While strictly covering the ECO (exam content outline), our experienced, certified instructor facilitate class discussions, activities and use case studies to bring the material to life in real project environments. The training is intended to be as interactive as possible and give the possibility to exchange, discuss examples. Our live training courses are supplemented with an exam simulation tool – X-AM (PMI-ACP®) which includes approximately 700 test questions. In parallel, as well as after the workshops, the participants are requested to intensively work on the PMI® specific contents with the help of the training material, and the exam simulator X-AM. It is strongly recommended to take the exam latest 4-6 weeks after the last course day. The training is held in English; the course material is available in English as well. Our instructor will be available to accompany and coach you until you receive your PMI-ACP® certification.
