Notes
In addition to the PMI-provided course workbooks and course slides, Procept supplements the materials with these additional items:
Procept's Project Management Experience Organizer – This tool is designed for project managers preparing to take the PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP) exam. The time-saving spreadsheet helps you organize the information required to complete the exam application.
Post-class access to Procept’s own online PMP Exam Simulator – Our practice exam simulator has a question bank with hundreds of questions. Each time someone attempts a practice exam, the simulator randomly selects 200 questions from the question bank, reflecting the topics on the real PMP exam. The simulator times the exam, giving one the same time limits as the real PMP exam, allowing for a more realistic practice experience. We also provide access to our Agile Exam Simulator, which separates the agile questions into a separate simulated test, allowing you to focus your study efforts effectively.
PMP Quick Study Flash Cards – A set of flash cards in electronic format that the students can print out and use to help them memorize and study key formulas, definitions, and other topics on the PMP exam.
Access to Procept’s Members Portal that contains free resources, including project management templates organized by project lifecycle phase; articles on project management, change management, leadership, agile & lean management, and IT management; case studies; 50+ videos; 85+ recorded webinars; and much more.
