Project Management Institute's® (PMI®) Project Management Professional® (PMP®) Certification Exam - Understanding this test and the next
The Project Management Institute® (PMI®) awards Project Management Professional® (PMP®) certifications to those individuals who:
- Demonstrate prior formal education
- Demonstrate background in the project management field,
- Have 35 contact hours of training, and
- Pass the PMP® Certification Exam.
What does the PMP® Certification exam cover?
Extensive information on the PMP® Certification exam can be found on PMI's web site (www.pmi.org). Overall it boils down to two primary areas of study. One is general business knowledge that an experienced manager, generally educated in basic business principals could be expected to know. The other area of study is the PMI® Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide® (PMBOK® Guide).
What's a PMBOK® Guide? Are there various versions?
The PMBOK® Guide is a publication of the PMI®. It is a culmination of project management knowledge and research organized into focus areas of the discipline. To pass the PMP® Certification exam a candidate must be very familiar with the organization and content of this publication. PMI has just released the third version of this work.
What PMBOK® Guide should I use to study for the exam? The current one, right?
PMI, through late September 2005 tested PMP® candidates over the PMBOK® Guide (2nd edition). If you sat for that exam and did not pass the exam, you may retake the exam based upon that text. Beginning September 30, 2005, PMI begins testing on the PMBOK® Guide Third Edition.
