PMP Certification Project Management Training

Those having 3+ years experience in leading or directing projects are eligible. The certification is valued across the world, especially in IT, engineering, infrastructure, constructon and process industry.

Here are a few key points about PMP for your initial understanding. Details can be read via additional links provided in the Useful Links tab below

•  The PMP certification exam costs INR 39000 / $544 ($139 membership plus $405 exam fee). This is in addition to the training cost. This exam fee has to be paid before you schedule your exam. If you dont take the membership it will cost $555. You can pay this amount via credit card in local currency.

•  The PMP exam has 180 questions to be answered in slightly under 4 hours. All questions are situational in nature. Most questions are objective, while there are some that are match the following, fill in the blanks and video/image based questions. There are no negative marks.

•  Though passing marks are not declared, you need to get around 75% in the practice exams shared, to have confidence to pass the exam. Generally 140 hours is needed for preparation after the training, but can vary based on experience and grasping speed

•  The 4 day training (9-6) covers all topics you need to know from an exam perspective and to run projects in your organization. Enough material will be given for preparation, as well as guidance on how to study.

•  There is no expiry date of the training - you can give the exam immediately or years later, but it should be within a year of submitting your exam application form.

•  Being PMP Certified increases career growth opportunities if you want to align with the managerial track. It also helps you do your projects faster, more confidently and enhance project results

•  If you dont have sufficient experience (3 years), ou can go for CAPM Certification from PMI. The training is the same, the book and study is the same as PMP, but the exam is much simpler and 40% lesser cost than PMP. This certification enables you to assist project managers as a PMO Analyst or Assistant to the Project Manager, typically.

•  You can give the exam from home as well (closed book, no kind of external help). This will need a webcam and PMI (via Pearson On Vue) will confirm if you are all set. You will get a break midway through the exam.

Methodology:

Live Project Case Study: The trainer will use a special case study approach to relate the project management concepts with the real world.

The participants will first be provided with the project background, to enable them to have sufficient context. Participants will then be able to analyze and interpret the case study in the context of the PMP topics

Day 1 & 2: 

• The trainer's first objective is to establish a strong foundation on project management, for you. During this period, you will be able to relate with and understand all the key concepts of project management, across all the knowledge areas and process groups. This includes important documents, theories, best practices and techniques for each area. Based on your experiences, you can discuss the ways in which you do certain project management activities, to figure out if this aligns with the PMP way. The best way to learn is by discussing your work examples.

Day 3 & 4: 

• The trainer will now revisit all the topics again, from a PMP syllabus perspective. The tasks of a project manager are taken in the sequence as given by PMI in the exam content outline, and includes tools, techniques and outputs as required for each step. Also the trainer covers typical PMP scenarios that you would face in the exam, and how to address such questions.

Day 4: 

• Once all the topics are done, the trainer gives an orientation to the topic of "Professional Responsibility", which every PMP (and PMP aspirant) needs to abide by. This is followed by a 2 hour mock exam, and finally the feedback on the answers, to understand the reason behind each answer. To conclude the trainer guides you on how to prepare for the exam, based on your scores in the mock, and your work profile.

After completing the 4 day program, you can take advantage of the power-packed booklet "Cracking the PMP", which provides you with a huge number of tips and tricks for passing the exam. You can also continue assessing your readiness at each stage, by taking the 3 additional mock exams provided in the kit.

Assurance For Passing the PMP Certification

If you don't pass - come back for a free class!

With GetCoached.in's training approach and content, it is likely that you will be successful in the PMP exam. However, in case you are not able to pass the exam, you can come back and attend the training, without paying any additional fees. Here is how it works:

• The offer is applicable for individuals that had attended the 4 day PMP classroom training from GetCoached.in

• The participant will be eligible for the offer if he/she took the PMP exam within 4 months of the training end date, and has discussed with the trainer prior to scheduling the training. Note that the longer you delay, the more difficult it gets.

• The participant will need to reuse the training content provided in the first training program.

• The participant will be accomodated in the next available batch.

• The participant will need to provide the results of the PMI PMP exam, so as to guide him/her better.

• The participant will be eligible for this offer only once.

The reason GetCoached.in does not do a 100% guarantee is because it is not ethically correct, or practically possible for anyone to guarantee this.

Some institutes that mention a guarantee, are only assuring that in 100% cases, you will get your training fee back. No one has any influence on the assessment system or result, to be able to guarantee 100% will pass the exam.

Despite this, GetCoached.in ensures that a "go ahead" is given for the exam only to those that are ready from a preparation perspective, as assessed by the trainer.
