Course Description

During this 5-day, hands-on, interactive PMP®Certification training, participants will learn all they need to know to pass the PMP®/CAPM® exam. Experienced PMP® instructors teach concepts, tools, and techniques, and facilitate group discussion. Working in teams, participants put project management concepts, tools, and techniques to use through practical exercises within the context of the simulation.

Through the use of an iPad® simulation participants find themselves immersed in the project management situations they will find on the exam. Because participants experience the PMBOK®, they leave with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to pass the new situational exam and improve the performance of their future projects.

The iPad®-based simulation deepens learning by immersing participants in dozens of project management situations relevant to both the exam and real-life project management. The simulation provides a rich multimedia experience designed to increase the levels of learning and give participants an experience to build on.

Each day participants will encounter specific sections of the PMBOK® along with simulation activities, reviews, and quizzes. Practice questions, flashcards, quizzes, and additional study aids to accelerate learning.
