UMass Amherst Bootcamps

I signed up for the six sigma course. This course will not be helpful unless you're currently working in the space and understand the concepts. Their approach doesn't connect the dots to different concepts and real-life scenarios. I had to watch over 100 hours of youtube videos to understand concepts and formulas.  When I raised concerns about their approach and asked for my money back or a resolution, they required four different calls from me asking for feedback to tell me that they would not refund my money ultimately. When I purchased the six sigma course, they included the PMP certification. However, when I received notice that my class was starting- I had no access to the dashboard. When I inquired, they told me they had no record that this was included. I've spent over 3 hours trying to resolve this on the phone and sent over nine emails that they can't seem to find. RUN! Pay the extra money elsewhere. For the time and headache Simplilearn has cost me, a university course would have saved me money in the long run.  Read less

Teaching content is good, covered most of the contents in the class.
Examples provided in the class are great.  
Instructor (Anita Stalin) is very knowledgeable and experienced. 

The duration of the course needs to be longer. Not enough sessions to cover the course contents. 
More projects need to be taken "in the class sessions". There should be more gap between the courses (at least 3 to 4 weeks between lean, six sigma green belt and six sigma black belt courses) to take advantage of this program. 
There should be more consistent method to share the class documents with students. Accessing and sharing documents from "community portal" or Google drive is not very clear throughout the course.
Overall, it's a very good course, great instructor.  Read less

I am ecstatic to share one of my biggest joys: I am now a PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM). When I signed up for this with PMI, I was a little worried about whether or not I'd be able to pass. My family had been my constant support at the time, giving me all the time I needed to prepare for the exam. I'd also like to express my gratitude to UMass for their extensive Post Graduate Program in Project Management, which greatly aided me in attaining this personal goal. Read less

Digital Transformation is no more a manner of adding value to a business; it is now the essential core powerhouse of any company that wants to truly flourish, meet, and maintain in this changing market of dynamic client demands. Completing my UMass Post Graduate Program in Design Thinking & Innovation was a little victory in my journey! Read less

Comfort zones yield nothing. At the very least, having committed time and attended innumerable live sessions and self-learning sessions on Digital Disruption, Digital Strategy & Leadership, Marketing for the Digital Age, Agile Methodology, Product Development & Design Thinking. This is still valid... A big thank you to UMass bootcamps for creating a curriculum that pushed me out of my comfort zone while still making studying enjoyable! Read less

FINALLY! I am thrilled to inform that I have completed my Post Graduate Program in Design Thinking and Innovation at the University of Massachusetts. It was a fantastic learning opportunity that honed my talents and broadened my thinking. What I discovered is that digital transformation is no longer a strategic "yes or no" choice. In business, it is critical to stay competitive and profitable. Internal efficiency, product innovation, and providing the greatest customer experience all require automation and technology. This eye-opening bootcamp has been quite beneficial to me! Read less
