The Project Management Institute (PMI®) conducts a certification program in project management. PMI®'s Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential is the project management profession's most globally recognized and respected certification credential. To obtain PMP® certification an individual must satisfy education and experience requirements, agree to and adhere to a Code of Professional Conduct, and pass the PMP® Certification Examination.
The Northern Nevada Community of the Sacramento Valley Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI-SVC, Inc.) conducts a Preparing for PMP® Certification course in 13 sessions over 7 weeks. This program is not designed to teach project management but to introduce you to what you need to know to shorten your study time and to pass the PMP® Examination. The classes include the shared perspectives of a diverse teaching team, comprehensive study guides and sample questions. In order to get the most out of this course, you should be prepared to study on your own (or with a study group) in addition to time spent in class. This course will meet the 35 contact hours required on the PMP® application.
PMI Members - $400, Non-members - $450
