Project Management Training Seminars - Tips for Certification

Many people who have worked as Project Managers, but have never taken the test to obtain their PMP Certification, believe the test will be a breeze. How wrong they are! Just by working in the project management field, one will not gain the necessary knowledge to pass the exam. Why take the test? People have many different reasons for taking the PMP

Certification exam - job requirement, education, trying to move up the corporate ladder, etc. For me, it was a way to improve my knowledge of the project management strategies and increase my income by being a certified PMP. The Project Management Institute has very specific standards they expect Project Managers to adhere to professionally and ethically. The PMP certification exam is a test to determine whether the individual taking the exam fully grasps the guidelines for managing projects. The exam is a multiple choice test which leads many people to believe that it cannot be that hard; however, knowledge of the process groups and knowledge areas along with an understanding of the interactions between them is crucial. So, how do you successfully pass the Project Management Professional Certification exam? Following are 10 tips that helped me pass the exam on my first try:

Read the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) at least three times. This may be a struggle as it is not the most exciting book to read, but as the saying goes, three times the charm.

Pay attention to the bullet points in the PMBOK. These items are being emphasized for a reason.

Definitely read the following chapters of Harold Kerzner's book "Project Management: A Systems Approach To Planning, Scheduling and Controlling":

Contracts and Procurement

Quality Management

Rita Mulcahy has several books that are excellent learning tools for passing the exam.

Know the Earned Value Management System.

Understand the flow and interactions of the process groups and knowledge areas.

Take as many practice tests as possible.

If you can afford it, take an exam prep class offered by one of PMI's authorized providers.

Try not to overdo reading too many books on project management. This tends to fill your head with way more information than you really need to pass the exam.

Always remember Project Managers are to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards.
