College Business and Industry Center
in Cary, NC, but we travel throughout
the country to conduct corporate training.
We will be happy to accommodate your
small group or large group training needs.
Is there a minimum number or
maximum number of students you can

Any size group can be accommodated,
but of course group discounts may be
available for larger groups.
Why
get PMP® certified?
Fortune magazine calls
project management the number one career
choice. Project
management skills rise above industry-specific
boundaries to create unlimited opportunities.
Companies are convinced that implementing
project management best practices will
save large amounts of time and money while
producing higher quality, decreased risk,
and increased customer satisfaction.
An article in Tech
Republic states
that PMP® certification is now in
high demand. Clients are specifically
requesting PMP® certified individuals
for their projects.
CertCities recently
identified the PMP® as
one of the hottest certifications. The
PMP® designation
symbolizes knowledge and accomplishment,
and is highly regarded by colleagues
and employers, demonstrating that you
possess a solid foundation of experience
and education that can have a positive
impact on bottom-line results.
PMP® certification is the project
management profession's most globally
respected credential. Worldwide,
PMPs provide project management services
in over 120 countries. Many corporations
require certification for advancement
within the company, or even for initial
employment.
What types of industries
require PMP® certified
project managers?
Project
management certification & skill
sets are transferable to every type of
industry. IT, biotech, accounting,
banking, pharmaceutical, telecommunications,
construction, hospital management, government,
public utilities, and research are just
a few. Employees from the following
companies have been enthusiastic about
our classes: IBM, Bayer, Quintiles, SAS,
Glaxo, Nortel, Progress Energy, EPA,
USDA, SunTrust Bank, Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, & many more!
When should
I take the PMP® exam
prep course?
As EARLY
as possible in your certification preparation
process. The longest
part of the certification process is
studying to absorb the massive amounts
of material contained on the exam. (Many
experts suggest well over100 hours of
study time, but you will save a great
deal of time by taking the class early,
learning all of our memory tricks and
testing tips, & narrowing your focus.)
If you desire intensive training in the
project management processes, wanting
to learn & review a lot in a short
period of time, our exam prep class is
for you.
Project management tasks are sometimes
performed by other departments (procurement,
etc.), and sometimes by people given
tasks without training. This course
will fill in the missing pieces, formulas,
terms, end-to-end processes, etc. as
it prepares you for the certification
exam.
Do I have to take a class
before I sit for the PMP® exam?
As
of March 2002, 35 hours of formal project
management instruction is required before
you can apply to sit for the exam. This
class completely fulfills that requirement.
Are
there Prerequisites?
There
are no prerequisites for the PMP® exam
prep class itself, but to become certified,
you must have:
1) 35 hours
of instruction (this course fullfills
that requirement)
2) verify
to PMI® the required
amount of experience
3) pass their
exam
(See their website for more information http://www.pmi.org/.) (Look
for the “handbook” download.)
You
must have the instruction before you submit
the experience verification, & most
people find it helpful to take the class
very early in their certification process.
Do I have to be a project manager
to become a PMP®?
You do not
have to have the title of project manager.
Many people lead and direct portions of
a project without having a particular title.
See the PMI® website for more details.
Do I have to work in a particular
industry to be a PMP®?
No.
The valuable knowledge gained by becoming
a PMP® transfers well to all industries.
What’s on the PMP® exam?
The
beginning foundations are found in the
PMBOK® (Project
Management Body of Knowledge), but not all of the
questions on the exam are taken from
the PMBOK®. Quite a few are
taken from other sources. Our expertly
researched curriculum fills in the gaps
and adds material that is often found
on the exam, but is not in the PMBOK®.
Where
can I find information about certification
requirements?
PMI®’s
