"I noticed in many of job listings PMP certification was preferred. I started researching PMP certification classes in Houston and found SMLA. Within a week I was enrolled and attending a PMP weekend boot camp. The teacher was awesome and made the class interesting."

"SMLA was referred to me by Texas Workforce. I was immediately impressed by the openness and welcoming friendliness of the team. I was later once again impressed by the high quality of the instruction provided by our trainer, Joe, who was not only lively, but managed to keep everyone engaged despite the long hours and – at times – tediousness of the topic. In all, completing the entire Project Management course at SMLA was a remarkable learning experience, and I was privileged to share it with others having similar ambitions. Passing the PMP exam was a big achievement for me, which has set the stage for the next chapter of my life - whatever that might be. Thanks SMLA Team!"
