WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US …

I have taken five classes with Dr Jimmie Flores and have benefited greatly for his professional yet personal delivery and teaching style. Jimmie made himself available before, during and after classroom instructions to ensure that I fully grasped the concepts being taught. I have had many conversations with Jimmie outside of normal business hours, which just goes to show how dedicated he is to teaching. The subject matter, textbooks and handouts perfectly complimented the classroom instruction. After taking his PMP Examination Preparation class, I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt! I could not have done this without Dr Jimmie Flores.

I took both Project Management Essentials and Project Management Certification Exam Prep from Dr. Flores.  These courses are a must for anyone seriously considering taking and passing the Project Management Certification Exam or stepping up their Project Management skills.   The courses were fast paced and targeted to the exams knowledge content with just enough real life examples to make it relevant.  Even those not interested in PMP®Certification would benefit from the overview of the tools and techniques used by Project Managers meet strategic objectives through a Project Management framework.

I took a core college course with Dr. Flores towards my MSPM degree. Through our discussions and my informing him of my plan and desire to obtain my PMP, Dr. Flores introduced me to the Kool Derby Academy preparation of the PMP exam. I believe that both his academic and PMP courses were key to my success in passing the PMP exam on my first try. Dr. Flores knows the material at a masterly-level, operationally and academically. This was evident in the way he presented the class material, led discussions, and provided real-life experiences. He creates a classroom environment in which any level of question can comfortably be asked without fear. The numerous online resources made available to students at Kool Derby are extremely beneficial and I know played a role in me passing the exam. Dr. Flores and the Kool Derby academy provided me with a solid supplementation to my project management knowledge, and enhanced my confidence to do well on the exam. I look forward to taking additional courses from Kool Derby Academy in the future because I know I will receive a solid knowledge base and do so in a fun learning environment.

After taking three classes, I’m extremely pleased with the training I received at the Kool Derby Academy. It was just what I was looking for to be the foundation of information toward my certifications. The focus of the material, professional delivery and anecdotal real-life experiences of Dr. Flores really help the student grasp the concepts being presented. Dr. Flores combines a polished curriculum of summarized information with engaging team activities which was extremely helpful in solidifying the information presented, bridging the gap between information and understanding. The class workbooks and handouts were the basis of my study materials and really helped me pass my exams.

I took two corporate courses with Dr. Flores: Project Management Essentials and Project Management Intermediate. These two classes helped me a lot, and were instrumental in my passing the CAPM on the first try. Dr. Flores taught me not only how to pass the exam, but also how to understand the key project management concepts. His real-life experiences and examples made the difference. I am very grateful! Thanks, Dr. Flores! I am sure this certification will help me start a new path on my career.

I attended the Beginner and Intermediate Project Management classes through Kool Derby Academy taught by Dr. Jimmie Flores. I was pleased with the training I received. The classes were well structured and interesting, and they stoked my interest in Project Management as a future career path. They helped provide the foundation I needed to study for and pass the CAPM exam within a month of the last class. The workbooks, practice quizzes and other study materials shared in the class were essential tools in helping me learn the necessary information and will remain in my library for future reference. I’m very thankful that I took the class and for all the guidance provided.

Jimmie’s class was fundamental in my understanding of the key concepts the PMP exam would cover and, ultimately, my success. Not only did he prepare me for the exam, he gave real world examples that put lectures into practice instead of just being definitions. He makes sure to break down concepts so everyone in class understands and encourages questions. He helped with any questions I had about applying to take the test all the way through scheduling it, Jimmie truly cares about your success!! He is full of encouraging words and will push you to reach your full potential. With all the training and quizzes offered through the Kool Derby Academy, as long as you study and pay attention in Jimmie’s class – you’ll be sure to succeed!

Dr. Flores is one of the better instructors I've known. He's intimately familiar with the material and excels at  communicating it. The Kool Derby courses serve to demystify project management and instill a thorough understanding of the PMBOK in even less experienced students, like myself.

Dr Flores' class was essential for me passing the PMI-ACP exam. I also had previously taken his scrum master training and between the two of these classes, I was setup for success. With only ~24 hours of study time after the class, I was ready for the exam. Had it not been for Dr. Flores' training I would have most likely had to spend two to three times more hours in study. Dr. Flores gives great study material and his teaching methods are easy and fun to follow. It is always a pleasure to be in Dr. Flores' training and I look forward to attending the next one. I am sure that after his PMP training course, I will also be ready to tackle the PMP exam as well. Thanks Dr. Flores!

This is the 3rd class I've taken with Dr. Flores and I can only describe them as the 'Cliff Notes' for certification. The classes do a fantastic job of summarizing the key points and concepts necessary to gain a thorough understanding of the knowledge required for certification. The focus of the material and the professional delivery get to the heart of what you need to know in a clear concise manner.  Dr. Flores uses his real life anecdotal experiences to help students relate and understand the concepts being presented. After 3 successful certifications I can speak from experience.…..you can do it the hard way …..or you can do it the JMBOK way.

For those of you still “on the fence” on which PMP Certification Prep course to enroll in, I highly recommend Dr. Flores’ PMP Prep course. I found it to be quick, precise, and well-worth the time and expense. It convinced me to take the formal exam for my PMP Certification.

The course was most beneficial in that it taught me the methods and tools of the professional management body of knowledge and prepared me for taking the PMP exam.

Dr. Flores taught from his tailored JMBOK presentation handout which thoroughly covered the PMP exam topics and included many definitions and examples. It provided references to additional information and examples in the PMBOK and Rita Mulcahy’s PMP Exam Prep Document which we reviewed.

Dr. Flores thoroughly knew his subject and presented the management material in a very positive, up-beat manner with readily understandable examples which made the material come alive. He injected real life illustrations which helped us see the application and benefits of the PMP management methodologies.

For each of the daily sessions, Dr. Flores used practice exams for the material we covered which helped ingrain the material in our minds, show us our strengths, point out our weaknesses, and direct our focus to areas needing improvement. Dr. Flores made the class interesting and kept us alert by asking questions and rewarding correct responses. At the end of the course, the top three students with the most correct answers were presented tokens of appreciation.

I highly recommend attending Dr. Flores’ PMP Certification Preparation course.

Dr. Flores,
Let me start off by saying that I am absolutely impressed with your remarkable background and credentials. Having said that, I very much enjoyed (and not to mention learned quite a bit) your Intro to PM class offered to City staff last week. Other staff in our office attended an earlier class with yourself and came back with rave reviews. They were right!I appreciate your candor, sense of humor as well as your ability to relay such “stiff” material. Sharing your background with us was awe inspiring. I hope I am able to attend your next course. Thanks!

I couldn’t have done it in a very short time without the PMP Certification Prep class and the instructor. Dr. Jimmie Flores is an awesome instructor and his teaching style really made this class interesting and the test easy. I used a lot of his tips and suggestions which greatly helped me reducing my study time. The in-class activities were really helpful. I would recommend this class from Dr. Flores to anyone else working to get their PMP.

Dr. Flores is one of the better instructors I've known. He's intimately familiar with the material and excels at  communicating it. The Kool Derby courses serve to demystify project management and instill a thorough understanding of the PMBOK in even less experienced students, like myself.

For those of you still “on the fence” on which PMP Certification Prep course to enroll in, I highly recommend Dr. Flores’ PMP Prep course. I found it to be quick, precise, and well-worth the time and expense. It convinced me to take the formal exam for my PMP Certification. The course is well structured and timed for maximum results and less fluff, well suited for my way of studying.

Dr. Flores - It's our pleasure and we are glad that we had you as our trainer for this course. I never thought I could clear the certification with two days of training. I now understood the importance of the professional class-room training. Thanks a lot for making all this happen. We will stay in touch with you.

I attended the JMBOK Academy PMP preparation course. I confidently passed the PMP examination on the first try. The course was well organized and structured towards achieving PMP certification. The course helped me to increase my confidence level to pass the PMP exam. Overall the course filtered out the most important information from the PMBOK, which helped me to better understand project management  concepts/tools/techniques, and improved my ability to study for the PMP Exam. Dr. Flores did a excellent job of covering the material and kept the class focused. If you're a working professional or a Project Manager on the go, JMBOK’s PMP Prep, with it’s flexible schedule, is the course to take.

I have taken 3 classes with Dr. Flores and they were all excellent classes. The PMP was my 4th professional certificate exam so I am very familiar with these types of classes. Dr. Flores is by far the best certificate instructor I have had. Dr. Flores does a fantastic job of summarizing the key points and concepts necessary to gain a thorough understanding of the knowledge required for the certification. The focus of the material and Dr. Flores’ excellent presentation skills get to the heart of what you need to know in a very clear and concise manner. Dr. Flores makes the learning enjoyable. The classroom time goes by very quickly. He uses real life experiences to help students relate to and understand the concepts. I was prepared for this exam much faster than I was for any of my previous certification exams.
