Exceptional PMP Preparation Experience with Dr. Sam !!!

I recently embarked on a journey to obtain my PMP certification, and it was undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my professional development thus far. A significant portion of this success can be attributed to the outstanding preparation classes I attended, particularly those led by Dr. Sam.

I enrolled in Dr. Sam's PMP preparation classes, consisting of two intensive weekend sessions. From the outset, it was evident that Dr. Sam possessed a deep understanding of the subject matter and a knack for effectively conveying complex concepts in a digestible manner. His teaching style fostered engagement and encouraged active participation from all attendees.

What truly set Dr. Sam's classes apart was the personalized attention and support he provided to each participant. Beyond merely delivering lectures, he fostered an environment conducive to open discussion and collaborative learning. We had ample opportunities to engage in enriching discussions, share insights, and address any lingering doubts or questions.

One aspect of Dr. Sam's guidance that I found particularly valuable was his strategic approach to exam preparation. He confidently suggested that, upon completing the course, candidates could feasibly sit for the PMP exam within two weeks—a proposition that initially seemed daunting but ultimately proved entirely manageable with his guidance.

Dr. Sam went above and beyond by facilitating group discussions among participants, ensuring that everyone had a comprehensive understanding of the material. Moreover, he provided invaluable guidance on the application process, streamlining what can often be a convoluted and intimidating aspect of pursuing PMP certification.

In addition to his exceptional instruction, Dr. Sam equipped us with comprehensive study materials that were instrumental in reinforcing key concepts and preparing for the exam. Furthermore, he recommended a supplementary resource—a book he authored—which provided a unique, narrative-driven approach to understanding various aspects of the PMP framework. This additional resource proved to be immensely beneficial in solidifying my understanding of the subject matter.

Thanks to Dr. Sam's unwavering support and expert guidance, I successfully cleared the PMP exam within the suggested timeframe—an achievement I owe in large part to his exceptional teaching and mentorship.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sam's PMP preparation classes to anyone seeking to attain PMP certification or enhance their project management skills. His dedication, expertise, and personalized approach make for an unparalleled learning experience that is sure to yield fruitful results. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Sam and eagerly anticipate furthering my professional development under his guidance in the future.

I signed on to a class at Strategism having an extensive background in program management and strategy but no exposure to the PMBOK. I was told by colleagues it will take months to even consider taking the test given the notoriously low pass rate at the first attempt. Dr.Sam was amazing! He broke down the sections of PMBOK into conscise sections with easy to understand slides and made sure to conduct a small test at the end of the session to reinforce the lesson. Even before the end of the 35 hours of contact, he helped me gain an understanding of what would be needed to pass the exam and where I stand. As a result, when he pushed me to get a date within a week of completing the contact hours, I had very little hesitation. I passed with 3 AT's, which is incredible considering the short duration between my decision to start the PMP prep to actually getting certified. I highly recommend him and would definitely look to enroll with them again if and when I decide for further certifications.

Dr. Sam and his PMP training material are exceptional. They serve as the vital "key" to achieving PMP certification. Throughout the training period, Dr. Sam effectively demonstrates real-life examples, which greatly enhances the learning experience. Furthermore, his emphasis on fostering collaboration among participants throughout the course proves to be crucial in understanding the material thoroughly.

One remarkable aspect of Dr. Sam's training is his relentless follow-up, even after the completion of the course. This continuous support and motivation greatly contributed to my serious preparation for the PMP certification, ensuring my success in the endeavor. I recommend Strategism highly.

Thank you so much Dr. Sam and Mr. Giora. This was a weekend well spent gaining knowledge on Scrum and Agile processes. The classes were eventful and action packed, which is an absolute must considering we took it on a weekend. Both the trainers explained the concepts really well and entertained all questions.
The activities were fun and helped us gain a hands on experience for SCRUM.
Highly recommend.
PS. the organizer Regina is really helpful and approachable

I took PMP weekend boot camp (12/2-12/3 and 12/9-12/10) and Dr. Sam Swapn was the trainer. I'd recommend this center (especially Dr.Sam's class) if you are looking for a good center in Bay area. He has vast experience and his teaching style is unique (not lecture style) - very interactive, he connects with the students, gather inputs and covers each topic. Only at the end he pulls the slide deck to sum up everything covered in the class. And, I passed my exam on first attempt on 12/28. Coordinator Regina was very friendly and did a great job during registration, providing discounts (deals) and managing the logistics.

Overall, am very happy and satisfied to gain my PMP with Strategism being an integral part in my journey to certification.

Pros:
*Interactive sessions
*Study materials (binder), lot of quizzes and mocks
*Fast paced and to the point
*Food provided on all days including breakfast, lunch and coffee.
*Flexibility of trainers to accommodate/extend sessions/ repeat topics based on student's request
*They even help students to use their facility for group study sessions

A colleague and I wanted to ensure our success taking the PMI Project Manager Professional exam, so we enrolled with Strategism Inc. to attend Dr. Sam’s training course. The class was as great experience, giving us the level of focus and detail that we needed to ensure success. Strategism’s professional environment and accommodations combined with Dr. Sam’s organized presentation of the material made preparation straight forward and effective. He is a great expert and mentor. Both my colleague and I passed the examination well over target and we both enjoyed the experience due to our confidence with the subject. A definite recommendation for anyone seriously preparing for the PMP certification.

Pros:
-Good location
-Fast, effective training
-Relaxed atmosphere and gracious accommodations (food, coffee, etc.)
-Generous flexibility, allowing students to re-take the course if they feel unsure about the material

Cons:
-Due to the overwhelming material load of the PMP, the class felt rushed at times.
