Brain Sensei offers a unique way to prepare for the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam. Its mission is to provide simple and innovative ways to help you achieve your learning goals through the use of storytelling. Brain Sensei stands out from the other test prep courses by using an animated story to reinforce key project management concepts. Stories have been proven to make it easier for people to absorb information. With this approach, Brain Sensei provides an engaging way to learn in addition to its easy-to-read content, quizzes, and a ton of practice questions.
Need improvement in presenting more relevant real exam type questions. The practice exams are too simple and easy and do not prepare you for the real exam. Otherwise, good concept presenting material
The prep materials provided plenty of content which prepared me well for the PMP exam. The questions were packed with information.
Teaches the PMP in a solid manner, some things you need to know as a potential consumer:
-The Samurai backstory is extremely short, and didn’t really assist me with recall in any in-depth way. It only gave broad brush-strokes as to what each phase entailed.
-MOST of what was on the test was covered in the lessons, however if I had zero real prior PM knowledge prior to the test, I would have failed.
-The first practice test forces you, as the student to actually read into the PMBOK, which was a benefit in the long run as it assisted me with quickly referencing what I needed to find.
-The course will likely cover wave tops and subjects, forcing me to self-study for a week before my test… not a bad deal all things considered.
-Brain Sensei’s course has incorporated Agile into one of their practice tests, and this test IS mandatory. This may seem strange, and I didn’t get a satisfactory reason why I needed to take a purely Agile test when I only wanted to take the PMP, for anyone else in this scenario, this is the reason: In June, PMI is revamping the PMP test to include Agile as a significant portion of the PMP. Brain Sensei is just ahead of the curve trying to get students prepared… fret not.
Their customer service is extremely responsive and does take care of their members. My program had a couple bugs, and the customer service fixed my problems within 24 hours.
All in all… it was absolutely worth the money for me.
I am very impressed with this learning system. The content is laid out in a way that will make any learner understand all the process groups and ITTOs in order to understand Project management and be equipped to excel in the test. The learning system is engaging and fun at the same time. It’s very different than other learning material which is composed mostly of videos. Some improvements are needed, but in my opinion Brain Sensei is great value for money
At first, I was attracted to Brain Sensei training for their original learning program using a Samurai’s story. And indeed it made the whole learning experience funnier – so easier. I felt like the Samurai.
Then, I was amazed by The Brain Sensei Team’s reactivity and help when I reached out through contact@brainsensei.com
Their support was constantly reliable and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and didn’t feel on my own.
At last, the course and the practice exams proved to be efficient since I passed the PMP exam – with “Above Targe”t in all Domains.
So thank you so much Brain Sensei Team !!

Overall very good. Got stuck a few times trying to find resources which I should have downloaded the before starting the program. Customer service has been great.
SO far I am thoroughly enjoying the Brain Sensei PMP prep course. I have taken a Project management class as a part of my degree which I recently completed and project management has always interested me. I find the course to be educational and easy to follow. I am grateful that this course has been designed in such a way that is simple to understand all of the complexities in project management and that allows me to study at my own pace.
The content is good and easy to understand
This review is based on completing all course work through module 102. The story and interactive nature of the course are helpful for learning and relating the material. It would be nice to have the page numbers to the PMBOK guide where references are made to it. Other information that will be helpful, are the explanations to the practice questions at the end of each module. These are provided only after immediately answering the questions. Having these available in the score summary from the “history” tab will be helpful to refresh why the answer is correct and other options are not.
Overall I would rate this course an 8/10. I liked how there were exams towards the end of every module and I felt that it was very useful having it laid out in different scenarios. I rate it only an 8/10 as I had some glitch/software issues and lost my progress resulting in me having to re-do modules/exams multiple times. All in all, that was maybe useful in the end as it was a way for me study or “re-learn” the course material.
Thank you!
