Course overview

About the course

The PMP e-learning course from ILX is based on the PMBOK® Guide. You will work through a series of e-learning sessions, complete a range of interactive exercises in each session, and test yourself with multiple-choice format questions in our exam simulator. These questions are based on those typically asked in the official PMP examination.

The course is highly interactive and engaging, containing animation and narration throughout. Built using ILX’s proven development approach, the course breaks down the Project Management Institute’s ‘A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge’ into easily digested sessions that align with each of the PMBOK Guide knowledge areas.

Each session contains lots of real-life examples that help learners to apply the theory. The interactive course includes exercises and puzzles to help develop practical application and assist with knowledge retention. Learners are introduced to ILX’s virtual classmates; a group of animated characters who help explore some of the PMBOK Guide’s more complex concepts. Each session also includes numerous multiple-choice questions to test the users’ understanding.

Is PMP difficult?

PMP is not simply an exam-crammer – it provides a comprehensive insight into the world of projects and project management. After completing this course, learners will have a greater understanding and will be well-prepared to sit the PMP examination. However, it is important to remember (especially with PMP) that the training course alone will not be enough to get you through the exam. You are expected to have a certain level of knowledge and experience, which is reflected in the exam prerequisites.

Note: The exam is not included in this product.If you wish to take the PMP certification you will need to contact PMI directly.

Duration

The actual study time for this e-learning course is approximately 35 – 40 hours.

Please note: You must complete all the e-learning across all modules ,exceed 35 hours learning and pass the exam simulator in order for us to issue a completion certificate.
