Introduction

Our PMP^® Project Management Professional Exam Prep Boot Camp course will effectively prepare students to earn the PMP^® certification from Project Management Institute^® (PMI^®). The objective of the course is to provide the students with the knowledge, tips and tricks necessary to fully understand Project Management and pass the PMP certification exam. The prestige of PMI® and the rigor to obtain the PMP certification gives those who achieve it a competitive advantage and the ability to provide unique value to the organizations who employ them. In addition, being certified as a PMP demonstrates an understanding of the knowledge and practices detailed in the PMBOK^® Guide.

PMI’s “2020 Project Management Professional (PMP) Examination Content Outline” explains that the reality of our profession as Project Managers has significantly changed since the exam was last updated. The work of today’s project management practitioners is done in a wide variety of project environments and requires the use of many different project’s approaches.

To face this reality, PMI has incorporated various management approaches into the PMP certification, all necessary and focused on delivering value. In their words, this change means that about half of the exam will represent a predictive project management approach and the other half will represent an agile or hybrid approach.

Thanks to our methodological approach to certification-oriented learning, which combines classroom training with practical exam preparation exercises, our students can prepare the certification exam with full guarantee of success.

By attending this course, students will be prepared to take the PMP certification exam.
