Need expert help to earn an industry-recognized credential as a Project Management Institute (PMI®)-certified project manager? Continuing Education at UNC Charlotte will help you prepare for your PMI® PMP® certification exam.
This 2-day course concentrates on the fundamental concepts of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) thinking and approach to project management topics, concepts, vocabulary and testing techniques. This course does not attempt to “teach answers” but rather explains understandings and applications to prepare participants for questions related to the five process groups and nine knowledge areas. Special attention and examples will be provided for the scenario-based questions in the exam. This course is intended to supplement prior project management specific training and independent and/or group study. The PMP® Exam goes beyond “what you know” by asking questions that determine “can you do project management”. Participants should already possess all the application requirements before taking this course.
Because of the nature of the exam, this course concentrates on the breadth of the knowledge areas. Content in this exam prep course complies with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).
Anyone committed and qualified to sit for the PMP® Exam should take advantage of this opportunity for “one last review”. This course is intended for participants who meet all exam application requirements as they will benefit from the vocabulary-rich discussion of PMI’s® thinking.
To confirm your qualification for the PMP® Exam, please review the application requirements at www.pmi.org.
