PMI-PMOCP validates expertise in establishing, running and optimising a Project Management Office (PMO). The Project Companion PMI-PMOCP track provides 35 contact hours of PMO-focused training.

The PMP, PgMP and PMI-PMOCP tracks each provide 35 contact hours of project management training; the CAPM track provides 23 — meeting PMI's education requirement for each certification.

Complete the 35-hour course covering the people, process and business-environment domains, follow a prep plan built around your exam date, then confirm you are ready with practice mock exams and an exam-readiness check before you sit the real exam.

A prep plan turns your training into a guided, day-by-day timeline built around your target exam date, so you always know what to study next and keep your momentum through to exam day.

The Exam Readiness check uses your practice-exam results to gauge how prepared you are and highlights the domains where you are strongest and weakest, so you can focus your remaining study time where it matters most.
