Need a refresher before taking the PMP exam? Need some more hours to qualify to sit for the exam? This is the course for you. This course provides quality information in the form of previously recorded study sessions. These study sessions go over the important information you need to know to pass the exam. Most sessions contain tips and tricks for the exam and end with sample questions that you may encounter on the exam. You can also hear the discussions and questions from the participants. Sessions are broken down into short chunks to make studying a little easier and any references to materials will be included in the Files section of the course. Please take notes, make flashcards, pause the videos to answer questions before hearing the answer - whatever study strategy helps you.
This course will provide 5 hours of educational credit from the Project Management Institute (PMI)® for those seeking their Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification or 5 Professional Development Units (PDUs) for those already certified. Please note that this course alone does not qualify as the entire 35 hours of formal education needed to sit for the PMP exam.
