Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam Prep Course Agenda

This PMI^®-authorized course provides experienced project managers with the knowledge of concepts, terminology and techniques that are addressed on the PMP^® exam from Project Management Institute (PMI^®). In addition to providing the 35 hours of specific instruction required to sit for the Project Management Professional (PMP) ^® exam from PMI^® , the course also provides access toonline flash cards and test banks with questions from PMI. The current PMP^® exam is NOT based on the 8th edition of the PMBOK– but rather on the July 2026 Exam Content Outline and multiple references including the Process Group: Practice Guide, and the Agile Practice Guide from PMI. We are a Premier ATP and authorized PMP instructors and contributors to the 6^th , 7th, and 8th editions of the PMBOK, in addition to other PMI^® publications. We were key participants in the update of the April 2026 release of the PMP course materials and practice questions.
