Becoming a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) involves meeting certain education and experience requirements, and passing a 200 question exam.
The key to passing the exam is to understand PMI's view of project management. This means reviewing and understanding PMI's Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), but also becoming familiar with how PMI expects project managers to apply that knowledge. In most cases, this requires PMP candidates to become familiar with new concepts during their PMP exam preparation, and/or to "unlearn" practices that they have picked up over the years.

Course participants should be familiar with the certification process, and meet the PMP experience requirements prior to attending.
