The PMP Exam Preparation course is a professional training programme designed to help project managers develop the skills and knowledge required to earn the globally recognized Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. It covers the essential project management practices as defined by PMI, preparing participants to successfully manage projects and pass the PMP exam. This CPD-accredited course is ideal for those with real-world project management experience seeking formal certification. Download the course brochure for full details.

In the PMP Exam Preparation course, you will learn the key project management skills and techniques aligned with the PMI standards. You will gain in-depth knowledge of the 7th edition PMBOK Guide, understand the interconnectivity of project management processes and knowledge areas, and identify critical exam topics. The course also covers the PMP application process and strategies to improve your chances of PMP success on the first exam attempt.

The course uses the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) globally recognised framework, specifically the 7th edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). This framework emphasizes understanding the processes, knowledge areas, and best practices for effective project management, providing a structured approach to preparing for the PMP exam. The curriculum integrates PMI’s standards for project governance, stakeholder engagement, and project closure.

This course is ideal for experienced project managers seeking PMP certification regardless of whether they have or have not had formal project management training. To enroll, you should meet PMI's eligibility criteria, such as having a four-year degree with 36 months of project-leading experience or a high school diploma with 60 months leading projects, plus 35 hours of project management education. It suits professionals aiming to validate their project management expertise with the PMP credential.

Participants must meet PMI’s eligibility requirements, which include educational qualifications and relevant project management experience. These requirements are either a four-year degree with at least 36 months of leading projects or a high school diploma with 60 months of project leadership experience, along with 35 hours of project management education or CAPM certification. Meeting these prerequisites ensures you qualify to sit for the PMP exam. Download the course brochure for full eligibility details.

Upon successful attendance and completion of course assessments, delegates will receive an Informa Connect Academy Certificate of Completion for the PMP Exam Preparation course. Those who attend all sessions but do not meet assessment criteria will receive a Certificate of Attendance indicating hours completed. This certificate supports your professional development but is separate from PMI’s official PMP certification, which requires passing the PMP exam independently.

The course is structured into six modules covering key project management areas including the business environment, project initiation, planning, team leadership, team support, and project closure. Topics include strategic alignment, stakeholder engagement, risk and quality planning, communication, conflict management, and benefits realisation. This comprehensive outline aligns with PMP exam content to enhance exam readiness and project delivery skills.

The brochure indicates the PMP Exam Preparation course is available as in-person training sessions, with resources, documentation, luncheon, and refreshments provided for onsite delegates. Virtual or live online availability is also likely offered, with soft copies of certificates issued to remote participants. Duration specifics are not detailed, so please download the course brochure or contact us for schedule and timing information.

Registration requires submission through Informa Connect Academy’s process with full payment due prior to course commencement. Once registered, you receive confirmation and an invoice. Any cancellations must be emailed according to the stated terms and conditions. Visa support is advised well in advance for non-GCC nationals attending in-person sessions.

While the PMP Exam Preparation course thoroughly prepares candidates using PMI’s PMBOK Guide and recognised project management practices, ultimate PMP success depends on individual study, experience, and passing the official PMP exam administered by PMI. The course significantly improves your knowledge and readiness, boosting your chance to pass the challenging exam on your first try. Participants must register themselves with PMI for the exam separately.
