Real Stories.Real Success.

“This was by far the most valuable training experience I have participated in. Mr. Stephen Mercer is an outstanding instructor whose extensive expertise in project management was evident throughout the course. His professionalism, punctuality, and willingness to answer every question, including unconventional and challenging ones, created an engaging and supportive learning environment.

What I appreciated most was his ability to connect theory with real-world experience by sharing practical insights and proven techniques. These examples helped reinforce key concepts and significantly increased my confidence as I prepare for the PMP certification exam. I intend to revisit the course materials, notes, and resources provided by Mr. Mercer and Gold Standard Certifications to further strengthen my preparation.

I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Ron Joseph for his exceptional support in making this training opportunity available to me and for securing my registration at an excellent rate. His efforts were greatly appreciated and contributed to a very positive overall experience.”

“Very comprehensive training with very detailed presentation and real life scenarios. Stephen Mercer was a great instructor, very prompt, courteous, and kept us moving right along with the training materials. Highly recommend.”

Gold Standard Certifications is all its name implies.

“I just passed my PMP exam, and it is thanks to Gold Standard Certifications for multiple reasons. First, they reached out, knowing that the standard 4-day PMP training is expensive, and, as a non-profit, they were about to offer a solution for those of us who are not yet earning 6-figure salaries. Their reduced rate was incredibly affordable. However, what you pay for is far from what you get in this instance. After taking the 4-day course, which ended with a family emergency just one hour before we finished the final day, they allowed me to watch the last hour of that day’s session from the recording. I anticipated that was where the support would end, but I couldn’t be more pleased to admit that ‘I was wrong.’ There was so much follow-up, follow-through, encouragement, and assistance post-course that I truly felt supported the whole way through. Gold Standard provides you with study materials, practice tests, and coaches who keep encouraging you to take the PMP and ask if you need any additional support. Then, after I passed the PMP, they reached out to congratulate me. Who does that? I was so blown away by this team, their heart to help people pass the PMP, and positive attitude, professionalism, and their general goodwill across the board. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in getting their feet wet with the PMP course.”

“This 4-day PMP prep course exceeded my expectations. The instructor, Mr. Mercer was incredibly knowledgeable and did a fantastic job breaking down complex project management concepts into digestible, real-world examples. There is a significant amount of material to absorb in a short time. I highly recommend this course to anyone serious about earning their PMP certification.”

“I really liked and enjoyed the training, the class offered tons of learning materials, guides, practice tests, templates, etc., a very detailed Power Point presentation to define the content, and much more! Be prepared to absorb a lot, since there is a lot of content to be covered in 4 days (I took the 4 days / 2 weekends course).

Professor Stephen Mercer is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable with a lot of stories and examples to tell, very engaging, and highly motivating.

I am looking forward to studying with the material provided and preparing to take the PMP exam.”

Comprehensive Training Mirroring an ASQ Format.

“The LSS Green Belt/Black Belt combined course was extremely comprehensive and challenging. While many private-certification companies of LSS do not incorporate statistical application, this one does quite a bit. You will be prepared at the level of an ASQ certification if you take the coursework seriously. Highly recommend.”

Stephen is the coach we all need but don’t deserve.

“Time flies and highly productive with Stephen! To learn this level of processes and math the right coach/teacher is crucial. Took the PMP with Stephen, GSC also. Big fan. This was all I hoped it would be and more. Thank you.”

6 Sigma Green & Black Belts Course.

“This was the second course I took with Gold Standard Certifications LLC and it went seamlessly. The delivery, the communication as well as the resources were all handled very well. This was also the second course I took with Stephen Mercer and I was impressed once again. He is knowledgeable, attentive and respectful and most importantly, he knows how to easily transfer the knowledge.”

“LSSGB/BB Class was great! Stephen Mercer kept it interesting by bringing in a lot of fun facts and relatable examples. He has a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoyed this class and its contents!”

“Great amount of information that I was already using, a lot of tools available for future references.”
