Can I qualify for the exam by studying on my own?
Unfortunately, no. The PMP® Exam Content Outline stipulates that the 35 hours of educational contact may not be done through individual study. Asynchronous courses do not qualify unless there is a learning assessment administered at the end of the course. Live online or in person courses on project management will meet the exam application requirement.
Does your PMP® Exam Prep course satisfy the exam requirements?
Yes! All applicants to the PMP® exam must meet the eligibility requirements and gain 35 hours of project management educational contact before applying. Attending our PMP® Exam Prep course will satisfy this requirement.
What will I learn in your PMP® Exam Prep Course?
The PMP® Exam Prep Course covers the content outlined in the PMP® Exam Content Outline. There are many concepts and tools covered in the course that may be helpful to apply in your project work. We are always excited when students find good tools that serve them well outside the exam room.
