Student Testimonials

Jeff was my professor for the continuing education course “Ethics in Project Management” at NYU. He inspired me with his breadth of knowledge in Ethics and career experience and his ability to bring the textbook material to life. He is the kind of teacher who can think on his feet and teach a whole class around a recent Ethics article, and he was always willing to spend time after class discussing our careers or professional aspirations. I got much more out of this course than I had hoped, and saw my creativity and insights at work grow.

Thank you again for your lots of sharing and passionate knowledge sharing. The book is great too (The Project Management Answer Book, 2nd Edition). The Q&A way of organizing is novel, efficient and impressive. The best way to read a book is to have questions in mind so I really like it. I hope I can meet you tomorrow evening at the PMI NYC networking event. I believe it will be fun!

Hi Jeff – I passed my pmp! Thanks so much for all your help!

Jeff is extremely passionate about Project Management, education and ensuring his students can and will be the best they can be. His down-to- earth and friendly demeanor make Jeff an extremely approachable instructor who is open to and is stimulated by great discussion and debate! It was a few weeks since I had finished my PMP Prep course with Jeff, until my exam date, and I was more than thrilled that Jeff was available at any time during those few weeks to support, assist and coach me on how to study effectively for the exam. I truly admire Jeff’s style and enthusiasm and highly recommend anyone who needs a prep course to reach out to Jeff. You too will only benefit from his generosity and talent!

Thanks, I truly enjoyed the energy in the matter in which you instructed us.
Just in that small amount of time I felt like I was on the Fortune 500 board of
directors discussing the future of our company. Great class. Thanks again.

Hi Jeff, I want to thank you for a memorable journey in my life’s career. My colleague and I (classmate in Presentation Skills class, March, 2013) passed pass our written exams and hopefully will pass our videos. Thanks for the support and motivation.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed my PMP test yesterday. Thanks again for coming out to Ft. Gordon and giving us such a great class. I know it helped me greatly.

One of the things that make a teacher great is his capacity to motivate his students and to develop their passion for the subject they are studying. You definitely have these skills, Jeff, and I feel so thankful for having the privilege of being one of your students.

Thank you so much for the “Congratulations email” and sending the note to my fellow students.
I couldn’t have passed the exam without your class.

Hi Jeff,
I just passed the PMP exam today. Thank you for your instruction and help!
All the best, Pat

“Jeff’s passion on the subject of project management and the time he takes to read our homework and give individual feedback”

Thanks so much for the class; I learned a lot ☺ Hope to see you at NYU again!

Mr. Furman spends considerable time preparing for his courses. The materials he provides his students are invaluable, along with his teaching approach and humor! I have taken one previous class with him and am planning on enrolling in another of his courses this spring. HE IS A DYNAMITE professor!

The best instructor I have seen in my 20 years in the US Army.

Was great attending your class and I feel you have been able to strike a great balance between the practical industry knowledge and the PMP exam prep.

Thank you so much for an amazing class. I really enjoyed learning the basics of project management and I am definitely researching further classes to pursue at NYU. This is just one stepping stone to so many possibilities and that is truly exciting!

Dear Professor Furman,

I wanted to say that I greatly enjoyed your class which I found was very interesting and helpful. Also, your energy and passion towards the subject made the classes even better! I appreciate all the great additional materials you’ve sent us over email too.

I’m planning to start preparing for the CAPM test once I finish my certificate program at NYU. I’d love to keep you updated with my progress.
Thank you again Professor

Best regards,
Jessica

Hi! Thanks so much for your support! I think I needed the confidence and knowledge boost your class gave me to get through that exam. I finished at 2 hours and 45 minutes… even better than my last half marathon I ran! lol

… I have been on cloud nine all week about passing. Everyone at work has been making me feel like a rock-star. I’ve been getting high fives, hugs, and congratulations. I walked outside and someone yelled “PMP” at me, and another worker started clapping and cheering.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for having me in your (Persuasive Presentations For PMs) class. It was an absolute pleasure. I was also observing how you give your students suggestions and it was done so kindly and in a way where people listen and change. I learned a lot.
I look forward to staying connected with you. Im going to look into your summer (PMP) class which would be great.

Really appreciated, thank you so much for sending the info and the links. I will definitely look into them and will try to take advantage of that free pass for sure. Hope to see you as well!

Also, thank you for such a great class experience, really enjoyed it while it lasted. If you have any recommendation on what class to take next in relation to PM at NYU I will be more than happy to hear your thoughts.

Best!

Hi Jeff,
I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to update you since I know you would love to hear about this that I just passed my exam today! Thank you so soo much for your help and guidance throughout the entire process. It definitely was thanks to it that I passed
Hope to see you at a PMI event soon! Definitely going to try to make it out to one of them soon! Quirt

Jeff, Just wanted drop you a note. I use the skills I learned from your presentation class “all the time” in my school classes (I am going for my Masters at NYU SPS in Management and Systems”) and also working at NYU. What a great class and how it has improved my career. How is that for a selling point… Thank you,

– PMP Class March 2016, Course Evaluation

Thank you for another amazing session. I learned so much. You bring such knowledge and rich experience to your subject matter, it is very inspiring.

Jeff can’t take the PMP exam for you, but he will equip you with all the tools necessary to pass with flying colors the first time including PMI best practices and test strategies. Jeff went above and beyond the requirements for the class by providing tactical templates that you can adapt for your organization as well as guidance on how to fill out the PMI application. I would recommend Jeff’s class and book to anyone trying to balance work and passing a notoriously tricky exam on the first try.

Hi Jeff, I wanted you to be one of the first to know, I passed my exam today.

I want to thank you for all of your support, mentoring and training.

All the best for the holiday season and I hope to see you at PMI events in the New Year.

Jeff,

I did not get the pleasure to meet you, or be taught in your class here at Fort Bliss, but I did want to say Thank You for all your assistance. I read your book, viewed your online interviews, followed your HW assignments, and used your recommendations to complete and pass the PMP exam with an understanding of the content. Thank you for your service to the Armed Services.

Dear Professor, I want to thank you for all your extraordinary lessons, I learned a lot from your class. It help me to improve everyday in work and in life. I hope we stay in touch.

​Hello Jeff,

Attached is my final homework assignment for Ethics in Project Management Spring 2015. Thank you for all of your insight and an engaging class that helped me understand and define ethical concepts and standards more clearly.

I have two more project management courses to complete before receiving my NYU Certificate in Project Management. Thank you for your course – it truly was insightful and gave me a solid foundation to reference when faced with ethical issues.

I hope to see you again as well and hope to attend some PM events in the future. I am definitely considering pursuing the PMP and will remember your prep course.

Thanks again for all of your efforts and time in teaching us and promoting our network within project management.

Dear Prof. Furman, … I hope we met your expectations. You’ve exceeded mine! You are a fantastic professor and I sure hope to have you again in one of the other classes.

I really enjoyed my first PMP class with Jeff at NYU. Want to be back in the city to take another course with him.

Jeff, Thanks so much. I enjoyed the class a lot. We have started using the principles already in our team.

What do you get when you combine a passion for teaching with project management expertise? Jeff Furman. Take his class!! You’ll learn a lot and enjoy it. I sure did.

Hi Jeff,
I really enjoyed this class.
The content was really eye opening and I liked the engaging way you presented it.
Have a wonderful holiday season.

Thank you very much for the wonderful classes. This is my final course towards my NYU certification. All 3 of my courses with you (Basic Project Management, Ethics In PM, PMP exam prep) were very organized and helpful, I’m glad I took these classes with you! Thanks again.

Jeff, I wanted to let you know that I just passed my PMP!!
I also want to thank you for all your help! Your class was very informative and really gave me the extra push I needed to focus my study and prepare for this exam. It was not an easy test, but, without your class I don’t think I would have passed.
I hope things are going well for you in NY, and also hope that our paths cross again some day.
My best to you and yours,

Jeff, I passed my test this morning, due in no small part to your class. Thanks for all your help!

Jeff is an extremely talented and skilled project management trainer. He is extremely intelligent, delivered the course material in a comprehensive and easily digestible manner, facilitated engaging class discussions and assigned exercises that brought the content of his classes to life. He is a consummate professional in his field and used current events, his real world experiences as well as his student’s experiences to teach his curriculum in a way that made learning both enjoyable and retainable!

I was a student in Jeff’s NYU SPS Persuasive Presentations for Project Managers class as well as his Ethics in Project Management class in the summer of 2015 and truly valued the high-quality level of expertise he brought to the subject matter and the sense of duty he exhibited when helping his students. When you have the good fortune to be a part of Jeff’s network you discover that his students are well supported and that he always makes time to answer their questions and in many cases helps to nurture and mentor their educational, networking and career paths.

Not only do you learn the content of Jeff’s classes when he is your instructor but you also learn about the project management community and related organizations as well. Jeff is a dynamic and savvy connector; he keeps students up to date on the latest project management news and events in the NYC area and advises them about monthly special events, gatherings, trainings and how they can attend. Jeff not only uses his talent to teach his students but also to network people and organizations and is a well-respected and important part of the project management community at large.

Among his countless accomplishments, Jeff has written a 5 star book on project management, contributes his knowledge to the latest webinars, publishes valuable content on top-notch project management websites, has created and published training activities, onboards new students to NYU at open houses each semester, is always available to his students and offers mentoring seminars for the PMI NYC chapter. He is a mover and shaker in the project management community.

If you are afforded the opportunity to be Jeff’s student or the ability to partner with him in any way you will certainly enjoy a fantastic experience with a knowledgeable, supportive and innovative professional! For more details feel free to contact me via LinkedIn, I’m happy to act as a champion for Jeff any time! – Angela

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for an engaging class. It was my plan to take your prep class and I waited until this April session and I am glad I did.

With jetlag and all, up since 2am yesterday – I was able to stay engaged until 5pm. I am so glad for Jennifer, Dana and Sabrena recommendations and positive feedback – word of mouth definitely travels.

Although, I first met you at Susan Cho’s Speed Mentoring Session (at NYU/PMINYC) and you left a really positive and good impression at that time. The group met for 5 or so minutes, short but you were able to share as much information and show how helpful you were then.

Thank you again – your passion to grow PM professionals is apparent in the work that you do.

Hi Professor Furman,

Thank you very much for your email. I greatly appreciate the time and care that you dedicate to your students and our success in project management. Thank you for furthering my learning with a detailed explanation of homework question number 7. I look forward to seeing you on April 1 as well.

Very interactive learning environment and I felt OK getting up to give my presentation, which was REALLY difficult for me. Jeff led the whole class in supporting me, so it was much less terrifying.

Jeff is the best teacher I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t have taken additional classes had he not been my first instructer at NYU.

Professor Furman has a very collaborative style that enables his students learn and grow in a safe environment. He is a true teacher that helps his students progress professionally through his coaching, and provides great ideas and insights for the class. He also does a great job of tailoring key ideas to each student so they internalize them and progress.

Hi Jeff! I wanted to let you know that I passed my CAPM exam yesterday (first try). Thank you again for the awesome class in April!

 Thank you, ‪Jeff Furman.  It was an honor to meet you and receive your instruction for that brief period of time (PMP Prep Class, US Army, Fort Hood)

Hey Jeff,

It all worked out and I passed the exam on the first attempt today.

Thanks again for the great class and everything that came with it.

Feedback about the exam and study prep:

– Your class in combination with studying most of my freetime afterwards did not just make it possible to pass the exam but primarily gave me knowledge for work and life.

– The simulation software from Cornelius Fichtner was a great tool which I used the last 3 weeks to get ready – great recommendation! It helped me to get used to sitting 4 hrs answering 200 questions in a row without a stop button, and to get very familiar with how the questions are asked. Further it enhanced my knowledge base. The way the questions are designed in that simulation software is similar to the real exam, even though I had the feeling today that the actual exam had slightly tougher questions. Reason being the 4 possible answers frequently seemed to be much closer to each other – which means it takes an extra thought to pick the right one.

Have a good one!

Best, Robert

Hi Jeff,

Well…I passed the PMP exam yesterday morning.

Thank you for all your help and guidance.

Best regards,

Sandi

Hi Jeff,

I hope all is well.
I just wanted to share my good news, I passed the PMP exam today. Thank you so much for all of your help. The class and the books really helped me pass the exam.
Take care
Tinisha

Hi Professor,
I just passed my PMP!!!
Thank you for all your support and insights!
I am so happy!

Professor,

Thanks for encouragement along the way.

I just passed the PMP exam.

You’ve been amazing during the process!

Thank you. It was a great class and pleasure learning from you.

Thanks Jeff, your class was a big help. I don’t think i would have understood the material as well without taking the course. This was one of the tougher certification exams I’ve taken. Feeling happy and relieved that I passed!

Hi Jeff,

Many thanks for leading the class in critical path theory and practice. I found the class really useful and it clarified a number of my questions that I had prior to taking it.

As always, your attention to detail and generosity in sharing so much helpful information in the form of shortcuts, templates and resources is sincerely appreciated.

Hi Jeff,

I passed the PMP yesterday! I can’t believe it, as I thought it was indeed pretty  tough, and wasn’t sure how things were going to go!

It was your book (and classes), Andy Crowe and Cornelius Fichtner’s PMP simulator that primarily contributed to my success.

Thanks for everything and now on to satisfying the PDUs!

Warm regards.

Hi Jeff,

I passed the PMP test today 🙂

Thanks for the awesome class and all of the great pointers.  It really was a huge help with passing.

Thanks.

From project management trends, to available certifications, and preparing for what interviews may ask,
I can mark that milestone complete. These are extras I got out of your class, in addition to preparing for my PMP.

Hi Jeff, It was a pleasure taking your class as it has enlightened me to look at situations more ethically.
Best Regards, Nnamdi

You are a stellar person. On your write-up for NYU (course eval) I basically said ‘their course is YOU.’ That they can not do anything to improve cause you are the PMP Prep Test Master and that the material can not be covered or taught or explained more thoroughly.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your feedback. I really enjoyed the class. Thank you for keeping it so interesting and the students engaged.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best,
Mila

Hi Jeff,While it took some time for me to schedule I finally took my exam today and I passed! Thank you for everything, taking your class this past summer was very helpful in preparing for the exam. I could not have passed without your help. Your lectures and class materials were extremely thorough!Thank you again, Juana

Dear Jeff,
Sharing some good news: Just passed the PMP exam today !!!!
Thank you very much for your help and guidance. Your advice was crucial for the exam success,
and I will always be grateful to you!

Hi Jeff,

I just got back from my exam this morning, and I’m pleased to announce that I passed!! I am now officially a Project Management Professional!
Between your class and the books we read, and the PMP Exam Simulator,
I felt wonderfully prepared, so thank you for being an integral part of my passing the test today!
Thanks again!

Hello Professor, This e-mail is to inform you that I had a great learning experience in your class. I came in with a basic idea of project management, and I left with a wealth of knowledge. Your current events and detailed examples made the material very easy to comprehend. To reiterate; thanks for a great class.

Hi Jeff,
I passed the PMP this past weekend. I couldn’t have done it without your courses and advice.
With very best wishes and many thanks,
Joanne

Jeff – thank you again for all of the great introductions and 2 more excellent classes!

Dear Jeff I passed my CAPM!!

I am so happy and pleased. Thank you so much for your guidance, your valuable resources and amazing classes. You motivated me to take this achievement home with me 🙂 (to Bogotá) I am very grateful. Best, Liseth

You are a great teacher. I wish I had taken your course a long time ago.
I’m convinced I would have earned my PMP stripes long ago.

Hi Jeff,

I wanted to share with you that I passed my PMP today! Thank you so much for the extra effort you made to make sure I was prepared!

I have registered for your Ethics class, so I’ll see you later this week. Again, thank you!!!

Hello Jeff, I’m very pleased to say I passed my PMP today.Your course over at NYU was great! It gave me a great overview and helped with giving me a game plan on what to study. The decomposition of the material was sooo helpful 😉 Thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it! Thanks again, Dio

Hi Jeff,

… It has been an absolute privilege to be in your class, and I say it once again, you have changed my life for the better in so many ways. I’m actually sad the class is over. Thank you very much for your time and effort and dedication. I look forward to meeting you again soon. Keep rocking.

Regards,
Deepa

Hi Professor,
… Thank you for leading a fantastic class. From day one, you set such a welcoming tone. You made each class interesting and entertaining, and broke down the concepts in a way that was easy to understand. I’ll be recommending your class to any of my friends and colleagues who decide to pursue the PMP. I actually just told my former boss, now retired, all about the PMP and he expressed regret that he didn’t know about it earlier in his career. Thank you for everything. Best, Liz

Hi Jeff:

Pleasure meeting you last night @ your presentation at Fordham on the PMP Exam (for #PMINYC).

Your charisma and energy was very inviting.

Regards.

Jeff

Thanks again for that great study session on Nov.16.  It really helped me a lot.

Just passed my PMP!

Hi Jeff,

I wanted to let you know that I took the PMP exam yesterday, and I passed! It took me a while to get signed up for the exam since I took your class in April-May because my application was audited. I wanted to let you know that your book and homework assignments were great study resources. I used your book both when I was preparing for the CAPM a few years ago and for the PMP.

Now that I’m done studying, I’m hoping to have some more time to attend PMI and agile events in the NYC area. I hope to run into you at some of those.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Dear Jeff,
I hope you are doing great and life is wonderful with you. I read you book every morning before I start my work (teaching PMP Prep). Thanks!

Looking forward to my next class with Jeff Furman. What an investment into your future!

I put the presentation skills you taught us into action this week when Guest Speaking for another instructor at NYU. I think it really paid off! Thanks.

Hello Jeff,

I hope all is well wth you!

I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for everything, your class was amazing. With the skills I learned I was able to get the career experience I applied for at —— .

I will be working in California as a Product Manager for one of our internal apps.

I can’t thank you enough for all of the help and I am continuing to recommend your class to my peers.

Talk to you soon,

Sincerely,

Your answer book is the best book I’ve found that explains Cost. 

(and everything else!)  

Dear Jeff,
I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your time these past few Saturdays. You really are a great instructor. As hard as it was to come in on some beautiful Fall Saturday afternoons, your enthusiasm made the time go by quickly. In practice, project management has many unexpected turns and twists, however in the classroom, it could potentially have been a very dry subject, but you made it exciting with your real life experiences and passion.
I hope our paths will cross again.
Best.

If you are in the New York area and looking for a PM class you have to check this out. I’ve been through tons of different training classes (both technical and PM) and I can tell you that Jeff Furman is one of the best I’ve ever attended. Fantastic teaching skills and takes the time to make sure you understand…….because he cares about your outcome and future!

Hi Jeff,

I wanted to congratulate you on another one of your students passing!!
Look forward to seeing you soon at one of the PMP events or for coffee
when you have time.

Thank you so much for all your help and support.

Sent with great pleasure.

Thanks again and I’ll be in touch soon. Have a great week!

Hello Jeff, I wanted to formally thank you for the PM Intensive For Construction Professionals course this week. I appreciated the pace, the energy and the extra time you spent answering questions – I found it very informative and engaging. It would be great to keep in touch moving forward. If I explore other courses through NYU, I will look for your name to use as a deciding factor!
Thank you again.

Jeff,
I have enjoyed having you as a professor. Thank you for all of your help and advice. You are truly inspiring me to go further into the project management field.
I will keep you updated about my progress.

Hello Jeff,

First of all, I would like to thank you for the book recommendations and advice you gave to me last year!

I decided to start an in-person course, here in Rio de Janeiro, to prepare myself for the PMP

and last week I did my test and passed the PMP test! I’m so happy!!

Thank you very much for you support! Your classes at NYU definitely helped me a lot and opened new horizons for me in relation to Project Management!

I’m an architect, and now I’m looking forward to work with Project Management!

Thank you for everything! You were an amazing professor!

Best from Rio!

Dear Professor Furman,

In this holiday season, I wish to express to you my sincere appreciation for your great help in the past year.

May the holiday spirit be with your family today and throughout the New Year.

Thanks again for a fantastic class. I’ve never retained so much so easily!

Hi Jeff,

I hope you are doing well! I’m not sure if you remember me but I was in your PMP certification prep class in October of 2023. I passed the PMP exam in January 2024 and have been leading IT projects of varying sizes for the majority of my 7 year career.

That said, my title has always been analyst. I’m ecstatic to announce that I’ve received a promotion on a new team within the same company along with a title change. I will now, officially, be stepping into an Information Systems Project Manager role and couldn’t be more thrilled. I signed my offer today and had to share the news with you. You’ve been instrumental in my PM journey and I’m so grateful for all your help and guidance in getting to this point.

I hope you and Mavis are doing well and thank you again!

Best, Sarah

Thank you so much!

Your class was a great and very informative experience.

I look forward to the next class with you.

Best, Yolanne

Hi Jeff

How are you?

I took your NYU PMP Exam Prep course two years ago. After putting off taking the PMP for way too long, I finally took the exam yesterday and passed on my first try!

Your class and notes were extremely helpful and intuitive for understanding the material.

I also found that PMI Study Hall mock exams were very helpful for preparing.

Thank you for all your help!

Hi Jeff,

I hope you’re having a great summer. I wanted to let you know that I took the exam this AM and received the print out at the testing center, which shows that I passed the test. And I just got the official email from PMI. So it feels more real!

I wanted to thank you for your encouragement and your extra help along the way. You are a great teacher.

Thanks again,

Hello Jeff-

Hope you and Mavis are enjoying this sunny day.  I received the official reports this morning and am happy to report that I passed the PMP exam yesterday.

Thank you for all your support and encouragement. The class did a great job in setting me up for success on the exam.   I am very grateful that I was able to go through this experience with you as my instructor.

Be well-

Paul

Hi Professor,

I took my exam today and I wanted to share the good news that I passed!!!! Thank you for all your guidance and support, I truly appreciate it. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Professor Furman,

Hope all is well! Just wanted to let you know I took my PMP test today and I passed!!!

The full results will be released within a few days but I’m so Happy!

Thank you so much for all your help! Your class definitely set me up for success.

I appreciate all the help and feedback you provided throughout the course and afterwards.

Thanks again and hope you have a great long weekend!

Hi Jeff,

Happy New Year!

I’m thrilled to share that I passed the PMP exam on 1/2/2025 with 3 ATs!

(Above Targets)

Your classes and the extra help you provided after class led to my success, and I truly appreciate your guidance.

I even submitted the exam an hour before the allotted time! For preparation, I only relied on the Study Hall Essential, which proved to be an excellent resource. Recommend it to your students who are preparing for the exam with limited time.

Thank you once again for your support!

Best regards, Gabrielle

Jeff, I passed! I just finished 10 minutes ago. Thanks so much for all your help and support! Much appreciated! Sincerely,

Passed the PMP today! Got my preliminary notice that I passed the test. Thanks for helping me achieve this goal!

Hi Jeff, how are you? I am happy to report I passed the PMP exam on Friday I am very glad to take the class and it certainly helped me get PMP certified. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I passed the PMP exam! I took the online exam yesterday and received an “Above Target” score for all three domains. Thank you so much for all your help and support throughout this process—it really made a difference. The exam had a lot of agile/hybrid questions, and I found the first section challenging, mainly due to the wording of the questions and terms. But after adjusting, I was able to breeze through the rest of it. There were also 7 drag-and-drop questions, all on topics you covered in class. Thanks again for everything!

Hi Professor Furman,

Happy to report I took and passed my PMP in May after completing your prep course.

Much appreciate the follow up and hope you are enjoying your summer (and staying dry this week…).

Warm regards…

Hey Jeff – just got the official email. I passed!!! Thank you so much for your help, I could not have done this without you!

Apologies for reaching out this late but I wanted to let you know I passed my CAPM certification today!!! I also wanted to thank you for all of your support!

Hi Jeff, Wanted to share the good news that I just (preliminary) passed my PMP exam. Thank you so much for everything during this process. I cannot express how grateful I am I took your course. Best regards, Ishraq

Hi Professor, I’m beyond thrilled to report I’ve just passed the PMP exam!!!!! I couldn’t be more happy (and relieved). I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable support and guidance you’ve provided throughout my exam preparation. Your dedication to helping me understand the material and your willingness to answer my questions have been instrumental in my success. I appreciate all the time and effort you’ve invested in ensuring I was well-prepared for this exam. Thank you again for your unwavering support. I am so grateful to have had you as my professor. Best,

Jeff! I got my notification from PMI — looks like I passed!!! Just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you helped me to prepare for it! I appreciate your help so much! Thanks.

You are my reference point for so many things related to PM. I am quite lucky and appreciative of all that you do, and to know that you are ALWAYS a call or text away. I appreciate you very much.

Good Afternoon Mr Furman I just wanted to let you know that I passed my exam. YAY!!! Thanks for your continued support even though it’s been years after taking your course. I really appreciate it. I used the first two books you recommended, the podcasts from Cornelius Fichtner and the practice test.

Hi Jeff,

Just wanted to send you a quick note that I passed my PMP exam today on the first try with all the performance rating areas being above target!

I wanted to thank you for all your support with the NYU program and the call we had to discuss the exam and how to study. I reread your book (The Project Management Answer Book, 2nd Edition) and practiced with the simulator (The  Prepcast PMP Exam Simulator, from OSP Int’l) and it all paid off.

Thanks!

Thank you again for being such a good teacher!

Hi Jeff, I just finished doing my PMP exam and passed! I thought I would share with you first as you were so helpful throughout this journey. This victory isn’t just mine. I’m profoundly thankful for your generosity in accommodating me into this wonderful class at such short notice. Your patient guidance and thorough explanations have been instrumental in my learning. Given the exceptional teaching and resources you provide, I’ve eagerly recommended you within my circle. So, anticipate a possible influx of students in the near future. The class materials are comprehensive yet accessible, and the homework was pivotal in solidifying crucial concepts, prepping me for this test. I’d like to extend my appreciation to my classmates as well. Your collaboration and insights during group activities were invaluable. I have no doubt you’ll shine in the upcoming exam. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need insights or strategies for acing the test. Thank you!

I passed the PMI-ACP this AM.

Got an AT in all 7 domains.

I am now a PMP and a PMI-ACP.

Ivan

Mr. Furman,

I just wanted to reach out and close the loop with you.

I passed the PMP this morning with AT/AT/AT.

Best,

Ivan

Hi Mr. Furman,

I wanted to let you know that I PASSED my exam today! Not only did I pass but I made “above target” on every domain. I surprised myself with the results. Thank you for a thorough class and help along the way! #pmpcertified#militarytransition

Ultimately I could not have done this without you and the team here that facilitates the class. You have gone above and beyond with the extra help and responses. Thank you for being so patient and understanding. I am so glad that you were there to guide me.

Nikki

Best,

Dear Prof. Furman, Good afternoon. I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your recommendations and guidance throughout my exam preparation. Thanks to your advice and the materials you shared. I took the exam yesterday and passed it with three Above Targets. Your encouragement truly meant a lot to men too. Even though I didn’t have the opportunity to take your course, I found great value in the other resources and materials you suggested. Once again, thank you for your support and guidance. Wishing you continued success in your endeavors. Best regards, Lidong

Jeff, I did it! Knocked it out of the park! Above target in all domains. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. In the middle of a project right now with implementing new communications terminals for my brigade. This is the boost I needed. Your knowledge is invaluable to my continued success. I was talking to Laura and all your students are passing as well. I cannot thank you enough right now. Hope all is well with you, take care. V/r Aaron

Hi Professor, I have finally secured my PMP exam! It was on my first try as well!

Passed PMP Good afternoon. I passed my PMP exam on Friday morning. Thanks so much for your dedication, support, and guidance.

Good evening Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I passed my PMP Exam!!! Thank you so much for all of your help during this process! It was greatly appreciated!

Good Morning Mr. Furman, Great news! I took the exam this morning and passed! Thank you so much for a great class.

Sir, Wanted to let you know I passed my PMP today with above target marks. I only bring that up because I attribute my success to your class and teaching methods. I found you broke things down very well and ensured we focused on what we would encounter with the overall understanding of concepts. Thank you for your help and time. It has been a pleasure.

I’m happy to report that I am now PMP certified! I just passed my exam this morning. Thank you so much for your consistency in following up with me and making sure I got over the line. Looking forward to continuing on this journey, and thank you again! ~Steph

Jeff, Thanks for everything you’ve done to prep me for the exam! It is greatly appreciated. Best, Pierre

Hello Jeff 🙂

I finally took my PMP this morning after pushing it off for a few months. I crammed the past few days as I was fighting a flu. I woke up feeling totally not ready, I prayed, “Jesus take the wheel” you’re the only reason I’ll pass.

I went in, took my time, used my years of managing projects in the Army, stayed on pace and got to the final congratulations screen! I also made sure I had a strategy for the time.

Thank you for your instruction Jeff Furman and D_Sridhar #pmpcertification

I hope you’re doing well and staying warm.

Best regards,

Cesar

Hi Jeff, I took my PMP exam over the weekend and passed! Thank you so much for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have done it without you! All the best, Nicole

Sir, I passed the PMP test today. Thanks for all of the help. I really appreciate a great PM instructor and getting to the finish line. And I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome follow-up information. You have provided many avenues to assist with the PDUs and I look forward to continuing to learn. I am so happy that the Cyber School chose you to conduct the PMP class last year. We have all learned a lot and made many connections thanks to you.

Hi Jeff, I passed my PMP this June 2022. I will pass on your information to others that may be interested in PMP. Thank you, Clarissa

Jeff, Took my proctored exam today and passed! Thanks for the guidance back in DEC 2021. Shawn

Dear Jeff, I hope that you and your family are having a nice summer. I just wanted to let you know that I passed my PMP exam today! I wanted to thank you for running an amazing PMP course, and for all of your encouragement and willingness to look over our (application) drafts. Have a great summer and thanks again! Best, Armanda

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for your email and all the information. I want to share with you the good news- I just passed the PMP test!! Thank you again for the great course, patience of teaching and the organized materials. I hope to talk to you soon! Sincerely, Hsuan

Jeff, I have been super busy but I did find time to take the PMP Exam and passed. My score results stated that they were above average and that is all due to your course. I appreciate all of the help and you have no idea how happy this makes me. Best of luck to you, your family, and your dogs in the future. I will keep you posted as I start to transition from the Army to the civilian sector. v/r Roger

Good afternoon Jeff, I passed my PMP exam today! Thanks for the training, guidance, and assistance. Chris

Mr. Furman, I obtained my PMP certification on April 14th. Thank you for breaking down the material and processes for us to better understand predictive and agile project management! Vr Shabazz

Mr. Furman, I want to inform you that today I was successful in passing the PMP exam. Thank you for equipping the class with the necessary information, tools and techniques we needed to achieve our goals in obtaining the PMP certification. If there ever anything I can for you to express my appreciation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Once again, thank you! Vr, Ray

Good afternoon Professor Furman, I would like to share something you would be happy to hear. I have passed my PMP!! I’m officially certified and ready for further challenges. Thank you very much for your contribution towards my achievement! Yes, have celebrated big!:) I will definitely stop by and say thank-you in person sometime later.

Been super busy, took exam today and passed!!!.

So happy! How are you?

Thanks!

Alona

Sir, I wanted to reach out to give a HUGE thank you for everything you did to help prepare me for the exam. I can proudly say, I was a first time pass thanks to your expertise and assistance. Not only did you help me pass, but I scored “above target” on all categories. Again, it all couldn’t have been possible without you. I certainly plan to use this as a major staple on my resume as I transition out into the civilian world.

Thanks!

I would like to thank Tommy C, PMP for encouraging me to take this course and Jeff Furman for the amazing class he gave our group a few weeks ago. Without y’all I would not have earned this!

Thank you for being such a great teacher!

Thank you again for the course and prepping us-

I found the test to be much easier than the practice tests, and you covered the key concepts well enough in class that even though I did study quite a bit before-hand I probably could have gone in right after you finished!

Hello Team, I wanted to share that I passed the PMP Exam.
First I would like to thank Jeff for a great class.
Second I would like to thank those that influenced the class with thoughtful insight, it really helped.
I hope you are all doing well, and best of luck on the exam!

Jeff,

Wanted to share the good news – after months of prep and procrastination, I have faced my fears, signup to for an in-person PMP certification test on Oct. 16, and passed with a grade of Above Target for all 3 areas on the first try. Your class and the PMP Prepcast prepared me very well for this experience, I went through the test so fast I had 90 minutes to spare, on the 1^st try.

And the skills I’ve learned have already paid off: a week ago, I was promoted from Web Developer to Tech Lead Manager at my employer.  They cited my completion of this training as a large part of my qualifications for promotion, as I have been able to act as Scrum master on sprint ceremonies and apply Agile methodologies when scheduling tasks for current projects.

Again, thanks for everything!

Good morning Jeff. I was in your PMP class in April of 2020 and got my CAPM. You had suggested that your class attend DASM, and I wound up attending the DASM class last week and tested out last night. I got a letter of congratulations from PMI this morning.

Respectfully,

Hi Jeff,

Hope all is well with you, and I hope you had a great summer – it always goes by too fast!

I wanted to reach out to let you know I passed my PMP exam; I took it yesterday. I’m so pleased and relieved.

Thanks again for a great PMP course earlier in the Spring, and I hope to keep in touch, perhaps our paths will cross again in the future.

Kindest regards, Leigh Ann

Jeff,

Well, today, it finally happened on my last day of eligibility to take the exam. I have kicked the can down the road enough times over the previous year, and I also procrastinated with submitting my application after the class. The studying and procrastination finally paid off, and I received an AT overall on the exam from the three domains. I am delighted to say that I am very excited! Thank you for the class and for all of your assistance. Happy Monday!

v/r,

Hi Jeff

I took the exam and passed with flying colors!

Thank you for all your help in getting there.

Hope all is well by you.

Avi.

I want to thank Jeff Furman for delivering nothing but the best PMP course!

Jeff, thank you for your coaching as I worked to become a certified Project Management Professional! #projectmanagement #pmp

Thank you, Jeff Furman! I have to say, taking your PMP class several years back, and then passing my PMP exam played a very significant role in this (Attaining my Master’s Degree, April 2021).

Before that I failed 2 fairly easy certification exams and discarded their significance. After several years of ignoring certifications and my own training, you helped me build my confidence and get over that crippling fear of failure. I really appreciate all your encouragement and the wonderful way you broke down very dense material to make it consumable by all.

Good morning Jeff,

Hope you and Mavis are well. I passed my PMP exam on Friday and now I am prepping for the PMI-ACP exam. Thank you for all the valuable resources, discount codes, and thank you for your support. I have grown so much because of the PMBOK Guide and my journey towards the PMP certification.
Thank you, and be well.

Hi Jeff,

I passed yesterday. I passed above target while taking it from home. Thank you so very much for all of your support and kindness. Now that I have turned this corner, I’m resting a little bit but would like to put it towards some pursuit(s). Let’s see what those are.

With much love and kindness,

NYU SPS Longer Service Recognition Award

Dear Jeff,

It is my sincere pleasure to inform you that you will receive an award for your 10 years of service to the NYU School of Professional Studies. As a faculty member, your role in educating the practitioners and leaders of tomorrow is invaluable. Beyond being an extraordinary teacher, you served (and continue to serve) as a tireless cheerleader, sage counselor, and exceptional mentor to countless SPS students. Your unwavering dedication and commitment to NYU SPS contribute tremendously to the School’s success and to the remarkable academic experience of our students.

Dear Jeff,

Thank you again for your recommendation and support for my job application for ‘Fortune 100 Company.’

As I’ve shared, I am enjoying my new position.

Also, I want to express how grateful I am for having known you and finding a great mentor and friend in you.

Hope to see you and Mavis soon.

For all you do… Thank you!

P.S. If not for you, I wouldn’t have this job!

Hi Jeff,

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to let you know you that I passed the PMI-ACP exam over the weekend… Woohoo!

I followed- your advice re Mike Griffiths book and the PMI-ACP Exam Simulator from OSP.

I would say though that for me personally, the exam was still pretty hard.

I was so happy to know that I passed – I used all the allotted time!

Hope all is well with you and the family (including Mavis).

I’m hopeful that sometime this year, we can continue the in-person networking again.

Keep in touch and appreciate your help as always!

Hi Jeff!

Thank you for continuing to remember and assist us even after the course is over.

I took and passed the PMP exam on 16 December at the Augusta Pearson Vue Test Center, and was so happy to be able to test at a center rather than with home proctoring.

Your instruction and course were great, and the Prepcast exam simulations made all the difference.

I hope you had wonderful holidays and that the New Year is off to a great start for you!

Thanks again for everything-

How are you? I hope all is well. This morning (Italy time), I did the PMP exam and I passed it.The exam went well, thanks to your lectures, and the PMP Exam Simulator (OSP) 

I had consistently tested above 80%.

I will soon write to you to plan training activities.
Stay well and safe.
Best wishes to you and family for the New Year.
Regards,

Jeff,

I wanted to let you know that I passed the PMP exam yesterday! Thank you again for all your tips and support over the last year – it was incredibly helpful!

Jeff

I wanted to share the good word and offer my thanks to you for your efforts and training. The note from the PMI just hit my inbox – I wanted to wait until I saw my name on the certificate before I sent out my announcement to you.

Once again, I feel like I’ve accomplished something important, and I owe much of it to you.

Cordially,

Matt

Hi Jeff. I just wanted to let you know that I passed the exam today. Thanks for everything – your time, support, and those additional review sessions. Wishing you + your family and (of course) Mavis a Happy Holiday. Cheers!

PMP!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, Jeff. I truly really appreciate all of your guidance and support – I wouldn’t have gotten here with you!!

Definitely looking forward to doing absolutely nothing and not have to worry about the stress of studying.

It’s been a long time coming!!

Regards,

Yesterday I passed the PMP exam and now I’m a certified PMP!

Sending a huge shoutout & thank you to Jeff Furman on all the coaching he provided me in this journey! I’m glad to be able to call you a teacher, a coach, and also a friend! I like to think that Mavis was rooting for me as well! 🙂

Thank you a lot for your course and for your book: The Project Management Answer Book that I have with me as the best resource of project knowledge.

I am very glad that life brought me together with such a wonderful Teacher as you.

Hi Jeff,

I just took the exam and passed!

It goes without saying that I owe my success to you!

I am thankful to you for all your assistance and help. I could not have done this without you!

Regards,

Renato

Just a quick note to let you know that I cleared the PMP exam and now have the PMP certification.

I wanted to let you be the first to know, outside of my family, and to put it on record that it was all due to your course and your detailed and patient guidance, besides your book (The Project Management Answer Book) and the Kindle keyword pairs book (Boost Your PMP Score: Learn The Keywords As Logical Pairs).  This is as much your achievement as mine.

I look forward to meeting up with you, in a post-Covid world.

Once again, Thank you!

Best regards.

Hi Jeff,

Still processing it but I passed.

I can’t thank you enough for your moral and practical support. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for being a rock.

Looking forward to organizing a catch up.

Thank you!

Hi Jeff,
Took my PMP today and passed it! Your class was so great and I’m very thankful for the experience, the knowledge, and the understanding you showed me during those five weeks. It was a really brutal time for me and I’m shocked that I even got through it!! But I did so thanks to your patience and guidance.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for all the help.

Hi Jeff!

Just passed the exam 5 minutes ago!

Thank you so very much for all your help. I’m so glad I did more questions (PM Exam Simulator) as they really helped sinking in the concepts and making me comfortable with them when choosing the answer.

Thank you very much again for the lectures, recommendations, follow ups and more!  Maryam

Dear Jeff,

This is Veronica, a lady who attended your classes in 2014/2015. I was living in Switzerland at that time and now I relocated in Austria. After completing the certificate in Project Management at the NYU I studied for my PMP and in 2016 I passed it. I have fond memories of your classes, your passion and your competence.

Now I am looking with great interest at the PM Agile, as it is really reshaping the approach to Project Management. Since I am currently working for an international organization that is involved in many software development projects that use the agile approach, I would like to learn more about it and believe that the Agile Prepcast by Cornelius Fichtner could be a good choice. Indeed, for my preparation to the PMP exam I used different courses and books, among which was the Project Management Prepcast and really enjoyed the podcasts. From time to time I re-listen them to refresh my knowledge on the different PM topics.

Well, these few lines were just to say thank you for all your suggestions and for the pictures of your beautiful doggo 

I hope to be able to join one your classes again next time I travel to NYC.

Best regards, Veronica

Good morning Jeff,

Just dropping a note to let you know I passed the PMP exam yesterday. Thanks for offering the study session last month. It really helped.

I joined the NYC PMI chapter so I’ll see you at the next monthly meeting.

By the way, I totally recommend The PMP exam simulator. It was a great tool to help me prepare for the exam.

Thanks, Abel

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for showing us the value of networking and staying in touch! Last night’s class was valuable to me since it reinforced the importance and usefulness of the CP tool.Thank you for imparting your knowledge and sharing your experiences working in the field.Thank you for setting us up for exam success and beyond!Best, Megan

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for such a great course!  This material is not easy stuff and you made it so easy to comprehend, always providing some really good real-world examples to help everything sink in and illustratrate the applicability in the real world.  I am confident that with your preparation, I will be successful in passing the PMP and moving onto the CSM.  I would definitely recommend your class to anyone interested in the PMP, and would love to stay in touch 🙂

Passed my PMP this week. Above target.

Thanks for all your help!

Mr. Furman, I wanted to let you know I just passed my PMP exam and although I took your course a year ago it was vital in me being able to pass. Thanks for the knowledge and help when I needed it. Best, Sean

Hello Jeff,

I passed the test on Saturday (March 24). Just wanted to let you know. Hope all is well!

Hi Jeff,

I passed the PMP and apparently I did pretty well based on the fact that I was rated Above Target in all areas.

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your class.

Hi Jeff,

I passed my PMP Exam today. I can’t thank you enough for all your help, mentoring and insight.

This feels great. You are the first person I am notifying virtually !!

Woohoooo!!!

Passed my exam today.

I did it!

Hey Jeff,

Wanted to share the good news. I passed the PMP test earlier today at Above Target.

Appreciate all the support along the way.

…The first step in what will surely be a life long pursuit towards project management perfection. Thanks again!

Jeff, I PASSED Above Target !!! Yayyy!

Thank you so much for the great instruction and for going beyond to provide all the assistance I needed.

Great day!!!
Thanks again.

Hi Jeff,

Good news, I passed my PMP exam today. I will see you at the PM events in NYC!
Thank you.

Good Morning Jeff. Thanks for the feedback on my HW. Interesting points.

I’m well thanks. Taking classes at NYU makes me feel terrific. I hope teaching there does the same for you.

Thanks for getting NYU to add both classes (Critical Path Method For PMs and Earned Value Management”). Super valuable!

Hope to see you soon at the PM events. Best, Rosemary

Hello Jeff, how are you? Just wanted to update you that I passed PMP Exam today. Your training and class notes really helped a lot.

All the best,

Pravin

Hi Jeff, I just passed the PMP!!!I couldn’t have done it without your class.

Additionally, “The PMP Exam Simulator” tests were extremely useful – and in my opinion, the closest thing to the actual exam available.

Thanks again, and I’ll see you at some of the local PM events.

Thanks to Jeff Furman’s PMP class and Thomas Hurst tools I was able to earn my PMP.

Jeff,

Just a quick note to let you know that I passed my exam yesterday… on the first try.

Looks like the title of your book is accurate (“The Project Management Answer Book”).

And I’m sure the phenomenal instruction played a large part as well.

Thank you for everything!

Jeff,

Wanted to let you know I passed my exam and earned my PMP.
Also to say thank you for the guidance and tools to assist in getting me there.

Dear Jeff,
I am writing to let you know that I took and passed the PMP Exam today. It was pretty tough but completely manageable because of your great class and the PrepCast. I constantly reviewed my notes and memories of your lessons while studying. I was able to apply and assess my learning immediately using the PrepCast for mock exams and quizzes. Ultimately, the study and practice combined to earn Above Target in all five Domains on the real exam. I attached my results because they are as much a reflection of you as they are of me. I could never have gotten anything like this or even passed the exam without your insightful teaching and the ability to practice tests. Again, thank you so much for the excellent education and access to practice materials.
Sincerely,
John

Good morning Professor Jeff, hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I am so excited to share this exciting news with you that I have passed the PMP exam yesterday.
Thank you for guiding me along this amazing journey and supporting me with my career aspirations. You are an extraordinary Professor with a unique teaching style, and who provided an interactive class atmosphere. I enjoyed coming to class and learning from you.
Best,
Jessica

I passed!!!!

Thank you, Jeff for all of your expertise, patience, and ongoing support.

You are a wonderful professor and I could not have done it without you.

Thank you!

Jillian

H Jeff,

I passed the PMP exam today! I’m beyond thrilled.

The highlighting feature was super useful, as was the “cross out” function that allows you to cross out answers as you’re reviewing them on screen. I used the “marking” function as well and had about 20 mins at the end to go back and review some questions.

I really cannot thank you enough for such a great course, advice, material, and support. I really hope to get to a PMI event soon and work to keep up my PDUs 🙂

I hope this finds you well! Stay warm and have a very happy new year. All the best and with so much gratitude.

Good afternoon Jeff,

Great news to report, I passed the CAPM this morning with a terrific score (on the border of the highest level)! I will be drinking a VERY good bottle of wine tonight! Thank you so much for the instruction and guidance, you were instrumental in my studies
Best regards,
Boris

Dear Professor Furman

I just wanted to let you know that I passed the PMP exam today! I took your NYU class over the summer and I have been studying with the simulator for a few months!

Thank you so much for your wonderful class and support to help me submit the application.

Thank you again and happy New Year!

Makiko

Hi Jeff,

I’m a certified PMP from today. Your class has helped me immensely and it would’ve been impossible without you. Thanks for being so awesome and I look forward to meeting you in a PMP event soon.

Cheers,

Deepa

Jeff

Thanks again so much for all your time and attention, really you go above and beyond.

Best, Zoë

Thank you for the wonderful class.
Your information and delivery was superb.

Hi Jeff,

Just to let you know, I was also successful with the PMP exam..

I’m in pursuit of ITIL right now, and very interested in Agile.

Thank you for assistance in class, and with numerous elements in your book.

Hello Professor,

Just wanted to say that it was an absolute pleasure to have as my PMP instructor.

The class was not only extremely informative, but entertaining as well (which definitely made it easier to get through on a Sunday haha).

Thank you

Hi Professor,
I just wanted to let you know that I took the test yesterday for the PMP and I passed! I got Above Target overall! I was so happy and relieved because the test was really tricky! Anyway, I worked hard for it but it was also thanks to your class and all your tips including the PMP Simulator which I used extensively.
I hope you are well.

Dear Jeff,
I just wanted to mention that everything I have learned in the class is immensely helping me, and I’m glad I have the opportunity to immediately apply what I learn in class. You’re an awesome teacher, thank you so much for your help so far.

Jeff, I just wanted to drop a personal note and tell you how deeply grateful I am for the opportunity to take the course from you. Your subject matter knowledge, the high quality of the book you’ve written, your enthusiasm for the subject, your availability to the students, your extensive real-world business knowledge, and finally and perhaps most importantly, your warmth and sense of humor, made the class a huge success. Whereas I was dreading the thought of Sundays at 9AM (I don’t even start work M-F until 9:30-9:45), you made it a real pleasure and highly informative. You kept us on our toes, you’ve challenged us to think beyond the exam – I just can’t thank you enough.
And on the personal level, you are just a very kind and decent guy – and I really looked forward to the class, there was none of the expected drudgery I anticipated on Sunday mornings. You kept things rolling along to such a pace, I could sense you having to catch your breath at the end of each day. That’s REAL dedication.
Now that the class is over, I look forward to seeing you in-person again at functions, and keep up the momentum. I look forward to telling you first when I’ve passed the test:) Thanks for your superb dedication to us Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I’m happy to report that as of noon today, I can now add PMP after my name. It took me one year in total to finally get into gear and to take the exam. What a nerve-racking experience, but well worth the feeling of belonging to the elite group of PMPs. I spent the past three weeks literally sleeping with the books in the bed with me.
Thank you again for all your guidance and support and I look forward to seeing you again at the PMP events.
Kindest regards, Vanessa.

Dear Prof. Jeff,

I’m very excited to tell you immediately that I just passed my exam with “Above Target!”

Your class helped me build a strong foundation. Also the simulator helped a lot!

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! You are an amazing mentor not only for the classes but also for the professional networking opportunities you recommended.

Thank you again!!!

Best regards,

Hello Professor Jeff,

I had a wonderful time being in your class last Saturday learning this very useful section (EVM) of Project Management. I am learning more and more every time I practice these formulas and your fence example comes in extremely handy. Also, I really appreciate you sharing the tools and reference materials for PMP exam prep.

Thank you and have a good weekend!

Warm regards, Sadia

Thanks for the help, your class and your book pulled me through.

Thank you, Regards, Edward.

Dear Jeff,

I passed today!! 🙂 I’m so thankful to you especially for your example, teaching, dedication, and encouragement.  I’m also grateful to everyone in the two study sessions, and my classmates during the Saturday morning course last Spring.

Warm regards & happy new year.

Best,

Leizel

Hi Jeff,

Happy New Year! I hope 2017 is your best year yet!

I actually think of our time in class, and everyone that participated. Your course (Persuasive Presentations For Project Managers) is one of the best I’ve taken. I had to present a number of times and I found that the lessons we learned at NYU were crucial to my success in presenting. On my last presentation at my current job I gave an IT Update to an auditorium full of faculty and staff, and for the next few days I kept getting compliments on how well I did. What you taught us had an impact! 

Thank you.  

Thank you so much for all of the great info. This info is so helpful and I’ll be sure to check it out in detail.

I’m so glad that I was able to have you as a professor again. I always learn a lot in your classes and felt that the class interaction and presentations were so helpful. It was a great class.

I am forever grateful for all your support. In fact, I met with a colleague who was visiting from London with his family on Monday, and I mentioned you. His wife  said it is overwhelming and unbelievable that I have had this sort of encouragement and support. Thank you again.

Jeff,

I just wanted to let you know I passed the exam. Thanks so much for your awesome course and also the directed time you spent on my homework. All sorts of things on the test I would not have known without your course.

Thanks again and all the best,

Good morning Jeff,

 Just following up to let you know I passed the PMP on my first try on 2 Aug.  We apply PMP principles everyday here after your class.

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

I wanted to let you know that I received and passed my certification test today.

I wanted to thank you for all of your help during the class.

I studied solely using the materials from class – no PMBOK needed 🙂

Thanks for all your tips and outreach as well. It’s much appreciated!

Thank you for a great class. We were all talking about how we didn’t want it to end. You are amazing!

Prof. Furman is engaging, master of the material, an excellent communicator. Absolutely loved how hands-on and practical this class was with the everyday life scenarios the Professor tied into the lectures and assignments. He’s so engaged and keeps the course relevant to the class’s dynamics. This motivates our class to participate and stay engaged.

I loved how Prof. Furman taught us and the lessons plans were always catered to our pace and needs. So thanks for the great experience!

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

Jeff is one of the best instructors I have ever had in my career. His presentation skills are finely-honed and refined. I would eagerly and enthusiastically recommend Jeff to anyone I know.

Jeff Furman – A person who inspired me to break down further into the area of Project Management. I was a student of Jeff’s at Netcom in his PMP class. I must say that he is an exceptional speaker, very easy when it comes to explanation on hard matters. I learned a lot from him as my teacher and also as a person. I am very thankful to him for that –because of him and a few others like him I am able to stand where I stand right now. Thank you so much Jeff, Ashish P., CAPM.

Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative

I attended the PMP preparation class that Jeff instructed and found it to be informative and educational. While these types of prep courses tend to be dull – Jeff kept the class lively, interesting and plied us with clever retention tools that made it easy to retain information for the exam (which I passed 1 week later). Jeff also manages to stay in touch with his students and continues to be a valuable resource and ally for me. July 13, 2009

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert

I attained my PMP certification after attending Jeff Furman’s PMP classroom training. Jeff’s presentation made it easy to understand the essential Project Management concepts. Jeff provides one-on-one time with each student to address their specific questions.

I recommend Jeff Furman’s classes for anybody who is taking the PMP certification exam July 8, 2009

Jeff’s knowledge of the project management curriculum is vast and his teaching style is personal. He can be very specific with advice on PMBOK and beyond. It’s those specific, real life examples that I find useful from instructors of all kinds. I’ve also found that the ability to arrive at creative solutions is essential and Jeff possesses that ability. I’ve done well as a practicing PMP following his instruction.

Jeff was my professor for the CompTIA CTT+ course. Jeff is an excellent educator who changed the way I thought about public speaking and teaching others. Within the short timeframe of three days, he helped me eliminate my weaknesses and completely change my mindset with regards to public speaking and organized education. Thanks again for your help Jeff. Hopefully one day I will be a student in another of your courses (perhaps PMP?).

Jeff is an extremely talented and driven individual. He truly has a mastery of the material that he instructs. He breaks complex material into digestible chunks. I recommend his classes to others with full confidence that they will receive the best training available.

Jeff is an enthusiastic and personable instructor. His high level of experience teaching was very valuable in helping to refine our presentation skills. He is always willing to provide helpful tips and advice as well. I would definitely recommend him for any sort of instructional or training position.

Jeff is a very approachable and talented educator. He creates an atmosphere of collaboration among the members of his classes and encourages people to enjoy the learning process in their own individual way. He is very generous with valuable, constructive feedback. Jeff truly enjoys sharing information with people.

Jeff Furman is a natural-born educator. His explanations are clear and well delivered, and his comments and criticisms during one-on-one coaching are spot on and well received. His course (Presentation Skills toward the CTT+/MCT) is the best I’ve ever had, in value per dollar, positive classroom experience, and the quality of the content.

As a student of Jeff Furman, I attribute his session on formulas and study tips for the PMP exam as a strong factor in my successful achievement of PMP Certification. Jeff presented my study group with clear explanations of formulas and concepts and clever suggestions on remembering and applying them during the exam. His coaching helped me to conquer my nerves and remain comfortable in answering all the mathematical questions.

Jeff Furman was my instructor for a PMP prep course my company sponsored earlier this summer. The weeklong class gave me the tools to take and pass the PMP exam on the first try just one month after finishing the class. I highly recommend Mr. Furman. He is a great resource that I will surely use again.

I attained PMP certification after attending Jeff Furman’s training course on preparation for the PMP exam. It was a well orgainzed and a well taught course. The course materials provided covered all the relevant PMP exam syllabus and were easy to comprehend. Jeff’s style of teaching made it easy for us to understand the essential Project management concepts both for the exam, as well as for their real life application. I would highly recommend Jeff Furman’s classes for anybody who is considering taking the PMP certification exam.

I have the pleasure to make this recommendation for Jeff Furman. Although, I had know Jeff for a very short time, he was willing to reach out to our PMI group to lecture on “Cost Management” based on PMBOK. Jeff demonstrated great interest and care for what he was going to present both before and after his session. He had follow-through with answers about the overall PMI project management methodology and demonstrated that he understands and can deliver any area within the project management discipline. Thanks Jeff.

Jeff takes his profession very seriously – while maintaining a personable attitude. He is an engaging communicator and solicits participation from all the people in the room. He has a wealth of real-life project management experience that he uses to illustrate key elements of the training program. He stayed at least one hour every evening to work extra with those who had missed a portion of the class during the day. After attending his class, I only spent an additional 10 hours at home and then passed the PMP exam on my first attempt. His teaching techniques gave me a tremendous amount of value – both in terms of knowledge and saved time.

Jeff taught our PMP class. He genuinely cared about each and everyone of us. As a teacher, he never tired of answering our questions over and over until we were satisfied with the answer. He freely gave of his time to help us; coming in early, working through lunch and staying late to give us one-on-one extra help. Even after the course finshed, he was available to us via email. I would definitely want Jeff to be my teacher in any further management classes I might take, and I look forward to reading his informative articles on project management. His teaching awards were certainly well deserved.

Whether it’s technology project management or skills training, Jeff brings expertise and enthusiasm to the table. Ask him a question… you’ll get your answer plus an additional seventeen possibilities you never even considered. His strong communication and interpersonal skills enable him to work effectively across both business and technology arenas. His passion for excellence and efficiency makes him a natural leader. He’s a dedicated problem-solver who doesn’t rest until he finds an answer.

Jeff Furman is an outstanding senior technical and project manager. He is also an excellent trainer. He has been very effective with anything that he works on. Jeff is patient and instrumental when he coaches his team and colleagues. He is an asset to any company that he works with.
