This course is specifically designed to assist students in preparing for the Project Management Professional® exam, given by PMI®. This five-day course allows the student focused time to learn and to review the concepts and terms necessary to pass the PMP® exam. Included with the class are tips, tricks, and targeted materials that will assist the student in reviewing for and passing the exam. A complete PMP® exam simulation at the end of the course helps students determine if they are ready to take the official exam, and gives them insight into specific areas they will need to study in order to succeed.
This course will also prepare students for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) exam, which requires fewer hours of experience

Methodology
For the delivery of this course, we will use the PMP® Exam Prep book as a guide. We work through the
material together as a class using different modalities to help relate PMI® terminology and concepts
with students’ real world experience. We use repetition, and strategic exercises that will provide you
with structured study materials that allow you to review and retain the information for use on the exam.
The first four days cover the basic PM material. The fifth day will cover any remaining material, and then
go through a review session. In the afternoon, we simulate the PMP ® Exam, which will give students a
good understanding of what they need to continue to study before the actual exam.
