Accelerated PMP® Exam Prep Course

Mandatory Prerequisites

This class might not be for you! Prior to enrolling in RMC's Accelerated PMP Exam Prep class, you:

Must have taken a course in basic project management;
Should have received your approval to take the exam from PMI; and
Should have already chosen your exam date.

If you have not had a basic project management course in the recent past you will not be ready to pass the exam. Please consider taking our 3-day Project Management Tricks of the Trade® class.

In addition to the above, you must be familiar with the following prior to enrolling:

Project charter
Work breakdown structures, with experience creating one in the real world and knowledge that they are not created in a bar or Gantt chart
Network diagram
Time and cost estimating
Planning quality into a project
Communications plans (and why they are important)
Management plans (what they contain and why they are important)
The process of planning a project
What a project manager should be doing when the work is going on
What should be measured on a project, when and why
Project closeout (what should be done and why it is important)

Also, you should not take this class if you do any of the following:

Hold many "go around the room and report" type status meetings
Ask people to cut 10% off of their time estimate
Complain about management, sponsors or customers giving you an unrealistic time frame or budget
Spend much of your time asking people for percent complete

And finally, it would help if you also have at least some exposure to the following before this class:

Procurement Management
Earned Value
Risk Management
