Dani is a very knowledgeable project manager, with real-life experiences and stories. He was able to take the slides provided by Sprintzeal and know if they were from PMBOK 5 or PMBOK 6, what was enhanced, what was deleted, and apply an example that made sense to the topic. Dani's biggest challenge was the GoToMeeting process and landing back on the slide deck after providing additional information to teach a particular point. It is challenging to teach people on different coasts, but he was able to and respect the time difference.Review of Sprintzeal: Alex reached out to me and walked me through the entire registration process, answering all of my questions and there were many. I was supposed to have a live class, but because I ended up being the only person that did not cancel they transferred me into an on-line class and have offered an additional class to make up for that. I received my PMBOX 6 book ahead of class and found everything very straight forward. I hope that the three mock tests and assistance in completing my application are as clear and efficient as the rest of this has been.I have 4 stars for the slide reading and technical challenges to date.Thank you - Christi read more... read less

Awesome CBAP Test Prep Course with Excellent Customer Service. In March 2019, select staff from two of our departments partnered up to undertake the CBAP Test Prep course offered by Sprintzeal. I learned the BABOK was difficult to comprehend until our trainer, Delilah Allison, explained the book's layout and the meaning behind each section. Her teachings enable me to grasp the Business Analysis concept (even though most of my tasks were in a project management world). Our Account Manager, Alex Wood, provided excellent customer service going above the call of duty to ensure our satisfaction. We did encounter some hiccups along the way which were either resolved or addressed in an expedited manner. Also, the price per person was reasonable compared to what was offered and what other companies offered. My overall experience with Sprintzeal is a positive one. I would definitely recommend the class. Source - Trustpilot read more... read less

Taking the CISSP class has helped to prepare me for the exam. Munavwar is an excellent trainer and has helped me to expand my knowledge in this area. Having the class recorded was very helpful so that I can go back and review material. This was much better than just reviewing slides. The thing that I most enjoyed was really expanding upon my own experience and applying it to the learning material. I highly recommend Munavwar when training for the CISSP exam. read more... read less

Dana is an excellent instructor. He had a lot of test taking and industry experience. I noticed that the power point and test material references the 5th edition. For example, the reference to Quality Audit which is in the 6th Edition called Quality Assurance. Dana was able to point these out and reduce confusion. read more... read less

The CISSP training went well. We were able to joint the sessions on time. Trainer (Munaavar) is interactive person, so he gave examples to explain each and every concept. The training was on schedule related to the topics within CISSP. I liked the way he started the training by giving time to talk about the participants background. Totally, the training went well. I would rate with 4 stars. read more... read less
