PMP Certification
Test Preparation Course (5-day version)
Based on the PMBOK™ Guide, Third Edition
The tool, techniques and critical people skills for
achieving success.
In today's leaner,
more flexible organization, the boundaries between functions are
becoming less sharp. You are almost certainly becoming more involved
in working on cross-functional projects or leading global teams,
even though the term 'project manager' may not be your title. To
be truly effective in this capacity you need to acquire new skills
and competence which extend beyond your normal role. This program
offers you a prime opportunity to acquire the relevant practical
skills and techniques, in a forum that is focused, stimulating and
highly interactive.

Why
PMP Certification?
More and
more organizations are turning to the Project Management Institute's
(PMI) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK™ Guide, Third Edition) and Project Management Professional
(PMP) Certification as the source and evidence of competency.
BMC is pleased to offer this three-day course specifically designed

leaders master the PMBOK™ Guide content and pass the PMP certification
exam. This course is also offered in four and five-day versions.

by PMI establish that people certified as Project Management
Professionals experience higher average earnings and hiring preference
compared to uncertified colleagues worldwide. The American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) has recognized the value of the PMBOK™ Guide,
Third Edition by designated it as a national standard.

The
Benefits
Very few
people can walk into the PMP certification exam without
preparation and pass it. Most examinees prepare rigorously for
it. The exam covers a wide range of project management related
topics and is updated regularly to cover the latest concepts.
In addition, it uses a specific process-oriented terminology
not addressed in general project management texts and courses.
In order to pass the certification exam, participants must be
current and fluent in a wide range of topics, unambiguously know
the PMI terminology and context, and be able to apply that knowledge
quickly and confidently.
This course
condenses the learning time required to prepare for the PMP certification
exam. It summarizes the critical points from all of the PMI recommended
test preparation texts (approximately 4300 pages of documentation)
plus recent issues of the PMI Journal. The course fully
addresses all the topic areas covered in the PMP certification
exam. Participants will become familiar with the PMI® framework
for their existing knowledge, will acquire the missing knowledge,
and will have multiple opportunities to test their knowledge
through sample questions. In short, this course prepares
the participants to pass the PMP Certification exam
by reminding them of what they know, educating them on what
they don't know, and putting the whole into the appropriate
context.
This course
is taught by instructors who are PMP certified and Registered
Education Providers (REP) of Project Management Institute.
Participants are awarded 24 Professional Development Units for
completion. Our faculty have proven track records of successful
participant first-time pass-rates around the world.
