Description:

In today's tough economic times, attaining your PMP certification is more important than ever.  Make sure you are prepared by enrolling in our PMP Prep Class which is compatible with PMBOK Fourth Edition and changed for the new test effective 01 September 2011.  The class  will be held on three Saturdays.

PMINJ has partnered with Velociteach to provide added value to our students.  Although still taught by PMI's team of experienced instructors, each student will also receive:

  • A copy of the study guide by Andy Crowe, entitled, "THe PMP Exam:  How to Pass on Your First Try"
  • A workbook containing a copy of all presentation slides and additional practice tests
  • 3 months of free access to "InSite" - Velociteach's proprietary study aid with unlimited practice tests
  • A laminated, tri-fold quick-reference card study aid 
Be sure you are thoroughly prepared for the PMP certification exam by registering for the NJ Chapter's highly recommended PMP Exam Review Class.   You will earn 20 training hours which can be used towards the 35 hour requirement for PMP exam eligibility.  If you need additional training hours to fulfill the requirement, see the list of Registered Education Providers at http://www.pmi.org/CareerDevelopment/Pages/Find-a-Registered-Education-Provider.aspx.

The PMI New Jersey Chapter PMP Examination Preparation Course (PMP Prep) provides attendees with the information that will help them pass the PMI PMP Examination.  PMP Prep is an overview of project management as outlined in PMI's "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge - Fourth Edition".

PMI uses specific definitions and interpretations that, while correct, are not used by all companies.  The course relates such definitions to other usages of the terminology so that students know PMI definitions and how they relate to their understanding.  Typically when people fail an Exam section, it is often in an area they know.  Thus, it is important to focus one's studies on PMI's expectations.

Note:
The class is intended for those individuals who have done nearly all of their preparation for the PMP Exam.  It is a high-level comprehensive review of all the PMBOK knowledge areas to get you focused before the exam and it is expected that students already understand the basics of all the knowledge areas.

You will earn 20 hours towards the 35 required hours of training for PMP eligibility.


Schedule:

The following schedule provides the start and end times for the days.  Each day will have a 1 hour lunch break.  The schedule of topics may change due to availability of instructors.  The program is taught by a team of experienced instructors, each presenting modules in their field of expertise.
