Course Overview
This course is intended for candidates undertaking or wish to undertake the Project Management Professional (PMP)examination. The course follows the Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK) 4thEdition. This course is ideal to candidates planning to take the computer-based examination on the following week. The title PMP is an internationally accepted recognition of project management knowledge and professionalism of the successful candidate. Simply put, this is a professional certification of the candidate in the area of project management. Candidates may only apply to sit for the examination if they have obtained at least a university degree equivalent, a minimum of 4,500 hours project management experience within 36 months (non-overlapping) prior the application to sit for the examination, and at least 35 hours of Project Management education. Candidates who do not have a university degree may opt applying for the examination via increased demands on project management experience to 7,500 hours within 60 months (non-overlapping). The examination may be taken at Prometric computer test centre, at a pre-appointed date and time, at your choice venue; that is, when the application to sit for the examination is successful confirmed through an eligibility letter. The examination consists of 200 multiple-choice answers (1 out of 4 is the right answer), and to be completed within 4 hours. Typically the passing mark is 61%.
Objectives
At the end of this program participants will be able to achieve the following objectives:
- Demonstrate a solid understanding of project management fundamentals and concepts, project management process groups and knowledge areas
- Completed the minimum 35 hours of training as required by the Project Management Institute to sit for the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam
- Learn how the use of project management will benefit you in your personal and professional life
Methodology
The training uses practical exercises that take individuals outside their comfort zones. By giving the participants help and guidance during the pre-examination process, confidence and skills are strengthened. We make the sessions challenging and practical through the use of simulated test questions, flash cards to help accelerate memory retention and learning, and LMC s proprietary PMPQuikNotes® serving as a mindmap-of-important-points to aid in memory retention and reinforcing classroom materials after the program is completed. Also, by getting candidates to take on the role of setting examination questions would help them learn the process of examination setting and help build confidence. Moreover, this interaction makes classes enjoyable and motivational. Candidates would be provided with PMPQuikNotes®, which is like a mindmap containing all the important and essential facts, tips, and terminologies used in the PMP exam to help accelerate knowledge retention. The Facilitator will take them through discussion points and highlights of each PMP module with the PMPQuikNotes®, reinforced with a test of 15-20 key questions upon the completion of each module. A web-based testing is available at www.projectxcess.com to allow candidates to practice more questions and at their pace.
