Additionally, we are New Zealand's most experienced and successful PMP® exam preparation provider. We have trained and supported thousands of people all around the globe since 2005 to successfully pass the PMP® and our material is developed by both PMI and Sean Whitaker who has written multiple books on how to pass the PMP exam – we know what it takes and we work with you to make sure you are as prepared as you can be.

The Course

 

We've designed our course to deliver the best PMP® examination preparation experience possible and also teach you practical application of how to use the tools and techniques. Too many other PMP® exam prep providers simply push you through a boot camp focused entirely on the content for the PMP® which can be a little theoretical. We decided our course should not only help you study for the exam but also teach you how to use the tools and techniques.

We have several options available to you, each designed to suit your work commitments and also maximise your study.

  • We run our own online PMP® credential examination preparation course – 9 strategically structured online sessions, each 4 hours long, covering the essential topics for PMP® credential success.
  • We also offer our course as an internal course for organisations, and if you have a minimum of 6 people this is a efficient and economic option. Contact us for full details.

Can't make a session? No worries. There is always a recorded version for your convenience (note that you do need to attend a minimum number of real time sessions to get the completion certificate necessary for your exam eligibility).

Your Support

 

Studying for the PMP® examination can be a daunting task and that is why we are here to help you every step of the way. Every student gets access to individual support to meet their learning needs to ensure they understand the material and are fully prepared to pass the PMP® exam.

Our lead instructor is Sean Whitaker who has written many books on how to pass the PMP®. Additionally, all of our instructors hold the PMP® credential themselves so they know what it takes. They are also PMI certified trainers and have been trained in how to carry out effective training.

We will be with you every step of the way to PMP® exam success. In addition to giving you the individual attention you need to be successful, we will assist you with all aspects of the exam eligibility application.

WHY SIT THE PMP®?

 

Studying for the PMP® (Project Management Professional) exam equips project managers with a comprehensive understanding of globally-recognized best practices, methodologies, and standards in project management. We know you've been working as a project manager for a few years now but without credentials you may not know what you don't know. Organisations increasingly seek PMP® certified individuals, as the certification demonstrates a commitment to excellence, a deep knowledge base, and a mastery of the skills necessary to effectively lead and execute projects. Pursuing the PMP® credential can significantly elevate a project manager's career prospects, value to employers, and contribution to successful project outcomes.

 

THE COURSE

 

Our course fits in with you and your other responsibilities. We don't believe that cramming you into an intensive boot camp is good for anything apart from stressing you out.

We have several options available to you, each designed to suit your work commitments and also maximise your study.

  • We run our own online PMP® credential examination preparation course – 9 strategically structured online sessions, each 4 hours long, covering the essential topics for PMP® credential success.
  • We also offer our course as an internal course for organisations, and if you have a minimum of 6 people this is a efficient and economic option. Contact us for full details.

AND we want to learning to also empower you to use the tools and techniques straight away in your role as a project manager so as part of your course fee you also get access to our entire suite of online recordings from our Practical Project Management training. These give you the skills you need to apply the PMP exam material in a real world setting.

 

THE MATERIALS

 

All of the course materials have been developed, and approved, by the Project Management Institute and are exactly tailored to help you pass the PMP®. We have augmented these materials with our own content that both helps you pass the exam but also apply the tools and techniques in your job.

The materials include the following:

  • Course materials including key concepts, exam taking tips, templates and revision exercises developed by PMI and Sean Whitaker
  • Access to over 300 official PMI cloned PMP® examination questions
  • Access to the PMI student learning portal
  • Practice exams

 

THE PMP® EXAM

 

Before being allowed to sit the PMP® exam you must meet the eligibility criteria set by PMI.

If you have a Four-Year College / University Degree, you must have:

  • 36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years
  • 35 hours of project management education/training (which our course provides) or CAPM® certification
    — or —

If you do not have a Four-Year College/University Degree but do have a High School or Secondary School Diploma

  • 60 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years
  • 35 hours of project management education/training (which our course provides) or CAPM® certification

The great thing about taking the PMP® exam is that you are able to choose to do it from your home. Be aware of the very strict requirements surrounding the online version of the exam. The requirements are in place to preserve the status of the PMP® exam and we recommend you follow the online instructions given to you by the online examiner to the letter.

At the end of the exam, candidates will be notified that their responses have been sent to PMI, and they will get an email from PMI with exam results within five (5) business days. PMI will then examine the recording of the examination attempt using enhanced data forensics. If misconduct is found (such as talking, looking away from the screen, looking at notes etc), the exam is considered a security failure. The candidate will receive an email notification that their score has been canceled and will not be provided. Candidates who receive a security failure can only retake the exam in person (CBT) and at their own cost. Security failures will count towards the candidate’s three PMP® exam attempts allowed in a single eligibility period.

You can also nominate to take the exam at a local Pearson testing centre – the same rules will apply.
