PMP® Bootcamp

This comprehensive PMP® certification prep course is designed for experienced project managers aiming to master the knowledge, terminology, and techniques necessary for the PMP exam administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The program fulfills the 35-hour instructional requirement and includes access to online flashcards as well as a robust set of PMI-provided test bank questions to reinforce your learning.

Unlike previous versions, the current PMP exam is entirely situational, based on the 2021 PMP Exam Content Outline. It draws from multiple sources—including the Agile Practice Guide—rather than relying solely on the PMBOK® Guide. This approach ensures that your preparation aligns with the latest exam standards and industry practices.

Our instructors have unmatched expertise, having contributed to the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th editions of the PMBOK® Guide and various PMI Practice Guides. Certified as PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP) instructors, they also played a vital role in developing the v3 release of PMP course materials and practice questions.
