Happy Client
I took the Project Management Professional exam preparation class of Dr Mui Kai Yin in July 2017, and I'm proud to say that I passed my exam in my 1st attempt. As someone that didn’t have any formal PM training, but had workplace experience, I found this course to be very beneficial in that it provided me with the foundation/building blocks to lead successful projects. I've been to many "professional enrichment" and technical-training classes over the years at Shell and Stat Oil and this was easily the single best class I've taken. The quality of the materials (both the in-class presentation and the take-home study sheets), the dynamic instruction, and the careful filtering of the fire hose of information that it takes to become a PMP combined to make it worth the expenditure. As I studied to prepare for my exam, I could hear Dr Mui’s voice in my head, explaining things with tools to help us remember. I had quite a few of those moments during my exam, where I was confident in my answer because I could remember the exact material presented to the group.

Thank you for the pmbok course which includes the precise summarised notes, especially the road map and the equations for project management. The trial/test exam both in paper and in website given had prepared me well for the exam. Looking forward to attend your class again.

The PMP Boot Camp is a great program for either new and/or experienced project manager whom would like to pursue in project management career to understand and get more in depth of project management knowledge. The materials provided are well streamline into important key notes and the exposures of 4 hours mock test during the last day of boot camp is essential for the candidates to at least experience the real exam scenario and questions. Dr. Mui demonstrated solid skill and knowledge in project management by successfully delivered the PMBOK guide and standards, which helped me PASS my PMP certification in first time. Moreover, with great patient Dr. Mui Kai Yin also guided me to successfully complete the PMI application. Thank you Dr. Mui!
