Day Course

PMI - PMP Certification - Overview

Seven reasons why you should take your PMP with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be PMP certified in just 5 days. With us, you’ll be PMP trained in record time
  2. Our PMP course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, accommodation and meals.
  3. Pass PMP first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your PMP course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more PMP. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn PMP faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying PMP with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study PMP courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

"Really great experience. Everything was working well from the beginning. Great lecturer - really knew his stuff." Rob Nixon (Firebrand PMP certified)

PMI - PMP Certification - Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

PMI - PMP Certification - Exam Track

You can choose to prepare for, and test in, either the PMP or CAPM exam:

  • The PMP exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, of which 25 are considered pretest questions. Pre-test questions are randomly placed throughout the exam and do not affect the candidate's score. They are used in examinations as an effective and legitimate way to increase the number of future examination questions. The allotted time to complete the examination is four hours. The four-hour examination is preceded by a 15-minute computer tutorial, which is not part of the allotted four hours
  • Upon registering for a course, a Firebrand Training customer service representative will guide you through the examination enrollment process. Once your application has been processed, if eligible, you will receive an eligibility letter (via e-mail) directly from the Project Management Institute. Test candidates have one (1) year from the date their application is approved and processed to take the examination. This date is printed at the top of the first page of the candidate's eligibility letter. Candidates may take the exam a maximum of three times within their eligibility period
  • PMP candidates who pass the exam may use the credential as long as they comply with the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. The CCR program supports PMPs in developing their professional knowledge and maintaining their credentials by requiring participation in activities during the CCR cycle, which are assigned a PDU value
  • The CAPM exam is a 3 hour multiple choice exam consisting of 150 questions

Attention: the examination fee is not included in the course costs
