PMP Preparation / PMI Certification

Course details

The Project Management Institute (PMI) sponsors a project management accreditation programme. The purpose and goal of this programme is the development, maintenance, evaluation, promotion and administration of a rigorous professional certification credential of the highest calibre. It is called the Project Management Professional (PMP®).

To be eligible for the PMP® Credential delegates must first meet general educational, specific project management educational and project management experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct.

The final step to becoming a PMP® is passing a multiple-choice examination1 designed to objectively assess and measure an individual’s ability to apply project management knowledge in the following five domains: initiating the project, planning the project, executing the project, monitoring and controlling the project, closing the project. This computerbased examination is administered globally by Prometric.

The course is designed to assist delegates to prepare for and take the PMP® Examination. The course is normally delivered through a block of during which the delegates can begin or continue the accreditation application. This is an on-line process and takes place outside course hours. After the 4th day delegates can complete – and if ready - submit their application. Once the application is accepted the examination can then be scheduled on-line through Prometric..
