PMP Exam Preparation

The Centre for Continuing Professional Development at University College Cork is hosting a 4-day PMP Exam Preparation course this January. Based on the PMBOK guide to project management, it features:

- learning online with simulated exams
- one-to-one tutorial support
- support for the PMP Exam process

The four day classroom course has been designed on the basis of sound andragogical principles, such as holding a 10-question classroom exam after each module to provide immediate reinforcement. Similarly, difficult topics are illustrated using realworld examples and in-class exercises.

The topics covered are informed by the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).

These are:

Project Integration Management
Project Scope Management
Project Time Management
Project Cost Management
Project Quality Management
Project Risk Management
Project Communications Management
Project Human Resource Planning
Project Procurement Management
Project Stakeholder Management
Project Professional Responsibility/Ethics
PMP Exam format and procedures

Following the course, students continue their studies through distance learning – by attempting simulated exams and forwarding questions to their course instructors.

The simulated exams take due cognizance of the Project Management Institute’s (PMIs) PMP® Examination Content Outline.
