2 WHAT THIS COURSE IS ALL ABOUT Our Comprehensive Project Management with PMP Preparation course explores project management knowledge, tools, and techniques for successful on-the-job application. It is ideal for any student looking to fully understand and develop the core competency known by Project Management Professionals, and for those preparing for certification in project management. Participants learn how to decipher and use globally accepted best practices in the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) for project success. We will help you pass the exam on the first try! Our success rate is 99%. This highly interactive workshop is facilitated by a PMP certified instructor, and includes numerous opportunities for skill mastery. We limit the number of participants to 15, so everyone has the opportunity to apply new knowledge and tools to their own real-life projects during the classroom experience. Learning in an interactive classroom, where we encourage students to ask questions, is far more effective and successful than studying on your own. Do you want to pass the Certified Associate Project Management (CAPM ) and/or the Project Management Professional (PMP ) Certification Exam? It seems like a simple question, and other reference materials will help you. However, learning in an interactive classroom, where we encourage students to ask questions, is far more effective and successful than studying on your own. With example problems and solutions presented by a subject matter expert in each discipline, this course prepares students for Project Management Institute s (PMI ) certifications. WHERE THE VALUE IS IN THIS COURSE As well as providing additional problem and solution practice, we supply a committed setting for developing professional relationships with other highly qualified students, which in-turn creates study groups for even further comprehension. Overall, our students establish a deeper understanding of the type of questions presented on the exams. We teach our students how to apply extremely valuable knowledge, concepts, plus tools and techniques for passing the exams. Instant Purposefulness: Result-oriented approach for successful project management Duplicable processes for consistent success Practical tools for immediate on-the-job application Confidence to implement project management best practices Effective management of people, scope, deadlines, and budget Immediate Benefits: Twenty-Eight (28) applicable units for PMP and CAPM certification Increased Return on Investment (ROI) Mitigation of risks to success More cohesive and cooperative project team Achievement of project goals and deadlines Measurable success Em: [email protected], Ph: , Web: 2

I liked the overall pace of the course and getting to work in groups on real projects, we were doing. This class met my objectives and requirements. Creating the Project Management Plan, plus practicing each knowledge area and tools was very helpful. The course presentation was very good, and the team projects were great. Very interactive; I felt safe to ask questions and work as a team. The interactive class format, regarding instruction, was the best part of the course.
