Improving Project Management

PMI-PMP / CAPM Examination Preparation Course (3 Days)

PMP® and CAPM® are internationally recognised project management qualifications that are highly prized by employers and project managers. For the employer it means that a project manager with the PMP® or CAPM® qualification has demonstrated a very high level of knowledge in the techniques and theory of project management and has shown application and persistence to study and succeed.

Our experience is that most of those who aspire to gain PMP® or CAPM® status have already undertaken sufficient hours of project management training to meet the PMI® criteria. The criterion is 35 hours of training for the PMP® exam and 23 hours for the CAPM® exam. For this reason the CPIS PMP® & CAPM® Examination Preparation Course is 3 days (24 hours) long and concentrates on the more difficult aspects of the PMBOK®; examination technique; and answering mock examination questions. This has been found to be a very successful formula.

Benefits of the PMI-PMP / CAPM Examination Preparation Course:

Course Guarantee

We cannot guarantee that you will pass the PMP® and CAPM® examinations, but because so few of our course delegates fail, we guarantee you that you can return on the next course of the same type without paying the tutor fees. You pay only for the examination fees, your lunch and a small administrative charge.

PMP / CAPM Examination Preparation Course Format:

The PMI-PMP / CAPM Examination Preparation Course is a 3 day course.

PMI-PMP / CAPM Examination Preparation Course Content

The PMP® and CAPM® course focuses on preparing delegates for the appropriate PMI® exam. We have found that it is not enough to teach the topics but also to teach how to approach the exam questions. Tips are given as to how to answer the PMP® and CAPM® exam questions, and frequent quizzes and mock exam questions are given to test progress. Towards the end of the course, delegates develop a learning plan to take them to success in the PMP® or CAPM® examinations.
