Description
The corporate Project Management Professional (PMP) preparation class is an intensive and focused training program for professionals with at least 3 to 5 years experience* managing projects. In five intensive 7-h sessions, participants gain deep knowledge of project management, including practical skills in project management methods such as:
- Traditional methods
- “Waterfall”
- “Rolling wave”
- Agile methods
- Hybrid approaches, mixing the methods above
Companies that perform projects as contractors for paying customers benefit from making it easier to win new project business. The trainer will put special emphasis on this application of the knowledge learned.
The class concludes with a certificate of participation that helps candidates verify to PMI that they have completed “35 hours of education”, a prerequisite for exam eligibility. The examination is performed and billed separately by PMI.
We strongly recommend that students join PMI, the Project Management Institute, as a member at least for the year in which they work towards certification.
Successful candidates earn the PMP certificate from PMI, proving their ability to manage customer projects as true project professionals.
