<p>With over a million Project Management Professionals worldwide, the Project Management Institute’s certification program is now a standard across all industries. Becoming a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® involves meeting certain education and experience requirements, and passing a 180-question exam. (<a href="https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/project-management-professional-handbook.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PMP Certification Handbook</a> from PMI.)</p>
<p></p>
<p>The key to passing the exam is to understand the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) view of project management.&nbsp; This means reviewing and understanding PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (<i>PMBOK® Guide</i>) and the PMI Agile Practice Guide, but also becoming familiar with how PMI expects project managers to apply that knowledge.&nbsp; In most cases, this requires PMP-candidates to become familiar with new concepts during their PMP exam preparation, and/or to “unlearn” practices that they have picked up over the years.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This course provides a solid PMP prep foundation – we present and explain all the concepts you need to know.&nbsp; While other PMP training courses focus on last-minute cramming to prepare you for the exam, we assume you actually want to learn something from your PMP education.&nbsp; No pre-reading is required before taking our course, but you should be prepared to study the materials we provide – it’s a closed book exam.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Who should take this PMP Certification Prep course?</h2>
<p></p>
<p><i>Course participants should be familiar with the certification process, and meet the PMP experience requirements prior to attending.&nbsp; You should also be reasonably familiar with modern project management techniques, as advocated by PMI, and be planning on sitting for the exam within a couple of months of completing this course.</i></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Where is this course offered?</h2>
<p></p>
<p>The course is offered on an open-enrollment basis at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-bellevue/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bellevue/Kirkland</a>, WA, (which also serves <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-seattle/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Seattle</a>, <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-olympia/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Olympia</a>, Redmond, Renton, Everett, and Tacoma), as well as at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-tucson/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tucson</a>, AZ (which also serves the Greater <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-phoenix/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Phoenix</a> area, Oro Valley, and Sierra Vista / Fort Huachuca), and other select locations such as <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/grand-cayman-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Grand Cayman</a>.&nbsp; We also provide it on an on-site basis anywhere in the world, and <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-online/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">online</a> using live instructors.</p>
