Attending Narciss' training courses is an experience one won't find somewhere else that often: energetic, intense, no boredom, total participation and above all an excellent mixture between well explained theory and real life practice examples. It keeps you pretty much on your toes basically. There is no question you may bring out of your bag that won't find its answer and no uncertainty that can't be clarified and anchored in a well-structured context. He is known to have this effect on people, that he can transfer high amounts of knowledge and energy. Hence my piece of advice to those who attend his PMP prep courses: you may get the feeling that you're ready to sit the PMP exam the next day; but that's just because you've attended Narciss' classes - actually you do still have to study/recap a little. Just a little.

Narciss' course was recommended to me as the best PMP prep course available on the market. I attended his course and was not at all dissapointed. He managed to present a roughly "arid" methodology in an interesting and attractive way. I would describe his course as: interactive, captivating, explanatory and full with examples. He emphasised the importance of questions even after the course was finished and always tried to explain the tricky concepts or questions until. Moreover I appreciated his help with final details while prepairing the application for the actual exam. I would highly recommend Narciss for his method of presenting project management topics, for his pleasant personality and involvement in his student's certification process.

I met Narciss during his PMP training course, which I took in order to prepaire myself for the PMP exam. I congratulate myself for the decision of working with Narciss, since he is a true professional: very committed, highly skilled, and most importantly knows how to explain things, thus making everything easier. Narciss also provided support after the course, and guided me through the learning process. With his help, I am now PMP certified. I am looking forward with working with Narciss again in the future..

Narciss was my trainer for the "contact hours" required for PMI's PMP® certification. I can say that he truly masters both the PMBOK® concepts and the art of training. I have stayed in contact with him after the training, because of his likeable nature and personal integrity. I strongly and warmly recommend Narciss as a PM expert and a trainer for becoming PMP® certified, in particular.

Narciss is great trainer, with a lot of experience and some nice personal touches. After taking the PMP exam, I can say that the training was very well planned: good timing, focused on all essential subjects, extremely comprehensive and fun, too. I just had to review the training materials and add a little study and there I was, ready for the exam. Already recommended him to a few of my colleagues, it's probably the best choice to get the PMP certification in Romania (Bucharest).

I met Narciss as a co-worker a while back and got to know and respect him for his impecable work ethics, soft skills and experience. Having him also as a trainer for PMP certification was a great opportunity to grasp some of the tricks of the trade that he masters so well in his professional life. It is very seldom that a trainer manages to mix so well the theoretical knowledge with actual advice and hints from his professional experience. From this precise mix, the training course that Narciss is delivering helped me to obtain the PMP certification but also to grow as a professional.

Searching the internet for project management classes I found PM Access and I decided that among other options this one was the best. So next thing I did I enrolled in the class called TARGET: PMP® CERTIFICATION. Here I discovered one of my best teachers, Narciss Popescu. His teaching method is quite unique. He has a relaxed approach but highly professional in the same time. He managed to teach me all concepts described in PMBOK®. He coached me after the course indicating the steps to make for preparing to pass the PMP® exam. I highly recommend Narciss to all project managers who wish to obtain PMP® Certification

LEONARD ALEXANDRU, PMP
Senior QA Engineer, Luxoft
When I've took the PMP course, I discovered in Narciss a very open, skillful and nice trainer who helped me to really understand the encrypted and vast information from PMBOK. Before attending this training, I had already read the PMBOK at least once, but it was very hard to get the concepts. Narciss gave the structure and a lot of valuable tips for a clear understanding of the areas and processes. He helped me this way to successfully get the PMP certification at my first try. I appreciated very much my manager’s recommendation to take that course and my great luck to meet Narciss.

Though it is a complex area, Narciss helped us see the big picture and understand the logical relationships between the concepts.

It brings real value to people that want to certify themselves as PMP or to get better at managing projects.
GEORGE POPOVICI, PMP
Project Manager, Luxoft
If you are considering getting a PMI credential to further your career in Project Management, I strongly recommend Narciss. The material for PMP was presented clearly and concisely by Narciss and he carefully explained project management methodology and encouraged questions. He exhibited a sincere concern about the success of those attending the training. In the post-training environment, Narciss established a networking link so students could keep in touch, ask questions, and share their testing experience. He also made himself available for counsel and questions. Rarely do you expect this kind of cradle-to-grave commitment. Narciss is certainly an outstanding educator and a concerned, caring individual. He is a professional resource you do not want to miss experiencing.

BOGDAN POSTELNICU,, PMP
QA Team Lead/Coordinator, METRO Systems
I was expecting a boring standard training session. Instead, with Narciss I actually found out that you can learn and understand in a fun and easy way. Every methodology is a little "dry" but Narciss managed to show us an attractive perspective while solving a lot of the questions that we had. I strongly recommend Narciss as a PM expert and as a trainer.
CATALIN-TEODOR DOGARU, PMP
Forrmer President, PMI ROMANIA Chapter
I recommend Narciss as an expert in teaching and coaching project management. Because of the preparation course he held in 2008 I passed the PMP exam in 2009. The course was well prepared, with good training materials and held in a professional manner. I recommend Narciss as a good trainer.
COSTIN CHIRCULESCU, PMP
Presales and Technical Manager, TotalSoft
From the moment I decided to take the PMP Certification, everywhere I was asking, I kept barging into Narciss name, as the best trainer for the job. It was clear for me that "I have to have him"! And it wasn't so hard to understand, even from the first hour of training, why he is so much recommended. Despite the large amount of information that has to be covered you don’t even realize how quickly the time flees and how easily the information is assimilated due to his natural talent of teaching by practical examples and real stories. Not only that he has the talent but also he is completing his talent with hard work, when he is guiding step by step each and every one of his students using personified plans that are continuously adapted to the progress. What more could you ask from a trainer?! Ah, yes…another training course! And I’m the first enrolled to his next training(Negotiation)…can’t wait for it!
CRISTI ALECU, PMP
Project Manager, ZTE
I took the PMP course held by Narciss in June 2014 and I was impressed with the in depth explanations, practical examples and stories that supported the material. The experience was a true immersion into the PMP world and Narciss as a trainer made it very enjoyable despite the very large quantity of information. Moreover, after the course Narciss supported me during my exam preparation and through his guidance I was able to successfully obtain the PMP certification. Thank you!

DANIELA CUPSA, PMP
Program Manager, HP
I had Narciss as a trainer in 2 classes: “Negotiating Skills” and “PMP training”. In both of them I liked the following aspects: good training materials, very well organized courses, relevant information transmitted . I want to emphasize that the PMP training helped me a lot in gaining the PMP certification because of the well structured course and presented exercises. Narciss proved himself to be an experienced trainer; he was having examples from real life, making us understanding better the notions. Also he managed very well all the students in the classes, giving proper answers even to the most complicated questions. Narciss is a pleasant, experienced trainer, never looses his patience and sense of humor, knowing in deep the subjects presented.
CRISTINA NICULESCU, PMP
Program Manager ar Computaris
Taking the PMP certification exam is a challenge by itself but going from zero to a certified project manager in under 2 months some will say is crazy. With the help of Narciss and his express method I was able to focus down my efforts and pass the exam from the first trial with above average results in less than two months from the first day of the TARGET PMP® CERTIFICATION class. All materials were included and once started there was no escaping him.

I had took Narciss Popescu's PMP training course, because a friend of mine recommended it being the best PMP prep available on the market, and now I can say that he was right and this decision was the best I could make.

More than that, Narciss coached me after the training, guiding me, answering to my questions, helping me to understand the difficult topics and providing lots of hints how to learn and approach PMP exam. As a result I took the exam from the first try.
Thank you, Narciss.
CALIN PRODEA, PMP
Technical Project Manager at Eximprod Grup
I attended the Target PMP Certification in December 2016 and right after that, Narciss provided a very detailed learning plan and I started the assisted learning program with Narciss. It was not easy at all to make time and find spare moments to dedicate to studying and it took me exactly one year to get prepared to pass the exam, but Narciss was there for me all along the way, answering my questions and validating each and every practice tests I took. In the last 2 weeks before the exam, Narciss was a real coach, giving me precise instructions on what to study, how, when, how to rest, what to eat before the exam, and so on. And above all that, lots of positive energy and encouragement that helped me a lot, knowing that I am not alone in this adventure. Thank you, Narciss, I recommend you without hesitation to anyone attempting to pass this difficult exam!
