PMP ® Exam Prep

• PMP ® Exam Preparation - 4 days

PMP ® exam prep classes are not created equal. Versatile's PMP ® instructors help you understand the practical value of project management so you can pass the PMP exam and be a better project leader. 

The Project Management Professional (PMP ®) certification is increasingly recognized and required by employers. Attaining this certification requires applicants to pass an exam and to have relevant experience and education. This 4-day course is designed to provide both the required education (32 hours) and a solid preparation for the exam. The course package includes sample exams and a thorough test-preparation manual. All these exam preparation materials combine to provide applicants confidence they have the knowledge to successfully sit for the exam.

In addition, you will find that Versatile's project management training will equip you with many tools utilizable long after passing the PMP ® Exam.

Versatile has selected course materials that have been thoroughly reviewed by recent PMP ®’s to ensure the course content is relevant to the exam. Past students provide feedback on any exam topics that were or were not covered through our preparation process, ensuring these products continue to effectively prepare applicants for the exam. The course materials include over 1,000 sample test questions.

Project management training is vitally important for all team members to promote success on projects. Definition, planning, control, and leadership are all aspects emphasized and promoted through proven techniques in Versatile's courses.  Our classes present opportunities for students to get involved and practice each technique, so they can better apply the learning to their own unique projects.

This course emphasizes the concepts needed to pass the exam and to successfully manage projects. We don’t use memory games, we help people master the relevant content.

Experienced project managers or project personnel with previous project management training will benefit most from this course. While it is not a prerequisite to attend this course, participants should be aware that PMI requires 4000 hours project management experience to sit for the exam.

Candidates for the exam who have not attended previous project management training will benefit from attending Principles of Project Management.

At the end of this course, the student will be able to:

• Know what project management terms and concepts are necessary to pass the PMP ® Exam.
• Have a study plan to finalize their preparation for the exam.
• Know what to expect from the exam, including how to apply for the exam, where to take the exam, and rules for sitting for the exam.

Before attending this course, students must have project leadership experience.

All students receive:

1. A comprehensive workbook describing the key terms and concepts that also includes learning exercises to address multiple learning styles

2. A DVD with over 3500 sample exam questions

3. A copy of the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)

Attending a PMP Exam Preparation Class 

Project management training often includes preparing for the PMP Exam. While most of our course participants are more interested in developing skills than passing the PMP Exam, for those who wish to earn the PMP certification, they need a solid method for preparing for the exam. 

Attending a PMP Exam Prep Class is certainly one of the most popular strategies for passing this exam. Self-study is also a good option. In either approach, an essential element of preparation is to take practice exams. 

Versatile's PMP Exam Prep class prepares you to study for the exam by showing you what to expect and providing enough exam questions to give you a sense of confidence.
