What is it about?

The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is globally recognized and demonstrates to employers, clients and colleagues that a project manager possesses knowledge, experience and skills to successfully run a project.

Project Management Institute (PMI®) has recently changed their approach to certification. The new guidelines, particular the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) 7th Edition is not suited for self-study. With a broader focus on a variety of predictive, iterative and adaptive project management approaches, the PMP® certification preparation has become more complex and difficult. STS has created an innovative and creative learning approach. While strictly covering the ECO (exam content outline) and reflecting the material to which we have access as a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP), our experienced, certified instructors facilitate class discussions, activities and use case studies to bring the theoretical approaches to life in real project environments. Our live training courses are supplemented with extensive e-learning modules. Our courses also include access to a world-leading exam simulation tool “X-AM”, which includes about 1300 test questions and optional digital learning tools. Our instructors will be available to accompany and coach you until you receive your PMP® certification. Lessons learned and sharing experiences plays a large part in our workshops.
 

In-house course
The PMP certification preparation is also available as company-specific course, either in the
same or different format – in English, French, or German. Please do not hesitate to contact
us for further information.

Learning objectives

At the end of the training, the participants will:

• understand the framework, processes and methods according to the official PMP® Exam Content Outline and the PMI® PMP® Handbook.
• be ready to take the PMP® certification exam.

Learning journey

The public PMP certification preparation course is delivered in a blended learning format including an instructor-led trainings and a self-learning phase. The journey starts with a virtual kick-off meeting, about one week before the first day of the training. Then follows a 4-day course with individual preparation work – split into 2 blocks of 2 days. The “All inclusive” package also offers distant coaching between the self-study phase and the classroom training. The course is proposed in a hybrid format: face-to-face with the possibility to join in virtually.
