Course: PMI PMP Exam Preparation Workshop

The attainment of accreditations offered by professional bodies such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) is increasingly seen as a recognised indicator of competence in project management.

This workshop is aimed at experienced project managers who wish to adopt a fast-track approach to preparing for the PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) examination. It is based on the nine knowledge areas defined in the PMBOK Guide 2000 Edition and includes exercises and sample examination questions.

Delegates should note they are required to apply directly to the PMI to register for the examination, which will normally be sat at an approved on-line testing centre shortly after attending the workshop.

This intensive two-day workshop combines short tutorials, discussions and exercises which together provide ideal examination preparation. Delegates will have the opportunity to raise and address issues of personal concern.
