PMP Preparation / PMI Certification

 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 examination 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 computer-based examination is administered globally by Prometric.

This 5-day course is designed to assist delegates to prepare for and take the PMP® Examination. The course is normally delivered through a block of 5 days during which delegates can begin or continue the accreditation application.

This is an on-line process and takes place outside course hours. After the 5th day delegates can complete – and if ready - submit
