I really liked and enjoyed the course, my first PMP training course
I really liked and enjoyed the training, the class offered tons of learning materials, guides, practices test, templates, etc., a very detailed Power Point presentation to define the content, and much more! Be prepared to absorb a lot, since there is a lot of content to be covered in 4 days (I took the 4 days / 2 weekends course).Professor Stephen Mercer is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable with a lot of stories and examples to tell, very engaging, and highly motivating. I am looking forward to studying with the material provided, and preparing to take the PMP exam.

PMP Preparation was Flawless
Stephen Mercer did an excellent job at both laying out and presenting the preparation material needed for the PMP exam. The class itself was very interactive and thorough with the presented topics. Not only does this class further assist in preparing you for the PMP exam but also gives you material you can immediately use for current job positions. This course through Gold Standard Certifications will be my recommendation to others looking to go into high level project management going forward.

Stephen Mercer, the instructor, demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the training. His insightful approach and deep knowledge of the subject greatly contributed to my engagement and comprehension.Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this class to anyone seeking to improve their project management skills.

I recently completed the PMP Gold Standard 4-Day Certification Program and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The speaker brought an impressive depth of industry knowledge and backed every concept with real-world examples that made the material easy to understand and apply.What really stood out was the delivery style. The sessions were engaging, practical, and well-paced. We weren’t bombarded with information — the content was structured thoughtfully, and the scheduled breaks helped us stay focused and absorb the material effectively.

Great content, but still need to study a lot after
Overall, I really appreciated the training. I was highly engaged throughout and motivated to learn as much as possible.Stephen was very knowledgeable and brought in many valuable real-life examples, which made the content more concrete and relevant. I also appreciated the structured organization of the material, the exercises provided (including answer keys and case studies), and the many additional resources shared. The overall content was clearly well prepared.That said, I found the pace of the training quite fast. At times, it was difficult to fully process and deeply understand all the information being presented. The trainer spoke quickly, and some concepts seemed to be assumed or explained only briefly.I would have appreciated more reformulation and explanation beyond what was written on the slides, to support deeper understanding.In addition, the course was offered as part of the 7th edition cycle. However, I only learned during the training that the 8th edition will be released in July, which will lead to changes in some exam content. Since edition updates occur only every five to six years, I would have appreciated being informed of this in advance, before enrolling in the course. Knowing this, I might have chosen to wait for the 8th edition training instead.Overall, I am glad to have participated in this training and have learned from such knowledgeable trainer as Stephen.

Mr. Mercer is a ROCKSTAR!
Mr. Stephen Mercer provided an excellent experience. I have learned so much. He provided so much insight into the PMI values and train of thought that will be helpful in evaluating test questions. The training materials are top box. I enjoyed the networking opportunity as well. My onboarding experience was very easy. I felt like someone was available to answer any questions I had and to guide me through the process.

I would like to thank Stephen Mercer for being a great facilitator, I learned a lot over these past 4 days. Stephen made this training very interesting, it was engaging and all around one of my best training sessions I've taken over my career.

PMP Training
Stephen the instructor is very knowledgeable on the topic and his real world experiences lend an extra buzz to the class. It is a lot of information to get through and can sometimes feel overwhelming but i found the information to be useful and helpful. The practice tests are a great refresher.

Excellent Presentation, Moves Fast
Stephen is highly intelligent and has deep understating of the PMP material. I initially liked the idea of completing the 35 hours of required classroom work in a 4 day bootcamp format. I will have to go back and rewatch some of the videos where the information was covered so quickly, I couldn't keep up with notes. But that is not a reflection of the class or instructor.

Enjoyed the Course
The instructor, Stephen Mercer, was very knowledgeable on the content and provided a lot of case scenarios to relate to. He and Gold Standard provided a lot of materials including study guides, practice tests, presentations, etc. There is a lot of material to learn all at once but I feel like it was done as best as it could be within the timeframe. I would recommend it to anyone interested in becoming a certified PMP.
