PMI® Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam Preparation

• The PMI®-issued Exam Content Outline (ECO) and course materials
• A voucher for PMI® Membership — which includes a free download of the current PMBOK® Guide and other PMI® standards, useful well beyond the exam
• A voucher for the PMP® exam
• A full PMP® exam prep question bank with detailed explanations
• 35 hours of project management education/training, satisfying the requirement to sit for the PMP® exam
• A Certificate of Completion
• Continuing education units toward relevant certifications

The PMP® course designed for project managers who already have some hands-on experience leading projects and are ready to formalize that experience with PMI’s top credential — either a four-year degree plus 36 months leading projects in the past 8 years, or a high school diploma/GED plus 60 months leading projects in the past 8 years, along with 35 hours of PM education (which this course provides).

It’s a strong fit for practicing PMs looking to unlock more senior roles, higher pay, and credibility with employers who list PMP® as a requirement, as well as anyone who’s managed projects informally (construction, IT rollouts, event planning, etc.) and wants a recognized certification to match that experience.

To sit for the PMP® exam, you’ll need to meet one of the following education and experience combinations:

Four-Year College/University Degree

36 months leading projects within the past 8 years, plus 35 hours of project management education/training or a CAPM® certification.

High School or Secondary School Diploma

60 months leading projects within the past 8 years, plus 35 hours of project management education/training or a CAPM® certification.
