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.

I took two courses with Dr. Flores through the Kool Derby Academy in preparation of the PMP exam. I believe that both courses were key to my success in passing the PMP exam on my first try. Dr. Flores knows the material at a masterly-level. 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 foundation of project management and the 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.

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' 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!

I found Jimmie to be very engaging in his teachings and the content he teached was very relevant to the CAPM exam I wrote. You can tell that he has been doing this a long time and thoroughly knows the course material and the expectations of PMP on what we need to know. The advice he gave on study and exam tips and the context he provides to the course material through the training days is extremely helpful. I definitely recommend JMBOK for all Project Management training needs!

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.

Having been in the construction industry for many years, I thought I knew all about the project management process. Taking the Kool Derby course opened my eyes and my mind into the many facets of project management that I did not know, or did not want to know, were part of MY responsibilities as Project Manager.

He is excellent in explaining the material in the PMBOK and relating it to real-life examples that makes Project Management more meaningful.
