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 to help experienced, knowledgeable
project managers and team leaders master the PMBOK™ Guide content
and pass the PMP® certification exam. This course is also offered
in four and five-day versions.
Surveys 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.
