Project Management (PMP) Certification Prep

This course provides the 35 hours of project management education required by PMI (Project Management Institute) to qualify for the PMP certification exam. Designed to align with PMI's Examination Content Outline (ECO), the curriculum covers the knowledge, skills, and competencies expected of experienced project managers working across predictive, agile, and hybrid environments.

Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate of completion documenting the 35 contact hours of project management education, which can be submitted as part of the PMP exam application through PMI.

Please Note: This course fulfills the education requirement for PMP exam eligibility but does not include the PMP exam. Candidates must apply and register for the exam separately and directly through PMI at pmi.org. Eligibility requirements, including verified project management experience, must be met prior to exam registration. This course is ideal for professionals who meet or are working toward meeting PMI's experience requirements and are preparing to pursue one of the most globally recognized credentials in project management.

Project Management introduces the critical principles and processes associated with project management and the practical application of these processes.
