Brain Sensei

As an online course innovator in helping our clients prepare for the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP)^® credential, Brain Sensei is the first and only PMI Registered Education Provider (REP) to use the story of a samurai in ancient Japan to teach project management concepts.

Aligned with our tradition of leading edge innovation, we are also the first training provider to include two important topics as part of our updated Complete PMP^® Exam Prep Course (PMBOK^® Guide Sixth Edition): Project Management for Sponsors and Stakeholders, and Agile Practice Guide.
