Rating 5/5 Stars "Thank you for your great course, great support, rapid response and excellent service."
This course will explain the DMAIC methodologies in details and follows a practical approach in knowledge transfer through effective use of casestudies, demos, and group discussions about real-time incidents. As professionals armed with this certificate, you will become enablers in continuous improvement in your organization. This course will train you to apply the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology, root cause identification, assess and evaluate performance, and implement solutions.
Great class, very informative. James Conklin, Project Manager, Harris Health System -- 
Great PMP® Bootcamp. I had a great time taking this course. I took the course to prepare to sit for the CAPM® but may be able to sit for the PMP®. I learnt a lot was challenging. Great course. We need one more day. Content was very detailed. Karle Scroggins, Operations Coordinator, Harris Health System -- 
it was a great class. Lots of energy. And I enjoyed. John Denke, Project Manager , Boeing -- 
Fantastic course to prepare for PMP® exam. Kevin Hambrice, Global Factory Sales & Marketing Manager, ABB --

I wanted to let you know that I took and passed the PMP exam. Thanks to iCert Global and especially my Cincinnati course instructor, who was an excellent teacher and helped me immensely. Steve Ditty, Executive Director, Cogent IBS -- 
Trainer was good. Trainer was very engaged and interacting. Very much satisfied with the training. Stefan Long, Owner, MAGMAX Group LLC -- 
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this training. Yomi was awesome as a trainer and working to make sure that we understood the concepts. Controlling Cost and Controlling Risk are the most complicated, but Yomi spent time after class working through questions to help others understand. This class also helped to change my perception of the PMP being this MONSTER to something that I can I can successfully do. Nancy Davis, Sr. Project Manager , GK Software USA, Inc -- 
Great class with a lot of information and tips to prepare for the exam John Eric Nelson, Business Development Manager , WCA Waste -- 
It was a great course, covered all the things that i ended up hitting road bumps on. I was the only one in the class, but the trainer was just as involved as if it had been a full class. Mark Butler, Project Manager, Starbucks Via Aerotek -- 
The training was very intense but covered with course material. It was more than I expected. Bernadette Gilliam, Operations/Technical Support Analyst , The Johns Hopkins Hospital -- 
I thought the class was very informative. The instructor did an excellent job breaking down each chapter to where it was easy to understand. I was also very impressed with his commitment to help us pass ever after the class is over. Taylor Mitchell, Business Management, AT&T -- 
The training is a great introduction into the PMI mindset. Very informative and helpful Bryan Tamburro, Managing Partner, Arrakis Development LLC --
