What you'll learn
Training Overview
Our PMI PMP Boot Camp is equips you with the critical project management concepts, principles and techniques needed to pass the PMP exam on your first attempt. Unlike any other PMP class, our boot camp offers a unique opportunity to take the exam on the fifth day of class, when the knowledge is fresh in your mind and increases your chances of success.
What sets our PMP Boot Camp apart is the rigorous five-day, zero-distraction training format. Studies show that adults forget almost 50% of what they learn in a class within two weeks. By condensing the training into an intensive boot camp, we maximize retention and provide you with the best chance of retaining the PMP class material.
During an Infosec PMP Boot Camp, you benefit from expert instructors, targeted exam preparation and 35 hours of PMP pre-study materials. This course fulfills the project management education hours required to apply for your PMP exam, allowing you to take the exam immediately after your boot camp.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is getting certified an important part of a career as a project manager?
Project managers seek certifications like the PMP to prove their expertise in a competitive industry and broaden their professional horizons — gaining access to many different industries they want to explore. Certification proves to employers that you have the credentials to plan, manage and maintain projects of any size.
What qualifies as project management experience?
Project management experience must be gained across all five process groups as defined by the PMP Handbook. See the handbook’s breakdown of PMP Eligibility Requirements.
How does the PMP examination process work?
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 complicated questions might have a higher passing score, while an exam with more challenging questions might have a significantly lower passing score. You will need to pass each section of the exam to progress.
What material is covered on the PMP exam?
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 here.
How is the PMP certification different from other comparable certifications?
Another certification comparable to the PMP is the CAPM, which PMI also offers. The main difference between these certifications is their focus. While the PMP is a more involved, upper-level certification, the CAPM is geared toward entry-level professionals. CompTIA also has a Project+ certification that is a good pre-cursor to the PMP.
Is a PMP exam voucher included with the purchase of this course?
Yes! Purchase of this course does include an exam voucher, as well as an Exam Pass Guarantee. If you don’t pass your exam on the first attempt, we’ll pay for a second exam voucher for you.
What are some tips for preparing for the PMP?
Enrolling in a training course, like Infosec’s boot camp, is a great way to prepare yourself for the PMP exam. You can also access PMI’s PMP Handbook and PMP Exam Content Outline. For more, see our PMP certification exam success tips.
You're in Good Company
My instructor was VERY knowledgeable of the material. He also had a tremendous amount of real-life experience and great stories. He was a great teacher and gave great direction concerning the life of a PMP and how to approach the test.
Michael Hatley, Verizon
The course was phenomenal. I'm entry-level in terms of PMP, however, the course really opened up my viewpoints and allowed me to see the form and function that is needed in order to complete tasks and run projects.
Corporal Joseph Amley, OSIS Gov
The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, even knowing the PMBOK page numbers off the top of his head! He not only explained topics and answered questions very well but was also engaging and made the days pass quickly.
