PMPÒ Exam Preparation

 

 

 

More and more organisations are turning to the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK™) and Project Management Professional (PMP®) as source and evidence of project management excellence.

 

Very few project managers can walk into the PMP Certification Exam and pass it without considerable preparation…

 

This programme is designed to assist you in mastering the contents of the PMBOK™ Guide and understand how it fits into PMI® terminology and context, and prepare you for the PMP® Certification Exam.

 

This programme summarises the contents of all the recommended test preparation within the context of the PMBOK™ Guide and addresses all topics covered in the PMP® Certification Exam. You will have multiple opportunities to test the application of your knowledge through sample questions.

 

Upon completing this programme, you will be ready to sit for the PMP® Certification Exam. The PMP® Certification Exam is administered by PMI® at numerous locations internationally.

You will have access to the training facilitator in an electronic support group and MIM web community designed for mutual benefit and further networking amongst the PMP® certified and candidates.

This unique combination developed at MIM is based on addressing the needs of PMP® Exam candidates as busy project professionals who are studying part-time.
