We can give you all the materials you need, the best learning environment and an experienced coach to support you - but you have to do the work and take the exam yourself. We can, however, show you that our students who answer 70%-90% of their questions in our exam simulator correctly are reporting about a 90% chance that they pass their exam on their first attempt.

If the transfer is to a more expensive class, then the transfer fee plus the price difference must be paid before the class begins If the transfer is to a less expensive class, then the transfer fee minus the refund will be due before the class begins
PMPs get higher salaries – Employees with a PMP certification earn higher average salaries than non-certified project managers. The average median salary for PMPs is $108, 000, opposed to $91, 000 for those without certification. The PMP certification gives you added credibility as a project manager, enhances your job and advancement opportunities, and shows that you are dedicated to your career.

What Does a Project Manager Do? A project manager is the person who is responsible for the overall initiation, design, planning, implementation, controlling, monitoring, and successful closing of a project. This includes overseeing all aspects of the project including planning, budgeting, and documenting every step of the project. They often work with a team from other departments to complete projects, as well as reporting to upper management regarding the schedule and status of the project.

Important: Because of these PMI requirements, we are unable to provide a certificate or refund to you if you miss more than one day. Are the PowerPoint Slides from PMI included?
