Reviews By Our Customers
Mariana Phillips PhD, MSc
Sr. Scientist at Doehler Group"Crossed paths with Tammy during a one-on-one online PMP certification training program. She was just phenomenal! She was able to synthesize an enormous amount of material and kept me engaged at all times. She’s knowledgeable, personable and understanding. My absolute pleasure."
Lisa Singleton, MA, CCEP, PMP, GRCP
Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional and Project Management Professional at NAVEX Global"PMP boot camp students in the Charlotte area: if Tammy Minder is your instructor, you are in great hands. Tammy makes sense of the material. She expertly distills the PMBOK, ensuring that students will be exam-ready. On a personal note, I appreciate the above-and-beyond that Tammy provided - I am not sure anyone else could have better prepared me."
Richard Broom
Safety Engineer at Corning Optical Communications"I like all of these other students of Tammy Minder's learned what it takes to pass the PMP exam. Tammy Minder took a class that was for me, full of new terminology, new tools, a new mindset, and made it interesting. No question went unanswered , and understood. The encouragement, brought by Tammy Minder, made me realize how much my future meant to her. I would recommend the course, as taught by Tammy Minder, for all."

Jasdeep Dulku
Senior Operations Analyst at PointClickCare"Tammy is incredibly knowledgeable and amazing when it comes to helping her students prep and doing what she does. I was privileged to have Tammy as my instructor for my PMP course. She provided students with a supportive learning environment everyday for my class. She made sure each and everyone understood the concept at hand, and had different methods of teaching to better those who were having trouble. Tammy always stayed back after our virtual classes to answer any questions & provide additional support. Sometimes as students it’s hard to connect real life examples in the industry with PMI guidelines, but Tammy was able to make those connections with an ease and made learning effective. Thank you Tammy for your support, and for using your experience to help prep me. I would highly recommend contacting her for your PMP needs. She cares about the success of her students and will help anyway she can."
Gisell Medina, PMP
Strategic Partner and Project Manager"Tammy was my instructor for my PMP Bootcamp (PM Study) 3 years ago... Tammy's knowledge of the material was phenomenal. She knew tips and tricks to memorize material in order to pass the exam. She gave you the tools you needed to pass; I passed on my first round. Tammy was bright and approachable during class and made her self available after class as well for additional support. I wish I could take every prep course from here on out with her. I give her an A++++. She is part of the reason I'm currently PMP Certified. I can never thank her enough! If you are willing to put in the work, take this class with her and you are guaranteed to pass if you do your part."
Rhett Ingram, MS, PMP
Project HSE Safety Manager/ Trainer in Power, Construction and Manufacturing"Tammy is Project management instruction, literally if you look it up on the internet or academic project management material you will see her name. She made the complicated jargon we had to study and made it intuitive. She is always entertaining with empathy. She goes well beyond the scheduled class times to work with you and even met me 2 hours before my test to emphasis the material and encourage me. She truly is a teacher that understands her material and most importantly people."
