|---|---|
| This four-day, 36-hour, Saturday format course is a PMBOK Guide-oriented exam prep course taught by Hari Thummalapalli, emphasizing PMBOK Guide, 6th edition knowledge only as captured in the book 'Process Groups, a Practice Guide' by PMI, structured around the 10 knowledge areas of the PMBOK Guide, and focused on what is necessary to pass the most recent PMP and CAPM exams - both concepts and exam tips. The course steps through the core concepts that are tested on the exams by quickly reviewing each concept and at the same time addressing what the student needs to know from an exam perspective. The format throughout the course is: lecture style to explain the key concepts needed for the exam, interactive Q&A to ensure everyone understood the concepts, exam perspective for each concept, short 5-10 minute quizzes, practice test questions for each knowledge area, and a final full-length four-hour practice test. The course will start off with an overview of the PMP and CAPM exams, including how to apply, eligibility criteria, and scheduling the actual test. The class will then focus on definitions and formulas in addition to addressing all the processes and knowledge areas covered on the exam. Considerable practice and preparation outside of the class is necessary to successfully pass the PMP and CAPM exams. This course is strictly PMP and CAPM examination preparation. If you are looking for a course to learn Project Management, review our introductory and intermediate course offerings. Students that do not meet the experience criteria for taking the PMP exam are encouraged to prepare for the CAPM exam instead. This course focuses on the fundamental concepts from an exam perspective that are tested on both exams. Students should see pmi.org for the PMP and CAPM examination requirements. Textbooks: PMP Exam Prep (Updated), 11th Edition by Rita Mulcahy. Suggested prerequisite: none, but it will be very beneficial to have completed BMGT 1009 Applied Project Management, a process-oriented PM course, or equivalent. Otherwise, students will have to put in additional study time to make up for lack of prior Project Management training. Students who are uncertain about their preparedness for the PMP/CAPM Exam Prep course can schedule a brief (15-20 minute) call with the course instructor before deciding. At least 12 months experience working on a project is very helpful to keep up with this fast-paced course. Students should visit pmi.org for the PMI examination requirements. | |
