| Special Note: |
This course has been fully revised to reflect PMBOK™ Guide, 4th Edition, which is examined from 30 June 2009. |
| Introduction: |
Rapidly growing global recognition and acceptance by businesses of the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI®) makes it increasingly valuable to the practitioner. Passing an exam of 200 multiple choice questions is a prerequisite for successful completion. The exam is based on the five project management processes described in PMI®’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOKÔ Guide) with the number of questions against each defined in the Project Management Professional Examination Specification.
PMP® Preparation Study Intensive covers all five processes in detail, by knowledge area, using classroom instruction and discussion, and practice exam questions. The course material includes sample questions (with answers, explanations and references), an extensive study guide identifying topics to focus on and explanation of key concepts, a detailed bibliography of suggested reading, exam tips and techniques, and all presentation materials used during the course.
Originally prepared in 1995, this course has been used as the basis for exam preparation within the Project Management Institute New Zealand Chapter (PMINZ) and has been used extensively internationally. The material is under continual review and is updated to reflect the latest exam information available. Questions are based on the books recommended by PMI® for reading and preparation, and on the Project Management Professional Examination Specification that PMI uses as the basis for the PMP® exam.

- Andy, Balclutha
Having set an objective to obtain PMP. And the struggled to find educational facilities that suited my learning requirements, this course has given me a good understanding of the PMBOK subject matter and the areas I need to focus on in preparation for the exam, with the interaction necessary for me to understand the subject matter.
- Martin, Sydney
This course was my introduction to PMBOK and formal PM theory. It opened up "a whole new world" for me in terms of my career. Stephen opens up the theory wonderfully, in a way that makes the theory practically valuable.
