Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Preparation
If you enjoy the prestige that comes from being the best in your field, then you’ll appreciate the professional advantages derived from attaining the PMP® designation, the profession’s most globally recognized and respected certification credential. The PMP® designation following your name tells current and potential employers and clients that you have a solid understanding of PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge and a commitment to excellence in the profession.
To be eligible for the PMP® certification, you must first meet specific education and experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. PMI's education requirements will be fulfilled by successfully completing the UMBC course, but the experience requirements are extensive, and can be referenced more specifically at www.pmi.org. The final step in becoming a PMP® is passing a multiple-choice examination (exam fee not included in course tuition) designed to objectively assess and measure your project management knowledge. This computer-based examination is administered globally through Authorized Prometric Test Centers.
PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification is the preeminent professional credential for individuals associated with project management. This course provides students with the training, the materials and the support to prepare for the challenging PMP® examination. Completion of this course qualifies as the formal education requirement to sit for the PMP examination. Course materials included in the tuition price for this class are Rita Mulcahy’s PMP Exam Prep, The Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification student materials and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide).
