Getting your Project Management Professional (PMP certification) is a solid investment in your future. A salary survey from the Project Management Institute shows that PMP certified project managers in the United States command a 22% higher salary than those without the PMP credential. The PMP is the most in-demand project management credential (regardless of industry). Having it will expand your career opportunities once you pass the exam.

But getting there won't be easy. Recent changes to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Sixth edition have more than doubled what you need to learn and memorize for the PMP exam. In the PMBOK® Guide, the number of Inputs, Tools, Techniques, and Outputs (ITTO) rose from approximately 600 to close to 1400. While many of these new tools and techniques were simply in the fine print of previous PMBOK® Guide(s), the Project Management Institute (PMI) elevated them to official status. In a nod to the popularity of Scrum and Scrum Certification, the materials now include Agile Development and articulate an expanded role for the project manager where expertise demands both adaptability and agility.

Achieving your PMP certification is still a quick way to re-energize your career and create new opportunities for professional growth. Edwel Programs has a 25-year track record of using accelerated learning solutions to help our students pass the project management certification exam. After our 4-day PMP boot camp, you will have the skills needed to begin the next chapter in your career.

Amy Zeller, PMP
I took the Edwel course last week and sat for the exam Tuesday, and passed! Big thanks to the folks at Edwel for making sure I got into a class that worked with my schedule. Also hats off to our instructor Myra Baskerville for relaying a lot of important information in the Exam Prep class, in a short amount of time (4 days).

Emilia Voge, PMP
Edwel is a MUST boot camp for any aspiring PMP. Great company, great instructors, and all materials are at your fingertips for success.

Russell Roberds, PMP
I am happy to state that I did pass the PMP exam on the first try, three days after the class ended. I know that I would have failed miserably had I not taken the boot camp by Edwel.

Free PMP-certified advisors keep you on track

Our classroom instructors are excellent, but did you know that we provide you a coach outside of the classroom? Here is how it works as you get your PMP certification:

  • Right after registration, you are introduced to your PMP-certified adviser.
  • Working with you, your adviser will submit your application to the Project Management Institute.
  • Your adviser is there to answer your questions before, during and after the class.
Since all advisers have passed the PMP exam themselves, they can really get you over any hurdles of the PMP process.

What is PMP Certification?

Getting the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is a two-part process. First, there is an application that you need to submit to the Project Management Institute (PMI). The application requires you to document 4500 hours of time working on projects within the last eight years. Additionally, you should have completed 35 hours of project management-related training or education. PMI details everything in full in their handbook.

If you think you meet these requirements, then you can submit your application from the section of the PMI website. The online application has an auto-save function so you can come back to it. Once submitted, an employee of the Project Management Institute will review your application. Typically, the reviewer takes about five business days to review your application. Once approved, you will receive an e-mail from PMI. In the email will be an eligibility code. You will need this code to pay for and schedule your exam with Prometric Testing Center.

What is the Project Management Institute (PMI)?

Founded in 1969, The Project Management Institute has the following stated core belief:

Project management is a critical competence that has a positive influence on organizational results and society.

To build a community of professionals with these critical competency standards, PMI developed the PMP exam in 1984. Currently, there are almost 750,000 PMP credential holders globally

How is the PMP exam administered?

The PMP exam is a non-adaptive, computer based exam of 200 multiple choice questions. Administered by an independent testing administrator (Prometric), each exam question has one correct answer. You have four hours to complete the exam. Most test-takers finish the exam with a little time to spare. Each question has a level of difficulty assigned to it by PMI. The “mix” of difficult and easy questions determines how many questions you need to answer correctly. At the end of the four hours, your exam will be graded immediately and you will receive your scores. The scores are the following:

  • Below Proficient
  • Moderately Proficient
  • Proficient
It is possible to receive a below proficient score in one area and still pass. However, you will need to offset that below proficient score with higher scores in all other areas.

How much does the PMP exam cost?

The exam costs $405 for PMI members and $555 for non-members. The annual fee for PMI membership is $139, so you save a few dollars if you become a member and then schedule your exam.

How should I study for the PMP exam?

Close to 70% of exam questions come directly from the PMBOK® Guide, which stands for Project Management Body of Knowledge. Right now, all PMP exams are based on the 6th edition of the PMBOK® Guide,. This edition has a blue cover to it and can be bought online for less than $60 USD. A successful study plan would be the following:

  • Read the PMBOK® Guide,
  • Download a PDF version of our free textbook before registering.
  • Attend an EdWel boot camp
  • Use our exam simulator to take a few practice exams
  • If you score above 75% on our practice exams, you are ready to take the exam

How much time should I devote to studying?

Before attending an Edwel PMP boot camp, we recommend 10-12 hours of pre-class reading. Add in the 35 hours of classroom instruction and we guarantee you will pass the exam.
