The Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification has become a highly sought-after indication of professionalism in project management. Preparing for the PMP® examination, however, can be a daunting and time-consuming experience.
In order to meet the needs of busy professionals, Babbage Simmel, one of the nation’s leading project management training firms, has created PMP® 1-2-3: A Guide to Preparing for the PMP Exam, which forms the base of this intense, five-day workshop. PMP® 1-2-3 brings together the materials covered on the PMP® exam into one easy to use, step-by-step method for efficient and effective exam preparation.
In the PMP® 1-2-3 workshop, your exam preparation follows a simple three-step process:
- Learn the necessary concepts and definitions for the exam based on the PMBOK® Guide, Fourth Edition and other authoritative sources of project management literature. Materials are presented in summary format within a highly visual presentation geared to the learning needs of adult learners
- Apply the material in interactive assignments and exercises, again geared toward adult learners who learn by application
- Review and measure your progress using review templates and practice exam questions
PMP® 1-2-3 has been developed by Babbage Simmel’s PMPs who have trained hundreds of project managers and successfully guided many to PMP® Certification. Each module contains sample questions and the workshop concludes with a 100-question sample test designed to allow participants to gauge the level of their preparation for the exam.
This workshop is intended to prepare you to successfully take the PMP® exam, and the flow of the course is directed toward that end. The workshop will employ a case study that will be referred to throughout.
This comprehensive 5-day course will have you exam ready, containing over 300 pages of material including test prep, as well as we also add the PMBOK® Guide, Fourth Edition as a reference guide.
This course provides the required 35 contact hours of project management education required to sit for the PMP® exam.
