PMI - PMP Certification - Benefits
PMI's PMP credential is considered by many as the 'gold standard' of global project management certification. This credential, which is ISO 9001: 2000 compliant, connotes the holder as one who has demonstrated the knowledge, experience and leadership skills required to competently practice project management.
Attaining PMI's Project Management Professional Certification offers project managers a wide range of important benefits. The PMP designation following your name demonstrates to current and potential employers that you possess a solid foundation of experience and education in project management that can have a positive impact on bottom-line results. In fact, the certification exam is so important that many project managers are required by their companies to become certified in order to retain their positions. Many who achieve the certification have received raises, bonuses or promotions as a result. In fact, salaries of PMP Certified Project Managers are on average about 20% higher than similarly qualified Project Managers who do not have the prestigious PMP credential.
Benefits of attaining the PMP Certification include
- Increased job/consulting opportunities that require/desire the certification
- Advancement in the profession of project management
- Expand your knowledge base and professional contacts by networking with other successful PMPs
- Significantly improve your project management capabilities
- Embrace a structured discipline proven successful for other project managers
- Enhance your earning-power
About the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) credential
Considered an essential step for project team members, the CAPM credential can benefit a wide range of individuals who want to demonstrate a comprehensive and consistent understanding of the application of their work. By gaining knowledge of project management processes and terminology, project team members can enhance their contributions to the team's success.
The CAPM is designed for project team members who provide subject matter expertise (e.g. marketing, finance, customer care, processing, fulfilment), or serve as project team sponsors, facilitators, liaisons or coordinators.

PMI - PMP Certification - Exam Track
The PMP Examination measures the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques that are utilized in the practice of project management and is based on the PMP Examination Specification that details the percentage of questions contained in each performance domain (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Controlling, Closing, and Professional and Social Responsibility).
The examination is comprised of 200 multiple-choice questions, of which 25 are considered pretest questions. Pretest questions are randomly placed throughout the exam and do not effect 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.
PMP Examination questions are:
- Developed and validated by global work groups of content experts
- Referenced to current resources from project management textbook sources
- Monitored through psychometric analysis, and
- To satisfy the test specifications of a job analysis
The passing score for the PMP Examination is determined by a criterion-referenced approach called the Modified Angoff Technique, a certification industry standard practice relying on the collective judgments of groups of PMP certificants from around the globe.
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.
Attention: the examination fee is not included in the course costs.

PMI - PMP Certification - Prerequisites
To obtain the PMP credential, candidates must first demonstrate eligibility by meeting the following requirements:
- non-degree education: 7,500 hours of project management experience; 60 unique (non-overlapping) months of project management experience within the eight-year period prior to the application; 35 contact hours of project management education
- For candidates with a degree; 4,500 hours of project management experience; 36 unique (non-overlapping) months of project management experience within the eight-year period prior to the application; 35 contact hours of project management education
About the 35 contact hours
Candidates have to document 35 contact hours of project management education/training. One contact hour is equal to one hour of participation in an educational activity. These hours must be related to project management and can include content on project quality, scope, time, cost, human resources, communications, risk, procurement, or integration management. Courses, workshops and training sessions in one or more of the following categories satisfy the education requirement:
- Courses or programs offered by PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s)
- University/college academic and continuing education programs
- Courses or programs offered by PMI Component organizations*
- Courses or programs offered by employer/company-sponsored programs
- Courses or programs offered by distance-learning companies and demonstration that course requirements were completed successfully, including an end of course assessment.
- Courses or programs offered by training companies or consultants
The following education does not satisfy the education requirements:
- PMI Chapter meetings
- Self-study (e.g. reading books)
We interview all applicants for the course on their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and general suitability. If you get through this screening process, it means you stand a great chance of passing.
Firebrand Training is an immersive training environment. You must be committed to the course. The above prerequisites are guidelines, but many students with less experience have other background or traits that have enabled their success in accelerated training through Firebrand Training.

Neil Berry, Rolls-Royce plc.
PMI Project Management Professional (5 Days) (10/12/2007 to 14/12/2007)
"The PMP course was the most intensive learning experience I have ever encountered. Be prepared for long days (and nights!!) as this is a "cramming" course designed to get you through the PMP exam. The course itself is well designed to get you through the exam and the tutor was a knowledgable project manager who was well versed in the way PMI set their questions. I put in the work from Sunday through Thursday and passed the exam on Friday. Many thanks to Firebrand for organising a great venue at Eynsham Hall and to Geoff Filbey for his help and guidance in passing the exam.
Based on this experience I will certainly treat Firebrand as my initial reference point when considering future training requirements."
