PJMN080 - Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam Preparation
Course Description
This program provides participants with practical guidance in how projects are actually managed as well as explaining how these practical processes align with the latest Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)®. Participants will prepare to successfully take the PMP® or CAPM® examination, attain their professional certification and put this knowledge to work in managing real projects. PMP and CAPM are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
Course Outline
This course will provide you with the essential knowledge and testing skills to prepare you to pass the PMP® exam.
The course focuses on three critical areas:
-
Understanding the PMBOK®
-
Understanding the Project Management Professional Examination Specification
-
Understanding how to successfully study for the exam
The course content covers the PMBOK®, but also covers other knowledge that is identified as testable matters from the exam specification. Much of this information comes from international leading experts specializing in Project Management (i.e., Verzuh, Crow, Christenson, etc.). This course includes a variety of learning tools and study aids that are consistent with PMI® processes and terminology.
This course promotes understanding over memorization. Some memorization is highly recommended to adequately prepare for the exam but is limited to the essential information that is required for the exam and nothing more.
This course also coaches participants in effective test taking techniques in order that participants can make the best use of their testing time and not give up marks needlessly because of the test structure or format.
