If you are preparing to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification exam, you may decide that you need some extra assistance in reviewing all the material. Varsity Tutors can help by enrolling you in a Richmond PMP certification course. You'll find that having a PMP certification can benefit you in many ways, such as when you are trying to land a specific job or negotiating for a promotion with your current employer.
It is important to understand which prerequisites are required for the PMP certification before you take the test. First, you'll need to have either a four-year degree or a secondary degree. No matter which degree you have, you're going to need to have 35 hours of project management education. A secondary degree requires that you also have 7,500 hours of experience in leading and directing projects in a professional environment. If you hold a four-year degree, you must have 4,500 hours of experience.
Knowing what to expect when you sit down for the certification exam can be helpful when you begin preparing for it. The test has 200 multiple-choice questions and takes four hours to complete. The questions that are asked will go over more than 40 responsibilities, or "tasks", that are related to project management. Some of these may include integration management, stakeholder management, or time management planning.
When completing your degree program at a school such as the University of Richmond, you learned a lot of important project management-related knowledge. In your career, you've picked up a lot more information through hands-on experience. However, sometimes there will be concepts on the exam that you may not regularly use. This is one reason why it's important to review for the test. During a Richmond PMP course, your instructor is not only available to help explain the format of the test, but also to help you shore up your understanding of the different topics that you'll be tested on.
Through lectures, discussions, and learning exercises, your instructor is able to help you review the material and deepen your comprehension. The interactivity of the course will allow you to communicate directly with your instructor and the other students, so if you have a question, you can ask it. On the other hand, if you have expertise in a subject that someone else might be having a difficult time understanding, you can offer them your own unique perspective. By sharing your knowledge with your peers and letting them help you in the same fashion, everyone gets the chance to learn more. You can also request that your instructor spend some one-on-one time with you if you find that you need a more personalized approach to a certain topic like virtual/remote team management.
If you are worried about the amount of time that you'll have to set aside for studying, you might find Richmond PMP certification training even more beneficial, because it's an entirely online environment that cuts out the need for a long commute. New sections begin each month, and you can choose if you'd like to participate in a course that lasts for two weeks or four weeks. With sections happening on different days at different times, it's even easier for you to work these classes into your schedule because you can pick out a section that best matches the schedule you've built.
When you decide it's time to begin reviewing the concepts you'll need to learn for the test, enrolling in a Richmond PMP certification class can provide you with many different perks that you won't necessarily get if you choose to study by yourself. Your virtual class, your instructor, and your peers are all able to offer advantages that will help you reach for your goals and feel more confident about taking the certification exam.
