TOPIC HIGHLIGHTS
This four day course is a hands-on tutorial that prepares participants to
sit for the PMP® Certification Examination. The instruction approach includes lecture, case studies and
class exercises. Extensive use of case studies and in-class exercises provide for active student involvement
in practical use of course content. Prior to taking this course, participants are encouraged to either take
the course Essentials of Project Management or acquire equivalent knowledge.
The nine PMBOK® areas of knowledge are addressed as separate modules. Presentations highlight the most significant aspects of each module. Participants individually answer a series of questions from our database. After each of these individual working sessions, the entire class reviews each question. In this manner, both the content and format of examination questions become familiar to each student. From the results of proceeding on a module-by-module basis, participants will be able to identify weak areas that require more individual study. The last session is a mini examination mimicking the PMP® Certification Examination. This course covers these nine knowledge areas identified in the PMBOK®:
- Project Integration Management
- Project Scope Management
- Project Time Management
- Project Cost Management
- Project Quality Management
- Project Human Resource Management
- Project Communications Management
- Project Risk Management
- Project Procurement Management
