I worked with Jim on the development of mScholar's fine PMP-prep materials (courseware, sample exams) and always admired Jim's depth and breadth of PM knowledge, supported by a long career of practice. Jim was conscientious, creative, and very focused on producing a superior product and and the best possible outcomes for our students.

I was overwhelmingly pleased with this prep course. The presentations, handouts, and online tools were well crafted to optimize mastery of the material. My instructor, Jim Stewart, did a great job explaining the material in an enjoyable way, shared helpful advice on how to apply and prepare for the exam, and was responsive to questions in and out of the classroom. I followed the recommended approach and passed the exam on my first attempt.

I just passed my PMP and I could not have done it without this class. The instructor, Jim Stewart, answered all my questions and was super responsive to emails after the class ended. I highly recommend taking the class before sitting for the exam.
