PMP® - Project Management Professional

PMP certification, established by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), is one of the most valued and respected credentials in project management. Earning and maintaining this PMI project management certification demonstrates a solid foundation of experience and competency in effectively managing projects and project teams.

Preparing for the PMP Exam

To help you prepare for your PMP certification exam, we offer two PMP training courses: PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp and Guided PMP Exam Prep. The courses are structured differently, so you can choose the one that works for your learning style and schedule. In both courses, you'll gain the essential preparation needed to pass the PMP and CAPM® exams, and each course comes with our money-back guarantee.

Our PMP exam- preparation courses incorporate the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and other sources, use PMI® terminology, and include learning tools, such as:

• PMBOK^® Guide -- Fourth Edition or Fifth Edition
• More than 600 practice questions
• PMP exam prep study guides
• Flash cards for each knowledge area
• Exercises throughout the course to reinforce PMP and CAPM exam concepts
• Handy reference charts
• Audio CD of key concepts
• Online practice questions and test simulation
  

The PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp is an intensive course conducted in a fast-paced environment and completed in several days. The Guided PMP Exam Prep course is less intensive, combines self-paced study with live virtual training sessions, and takes several weeks to complete.

Choose the PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp if you: Prefer to learn in a traditional classroom setting Can take a few days away from your office to dedicate to class Need to achieve your PMP certification quickly

Choose the Guided Exam Prep if you: Prefer to study at your own pace but still want occasional, mentored interaction to keep you on track Cannot dedicate several days in a row for class and prefer to work around your personal schedule Have at least three months before you need to achieve your PMP certification

If you already have your PMP:

Your PMP credential is good for the three years. To maintain your PMP credential, PMI requires 60 PDUs during each three-year renewal period.

With our PMP Renewal Program, you'll get unlimited access for one year to targeted, virtual courses on project management topics in all PMBOK® Guide knowledge areas. This program allows you to earn the PDUs necessary to renew your PMP certification status, and you'll earn them on your schedule, from the comfort of your own desk, by choosing the courses you want, whenever and wherever you want. In addition to the conveniently scheduled live courses, you'll have access to any of the previously recorded courses.
