PMP®
PMP® Certification Course Overview
Wherever you are in your career, the globally-recognized Project Management Professional (PMP) certification tells employers, peers, and the world you know what you’re doing in project management.
Even if “project manager” isn’t part of your title, the PMP applies to anyone who helps bring a project to completion. Just like a CPA validates expertise for accountants, the PMP recognizes your ability to manage projects—and the hard work you’ve done so far.
Project Management Professional (PMP)® is an industry-recognised certification for project managers. Globally-recognised and demanded, the PMP credential demonstrates that you have the experience, education and competency to successfully lead and direct projects. This product is aligned to the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition.
This is an intensive five-day classroom course. The actual exam is not included in this course.
