PMP® Exam Preparation

Imagine being recognized as a leader and a performer in your field. Think of what a difference it would make on your projects if management and your team trusted and follow your direction and suggestions because they knew your were trained in the PMI methodologies and could make those projects the highest quality while becoming efficient in schedule and time. To stand out as a project manager, the PMP Certification is the way to do it. The Project Management Institute explains that the PMP Credential is the most recognized project management certification globally. According to Global Knowledge certified PMPs make 15-30% more than non-certified project managers, so the effort is well worth it. There are some 35 hours of training and some project management experience requirements, but the toughest part of getting certified for most project managers is the PMP exam.

The PMP exam revolves around A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge: (Pmbok Guide) (Paperback) version 4. It is the PMI’s guide book to best practices in project management. However, the PMP exam tests knowledge and application of the best practices in the project management field. The PMBOK guide is dry and devoid of working examples and applications. I would suggest going through the PMBOK guide at least once before attempting the exam, but it needs some supplemental material.

Here are three really good supplemental texts. Select one of the following:

Do you own an iPod or an mp3 player? The very best training that I have found, that follows the PMBOK guide very well and is full of examples and application material is The PM-Prepcast.

You can get your PMP training the easy and entertaining way. It is the best value for a visiual-audio PMP exam training. You can spend hundreds, even thousands on online training that will not be as good as this training by Cornelius Fichtner.

Oh, and did I mention, that it fills the entire 35 contact training hours?

If you really want to pass the PMP exam, however, you are going to have to roll in some PMP Sample Questions.
