PMP® and CAPM® Preparation

If you are preparing for the examination for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) designation, or the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®), you should attend our intense preparation course.

This course has been offered from Hong Kong to Tehran and Lagos, and from Victoria to St. John’s, and has certainly prepared more Canadian candidates for the PMP® exam than any other course.

This course is an intense “crash” review of exam material, it is not intended as a stand-alone project management course. It is delivered in a 3 or 4-day version for participants who are already well prepared , and can be available in 5 and 6-day versions for in-house deliveries.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will gain practical skills to:

• Review all nine Knowledge Areas as well as Professional and Social Responsibility.
• Obtain an overall view of the current state of the project management body of knowledge.
