The Bad

  • Internet Connection Required
  • 6-Month Time Frame

Internet Connection Required

Brain Sensei’s PMP course is convenient in that all you need is an internet connection and you can access the modules with a tablet, smartphone, or laptop. But this also means that when you don’t have an internet connection, you can’t access course materials.

Brain Sensei courses do not work within the Microsoft Edge browser.

6-Month Time Frame

When you purchase the PMP certification course or any of the standalone modules, you have only six months to complete the course before it expires, so make sure you’ll have the time to complete it within that time frame prior to purchasing.
