PMP® Exam Preparation, an in-depth, live, virtual course, is the second online course in this series after Project Management Essentials, offered by Purdue University Online. This offering assumes you already meet the criteria necessary to qualify to take the exam. You must be an experienced project manager (minimum 3 years). Before you may qualify to take the PMP exam, the Project Management Institute (PMI) requires that you have at least 35 hours of project management education. This course assumes you are already familiar with the content of the PMBOK® Guide. If you feel like you need a refresher on the content of the PMBOK® Guide, taking the Project Management Essentials course first is strongly suggested. Please visit the PMI website for details about PMI’s PMP exam prerequisites.

Course Overview
PMP Exam Preparation is a live, virtual course based on the PMBOK® Guide.
Enrollment includes 90-day access to all of the course material, which is 100% aligned to the Project Management Institute’s PMP® Exam Prep content. Purdue also provides complimentary 90-day access to the PMtraining™ online practice test website (a $59 value).
Certification

PMI’s PMP exam consists of 180 multiple-choice, multiple response, matching, hotspot and limited fill-in-the-blank questions. The exam is demanding and students must engage in independent study following the course to pass.
Only individuals who pass PMI’s PMP exam are officially certified as a Project Management Professional®. A certificate of achievement from Purdue University, however, is awarded to students who successfully complete the PMP exam prep course.
