Project Management Professional (PMP)®

PMP is the most portable project management credential in the world, and the current exam is not the one most people prepare for. Since 2021 it has been organised around PMI's Examination Content Outline — People, Process and Business Environment — with roughly half the questions set in agile or hybrid environments rather than predictive ones. This programme teaches to that outline. It also covers the application itself, which is where a surprising number of candidates stall: PMI requires documented project experience and 35 contact hours before you may sit the exam, and this course supplies the contact hours.
