Hi All! I am a PM at Cap1. I’ve been managing projects for roughly 6 years off and on. I’ve been thinking about getting my PMP for several years, but have made it a goal this year. I get very overwhelmed with choosing who I should go with for my training course. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!!!
