Why Take This Course?

  1. There is no study required after this class. Students are ready to sit for the exam on the very next day.
  2. Whereas others spend days walking you through the inputs and outputs of the PMBOK® Guide, we will show you how to understand them in only minutes. Then watch how you immediately get 80 to 100 percent of sample questions right.
  3. Rather than making you endure days of memorization, we help you understand and learn.
  4. You will take computerized exam simulations in class, SO YOU WILL KNOW you are ready to sit for the exam-and you will have evidence to prove it.
  5. You will utilize the best-selling materials available to pass the PMP® exam-including Rita’s book, PMP® Exam Prep. You will also gain access to study materials not otherwise available to the general public.
  6. You will learn topics that are on the exam but are NOT in the PMBOK® Guide, as well as, reasons why others fail the exam and how to avoid these critical mistakes.
  7. You will understand how to analyze and answer the most difficult questions on the exam, and quickly tackle situational questions that seemingly have more than one correct answer.
  8. You will discover what you know, as well as what you do NOT know, and receive help filling your knowledge gaps.
  9. You will learn the “Boil it Down” trick, the “Backwards” trick, the “Inputs and Outputs” trick, the “Translation” trick and many, many others developed from over 19 years of helping people pass the exam.

Preparation

  • Submit your application to PMI to take the exam AND get a test date immediately after the class completes. The best way to prepare and submit your application is to do so online at PMI’s website.
  • Review your basic project management training materials. If you have not had a basic course in project management that you were satisfied with or if you do not know the items in the prerequisites section.
  • Complete the mandatory JumpStart e-learning course. RMC is excited to offer a free website with this class, offering up to four extra hours of material to help those who wish to get a jump start on their learning. This program includes additional mandatory work on the topic of Procurement. Reviewing this material prior to class will be a BIG HELP in making sure you are not left behind during class.
