PREPARING FOR THE PMP® EXAM - 30 Hours Instruction

Whether you're novice or a seasoned professional exploring a career path in the fast-growing field of project management, you'll appreciate the breadth & depth of our 30-hour course designed to assist you in preparing for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification exam.

Course goals: (1) cover “PMI specific vocabulary” applied to PM concepts, (2) sensitize participants to their strengths & weaknesses (for further study as needed), and (3) analyze PMI-style thinking and three question approaches: knowledge, understanding, application, i.e. do you know it? – do you know when to use it? – do you know how to apply it in situations?

Brought to you by PMI Metrolina Chapter, Inc. of Project Management Institute (PMI), this course covers the basic information, concepts, and vocabulary applicable to the Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam.

Whether a new PM (your title fell out of the air and you want to know what it means) or seasoned as a PM over several years (without knowing the academic theory and proper names of the tools / techniques), participants can asses their own readiness or weak areas requiring more preparation for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam.
The course covers the five (5) Project Management Process Groups: Project Initiation, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Closing, plus Professional Responsibility. Additionally, the course reviews the nine (9) Project Management Knowledge Areas: Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, H.R., Communication, Risk and Procurement.

COURSE FORMAT

The course consists of lecture interspersed with questions & answers, focused on one knowledge area per session. The questions use the three formats of the exam: (1) knowledge based (you know it or you don't), (2) understanding (respond with the appropriate concept to a situation) and (3) application based scenarios (multiple questions based on a scenario that test one’s ability to distinguish between alternative approaches).

The course material explains both why the "right answer is the best" and why the other choices are wrong or weaker alternatives. Previous students tell us this approach prepared them for the actual exam. The course also includes individual attention responding to questions and examples from the "school of hard-knocks" stories by our screened and qualified PMP instructors.
