Great course, identified what I need to study more before taking test. Sly is an outstanding instructor!

Ernest Owens

Dr. Sly Young is, without a doubt, one of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure of learning from, and I'm eternally grateful for his guidance in helping me prepare for the PMP exam! His ability to dissect complex project management concepts into digestible, easily understandable pieces is truly remarkable. What could have been an overwhelming journey through the PMBOK Guide was instead an engaging and surprisingly enjoyable experience. Dr. Young possesses a rare talent for making even the most dry topics come alive. Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Young's enthusiasm for project management is infectious. He clearly loves what he does, and that passion translates into a dynamic and inspiring classroom experience. He transformed a potentially stressful exam preparation process into a journey of discovery and empowerment. If you're looking for a PMP instructor who can not only break down the complexities of project management but also make the learning process fun and engaging, look no further than Dr. Sly Young. He is a truly exceptional educator and I wholeheartedly recommend him! Thanks to Dr. Young, I was able to identify areas that I need additional study time in and areas that I already have a decent understanding of. Thank you Dr. Young!
