What PreparationInfo does

PreparationInfo, operated by Hoxbridge PreparationInfo Private Limited, is a private professional certification training company founded in 2014 and headquartered in New Delhi, India, with a US regional office in Middletown, Delaware. The company delivers instructor-led and self-paced training for globally recognized credentials, anchored on PMP certification under an authorized partnership with the Project Management Institute (PMI), and extended to Lean Six Sigma (ILSSQMA-accredited), Microsoft Power BI, financial modeling, Excel, MS Project, CAPM, PMI-ACP, PMI-PBA, and CISA. Training is delivered through three channels: live virtual sessions via GoToMeeting and Zoom (8 Saturdays × 4 hours each), in-person 2-day classroom bootcamps held at hotel venues in Dar es Salaam (Hotel Holiday Inn), Nairobi (Hotel Nairobi Safari Club), Lagos (Hotel IBIS Airport Road), and Kampala (Hotel Fairway Kampala), and self-enrolled online courses. The platform is built on commodity infrastructure (GoDaddy-hosted site, payment gateways including PayPal, Stripe, CCAvenue, 2CheckOut, and RazorPay, Pearson VUE for exam scheduling, Google reCAPTCHA on forms) with no proprietary technology stack disclosed.

The business model combines one-time course purchases (PMP at $299 virtual / $399 classroom, with Lean Six Sigma and other certifications priced similarly), a tiered recurring membership structure (Basic $19/month, Pro $49/month, Premium $99/month, with 15% annual billing discounts and a $2,499 lifetime option), specialized certification memberships ($299 for 3 months / $499 for 6 months), team and corporate training packages (up to 5 members at $349/month or $3,500/year; up to 10 members at $649/month or $6,500/year), and free consultation calls plus free downloadable study resources used as lead-generation. The primary customer segment is experienced project managers pursuing PMP for the 20-25% salary premium associated with certification, with secondary segments in quality/process improvement, finance and business analytics, and corporate teams. Go-to-market is sales-led with community-driven referral via alumni testimonials, supplemented by free consultation calls via WhatsApp and phone (US and India numbers), SEO-optimized content marketing, and event-driven classroom bootcamps in African markets. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or external investor, and operates with 51-100 employees.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Project Management Institute (PMI): The credentialing body that issues PMP and licenses ATP partners. Functions as both an enabler (accreditation) and a potential competitor if it expands direct training offerings or ATP requirements.
• Udemy: Mass-market online course marketplace with abundant low-cost PMP, Six Sigma, and Excel/BI courses. Comparable on subject matter and target learner, but competes heavily on price as a substitute for paid cohort training.
• LinkedIn Learning: Enterprise-skewed subscription video library covering project management, Excel, Power BI, and Six Sigma topics. Comparable as a substitute destination for self-directed learners and corporate L&D buyers.
• Coursera: Major online learning marketplace hosting PMP prep content from universities and accredited providers. Comparable as a competing destination for PMP candidates, though its model is marketplace rather than instructor-led cohort.

Direct peers

• GreyCampus: PMI ATP focused on PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, and Six Sigma, with both live virtual and classroom training and a similar mid-priced positioning. Closely comparable on catalog mix and target customer (working professionals pursuing PMI credentials).
• Invensis Learning: PMI ATP and IIBA partner offering PMP, Six Sigma, Agile, and business analysis certification training. Closely comparable on PMP/six-sigma focus and B2B + B2C mix.
• Sprintzeal: PMI ATP delivering PMP, CAPM, Six Sigma, and ITIL training globally with classroom and virtual cohorts. Direct comparable on PMP prep positioning, corporate training tier, and global reach.
• Simplilearn: One of the largest global PMI Authorized Training Partners, offering PMP, Agile, Lean Six Sigma, and a broad professional certification portfolio to individual and corporate learners. Most directly comparable to PreparationInfo on PMP delivery model and audience.
• KnowledgeHut: PMI Authorized Training Partner offering PMP, Agile, Scrum, and DevOps certifications via live virtual and classroom bootcamps. Comparable on delivery format (instructor-led cohorts) and target mid-career professionals.

Emerging players

• Edureka: Instructor-led live virtual training platform covering PMP, data analytics, cloud, and BI. Partial overlap with PreparationInfo's PMP and Power BI offerings, but with a broader tech-skewing catalog.
