Why do I need to take a PMP Prep Course?

Many people need a structured environment to prepare for a difficult exam. As you can see in the testimonials there are many advantages the graduates found from taking our course that they felt made the difference in their passing the exam..

Can I really pass the exam on the first time?

Yes, with the right preparation. This course is designed to have you sit for the exam right after the course is completed. If you follow the personal study instruction there is no reason you will not pass on the first time - like so many others have done.

What if I’m studying by myself or with a study group?

I have students that have started with self study and even other courses and find my structured approach very beneficial. The class discussions and explanation of the PMI methodology help greatly in students understanding the type and style of questions they will encounter on the exam. Self study usually has no set time frame so staying focused is difficult and students don’t know if they are studying the right material and using the best PMP study guides until they take the exam.

Why do you take 10 weeks to do the course instead of 3-5 days like others?

I have found the 10 weeks necessary for the student to understand PMI concepts and specific information necessary for the exam. It gives the student time to absorb the material, concepts and the PMI methodology which are all keys to success in taking the exam. Your test scores in the course will indicate when you are ready to take the exam and if you need more preparation before sitting for the exam.
 I've had several students take my course AFTER taking the 3-5 day course and being unsuccessful in passing the exam. I have not offered the bootcamps because I would not have a reasonable expectation my students would pass with only 3-5 days of instruction.

What do I need to study or do before attending your Exam Prep class?

I normally provide the first two study manuals prior to the course starting so you can become familiar with the material. Also, you don’t need to apply for the exam before taking the course. I will go through the process you need to apply and provide you with a special spreadsheet to help you summarize your hours.

What if I work in senior management - can I still benefit from your course?

This course prepares any qualified candidate to pass the PMP Exam. I have trained Senior Managers, Directors and Vice Presidents in my course.This allows management to understand much of what the PM's do and say.

What happens if I have to miss a session because of business or personal reasons?

I will work with you to make up an occasional missed session. I also coach individual students as needed. My goal is to see all of my students be successful in getting their PMP certification.
