Top PMP Exam Prep

There are numerous ways to do PMP Exam Prep. Here are four guidelines to find the right PMP Exam Prep for you.

  1. The PMI PMP Eligibility Application
    • Why is this important?
      • If you do not complete the PMI PMP Eligibility Application you cannot take the PMP exam. What is even more significant, over 50% of people who do PMP Exam Prep have the confidence to complete the PMI PMP Application. If the PMP Exam Prep course you are considering states “Qualifies for PMI’s 35 hour PM Education Requirement,” what they are saying is that you will have to do your PMI Eligibility application AFTER their PMP Exam Prep course.
      • When you have to wait until after your PMP Exam Prep course is finished to complete your PMI PMI Application, It causes over 50% of people to take a course for which they not have the confidence to complete the PMI PMP application to take the actual PMP exam.
    • Completing the PMI PMP Application
      • PMI is very particular how they want Project Management experience defined. If you do not define it in the terms or the manner they want, they will not approve your application and they can also audit your application. If you are found to have fabricated anything on your application, you can NEVER take the PMP exam.
    • Select a PMP Exam Prep provider where they help you complete the PMI PMP Application BEFORE you start their course.
      • With Cheetah’s Accelerated PMP Exam Prep program, project managers work one on one with their Cheetah PMP Coach BEFORE their Cheetah class to get their PMI PMP Eligibility. For those that need it Cheetah has a free 35 hour PM Basics course so project managers can complete their PMI PMP Eligibility Application.
  2. Taking the Actual PMP Exam
    • Take the exam within a day or two of when your PMP course ends. Many PMP Exam Prep providers are old school in their curriculum development and do not account for the way today’s brains currently work. They claim you need to study for weeks or months AFTER their course ends to be able to pass the PMP exam. While long term repetition of content may have worked in the past, in today’s fast paced world information overload, distractions, and anxiety, are a triple threat that actually hurts memory and instant recall when starting and stopping the exam prep process over many months.
    • Longer study times cause lower chances of becoming PMP certified. In project management it’s well known the longer a project takes, the less likely it is the project will ever be completed. The same is true for becoming PMP Certified. The longer it takes to prep for the PMP exam, the less likely it is a project manager will become PMP certified.
  3. Passing the PMP Exam Guarantee
    • Many PMP Exam Prep providers offer a guarantee you will pass the PMP exam with their approach. They will allow you to retake their program or have longer access to their online content. If they do offer money back, they may take out fees for certain things and return a fraction of what was paid. Many of these companies go out of business in three to five years since their pass rates are low and they have to do many refunds. If the company is relatively new, buyer beware.
    • Make sure the guarantee is a full money back guarantee if you do not pass the PMP exam.
  4. The cost of the PMP Exam Prep
    • PMP Exam Prep programs that charge a base fee with required add ons for extras can add up quick. Be wary of PMP Exam Providers who offer low cost offers only to hit you with other charges to achieve their promised results.
    • Factor in the time it will take for you to become PMP certified. Considering most Project Managers who become PMP certified get $30,000 and up pay raises, need the PMP to get or keep their job, delaying becoming PMP certified can create costs ten times the cost of the course. For every month it takes you to become PMP certified, factor in an additional $3000 in lost revenue (a cost). For example, if you’re evaluating a program that charges $2000, discourages you from taking the PMP exam right away, requires you to do the PMI PMP eligibility application AFTER their program and encourages you to use their online practice exam portal for six months, the true cost of that program is $20,000.
