the task mentioned in ECO of PMI-SP. There were questions after each of the task which ensures you have understood the topics. Also, there were questions after each domain which helps to check our preparation. I can see the course is good for exam preparation.
