Testimonials

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.

Dr. Flores, your presentation was very beneficial to my understanding of the proper way to manage. I have a very difficult and complicated situation at my workplace and hope that your input will help me rid these issues. Your presentation was excellent.

I would like to take this moment to provide some feedback regarding the class you taught to the City of San Antonio’s employees, Introduction to Project Management. You did an outstanding job in teaching the course. Your expertise in the subject along with your real world application and experience made the class very informative. You were well-prepared and engaged us to take an active role in the class. Thank you for providing information regarding the PMP and due to this fact, I know will pursue my certification as a PMP. Again, many thanks for an excellent job.

Dr. Jimmie Flores has been working with the OLLU office of Continued Learning to produce and deliver several short courses, workshops and training sessions, including Project Management. He has a thorough knowledge of the subject matter and conveys this information to students/attendees in a professional, cogent manner. His materials and presentations are top notch and his delivery style is engaging for the students. He has worked creatively to work with Project Management students providing additional course materials online for them to access and use at their convenience. He is innovative, a team player and works to achieve the learning outcomes of the Project Management training goals and objectives. We continue to employ and partner with Dr. Flores on creating and delivering additional Project Management workshops and tutorials here at OLLU.

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. Jimmie Flores taught a week-long PMP Certification Preparation course which I attended April 11 – April 15, 2011. It was excellent. 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.

I wanted to let you know that I passed my PMP exam this weekend and I don’t think I would’ve been able to do it without your class. Thanks for the great job delivering the class and providing good tips and tricks to passing the exam. It was definitely worth the time, so thank you for passing on your knowledge to me and so many others.

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.

Dr. Flores is a dynamic instructor who consistently delivers top notch instruction to our corporate clients such as Rackspace Hosting, General Dynamics, and the City of San Antonio. He takes pride in delivering cutting edge information and is always a valuable resource for Project Management course content. Our department can always rely on Jimmie to provide excellent instruction.

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.
