PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) Training Boot Camp

Project managers seek certifications like the PMP not only to prove their expertise in a competitive industry, but also to broaden their professional horizons — gaining access to virtually any industry they want to explore, worldwide. Certification proves to employers that you have the credentials to plan, manage and maintain projects of any size.

Infosec’s PMP training boot camp is structured as a rigorous five days of zero-distraction training — and it is the only course on the market that affords students the opportunity to sit their PMP exam on the fifth day of class. Studies show that adults forget about 50% of what they’ve learned in a class within two weeks of it ending. Since other PMP courses have an average wait time of 2-4 weeks before you can sit the exam, our training boot camp offers the best chance you’ll have at retaining PMP material. We also offer live online students an Exam Pass Guarantee so that you can focus on the learning process with zero exam stress!

Candidates must have 35 hours of specific project management education (which our program covers!). Without a Bachelor’s degree, candidates must have at least five years of professional project management experience, with at least 7,500 hours spent leading and directing project tasks. With a Bachelor’s degree, candidates must have at least three years of professional project management experience, with at least 4,500 hours spent leading and directing project tasks. With or without a Bachelor’s, the prerequisites must be met within eight years from the time of application.

Project management experience must be gained across all five process groups as defined by the PMP Handbook. Click here to view the handbook’s breakdown of PMP Eligibility Requirements.

The exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions that must be completed within four hours. There is no fixed score to pass the PMP exam, as this depends on the difficulty level of the questions assigned. For example, an exam with less difficult questions might have a higher passing score, while an exam with harder questions might have a significantly lower passing score. You will need to pass each section of the exam in order to progress.

The five domains of questions that the PMP focuses on are as follows: Initiating (13%), Planning (24%), Executing (31%), Monitoring and Controlling (25%), and Closing (7%). PMI has released an Exam Content Guide with detailed information about each domain, which you can access by clicking here.

Another certification comparable to the PMP is the CAPM, which is also offered by PMI. The main difference between these certifications is their focus. While the PMP is a more involved, upper-level certification, the CAPM is geared towards entry-level professionals.

The PMP certification lasts for a cycle of three years, throughout which holders must earn 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units) in order to renew the cycle when it ends.
