The PMBOK® Guide - Fifth Edition serves as the official basis for the PMP® Certification Exam and provides a reference for anyone interested in project management discipline. The PMBOK® Guide offers a comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding project management discipline. PMBOK® Guide has become the framework by which many organizations develop their project management practices. The framework organizes project management activities into 10 knowledge areas, described in terms of component processes and five process groups.
The PMBOK® can appear overwhelming on first look. One methodology to study for the exam is to simply go over the knowledge areas and process groups by rote, memorizing facts that may or may not appear on the exam. We adopt a more complete and effective approach by focusing on the 5 process groups and the 10 knowledge areas, creating a complete picture of PMBOK® and those areas beyond the PMBOK® that are covered in the exam.
According to PMI® discipline, the PMP® eligibility criteria are divided into two categories.
- Category 1: candidate hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree and have at least 4,500 hours of project management experience within the five process groups. These candidates must also have at least 35 contact hours of project management education.
- Category 2: candidates possess a high school diploma but no other higher-level education degree. They must have accumulated at least 7,500 hours of project management experience within the five process groups and have completed at least 35 contact hours of project management education.
Maybe not. We recommend that you commit to applying for or setting an exam date in the near future prior to taking this course. The intense focus of study, along with the required overnight readings and self-study, makes this course best suited to those who are very serious about PMP® certification.
The exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, 175 are scorable questions and 25 questions, placed randomly, are "not scored" pretest items, which are used by PMI® to test the validity of future examination questions.
The exam is normally "computer based" and must be completed within 4 hours.
Once you pass the PMP® exam, will need to earn 60 PDUs per 3-year cycle. To learn more about the program, what are PDUs, how to earn and claim them, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to renew your certification, visit the Project Management Institute Website (www.pmi.org).
