Course Synopsis

Beyond academic credentials, certification by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) as a Project Management Professional (PMP®) shows the world that you have mastered essential project management competencies. To earn PMI®’s PMP® credential, you must demonstrate the required “long-term commitment” to project management professionalism and pass a 4-hour, 200-question exam, covering all nine areas of PMI®’s project management body of knowledge (PMBOK®) and the area of professional responsibility. Improve your chances of passing the gruelling PMP® certification exam on the first try with this unique course.

You will find out exactly what you need to know and how to prepare yourself to fulfill the requirements for each PMBOK® area. You will become familiar with the makeup and format of the exam itself by going to the Quizzes, which feature 360 multiple-choice questions and fully referenced answers. In addition, after you've finished the quizzes, you’ll be able to try a 200-question sample exam to put your new understanding to the test. You will get a chance to explore the rationale behind each answer with your instructor, a certified PMP®.

[Note: the online Quizzes and Practice Test presented in this course are the same as those in ESI's text, “PMP® Exam Practice Test and Study Guide”, 4th ed., by LeRoy Ward, PMP®]

Learn from the project management experts at ESI’s e-Training about how to make the most of your limited study time.
