Created by: Thor Pedersen

Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 6,695 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Thor Pedersen leads this PMP prep course, with three other instructors taking different stretches of the material. It runs about 18.7 hours across 160 lectures. The syllabus walks through the five process groups, then a block on Agile and life cycle selection, then exam prep and a full 200 question practice exam. Finishing every lecture and assignment earns the 35 contact hours PMI wants on the application. It assumes basic project management knowledge, and the listing itself points true beginners to CAPM instead.

Reviewers like the plain explanations, the real life scenarios and the sample documents. Of 6,695 ratings, 3,293 are five stars and 2,368 are four. One student calls it practical exam prep. The complaints are about delivery. Low-star reviewers say the Executing section feels like someone reading a script, the slides barely change, and some speakers wander into personal stories with little link to the exam. One finds the sound and voice tone annoying. Another says a few practice questions needed the PMBOK Guide to answer.

With 43,259 students and an update in September 2026, the listing shows recent upkeep. Still, a couple of recent reviewers say it is not updated for the newer exam and want fresher material, so check the current exam content outline before buying. It is a sensible pick if you mainly need the contact hours and can put up with dry stretches. Pair it with an outside question bank if you want more practice than the included exam.

Best forPeople who need the 35 contact hours for their PMP application and want exam prep in the same course.
Skip it ifYou learn best from lively, visual teaching, or you need material for the newest PMP exam outline.

Pros

  • Completing it earns the 35 contact hours PMI asks for, which also count as PDUs
  • Includes a full 200 question practice exam plus 60 questions split by knowledge area
  • 35+ downloadable templates; one reviewer called the sample documents helpful
  • Reviewers say concepts are explained simply, with real life scenarios

Cons

  • Reviewers say the Executing lectures feel read from a script, over slides that barely change
  • A couple of recent reviews say it is not updated for the newest exam
  • One reviewer says speakers drift into personal stories; another says some practice questions need the PMBOK
Well thought out and practical exam prep; i appreciate the instructors and contributors who put this course together!
Jorge Rangel, a student

Aimed at working project managers with basic PM knowledge who qualify for the exam; the listing says beginners should try CAPM first.

By Gustavo Bonaventure on 7/27/2026

The type of project examples are too simple, more complex project examples need to be given, like those in biotech enterprises. To provide more practical tools (e.g., to estimate project value, probabilities of success, project value) and less theory (i.e. concept repetition) would be very important.

By maria verdura on 6/27/2026

I am a very visual person and there are so many explanations that they just mention, but do not show. Feels like it wasn't thoroughly planned or thought through

By Neta Cahana on 5/25/2026

This is a significant and serious course that makes the material accessible in an intuitive and engaging way for learning.

By Sanna Ceesay on 3/12/2026

I am genuinely thrilled after reviewing the introduction, as it has sparked a sense of anticipation for what is to come in the remaining lectures. The introductory material effectively sets the stage, providing a compelling overview that highlights the subject's relevance and importance. It captures my attention with its well-structured content, engaging examples, and thought-provoking questions that encourage further exploration. Although I have yet to delve into the full course material, this initial exposure has ignited my curiosity and motivates me to engage deeply with the lectures ahead, trusting that they will expand my understanding and enhance my skills in this area.

By Nathanael Sheean on 2/15/2026

great overall, only specific to smaller mobile screens - some visuals are dense and can only be understood abstractly

By Robert Shoemaker on 1/22/2026

I just began the course, but I think it will have valuable knowledge. It is providing much valuable knowledge.

By Jorge Valdez on 1/15/2026

So far the course is very well structured and easy to follow. I enjoy that there are different presenters with their own unique and various backgrounds of PM backgrounds and employment techniques utilizing the foundational principles of PMI.

By Jorge Rangel on 1/4/2026
