Course Details

Comprehensive PMP Exam Prep course covering all performance domains, principles and exam Tips & Tricks.

1. What Is the 35-Hour Course?

The 35-hour PMP course is a mandatory project management education requirement set by Project Management Institute (PMI) before you can apply for the PMP exam.

It is not optional.

You must complete it before submitting your application.

2. Why 35 Hours Matter

PMI requires formal training to ensure candidates:

  • Understand structured project management principles
  • Align with PMI terminology
  • Learn predictive, agile, and hybrid approaches
  • Develop exam-ready decision thinking

This training prepares both your application and your exam mindset.

3. What the Course Covers

A proper 35-hour PMP course, fully updated for the Exam Content Outline and PMBOK 8, includes:

  • Project management fundamentals mapped to PMBOK 8: its 6 principles, 7 performance domains, and 40 processes
  • The three 2026 exam domains with their new weightings: Process 41%, People 33%, and Business Environment 26%
  • Agile and hybrid delivery, which now shapes around 60% of the exam
  • Delivering business value, the theme that runs through the entire outline
  • Risk and procurement management, with quality now built into every domain instead of standing alone
  • Scope, schedule, and finance as connected performance domains
  • Governance, compliance, and change control
  • Stakeholder engagement, leadership, team building, and conflict resolution
  • AI and sustainability in projects, both new to PMBOK 8
  • The PMI mindset and situational reasoning that the new scenario-based and graphic-based questions reward

The course bridges PMBOK theory with the real logic of the PMP exam.

4. The PMI Mindset Component

The most critical part of the 35 hours is understanding:

  • How PMI expects you to think, not just what to memorize
  • How to read and respond to situational and scenario-based questions
  • How to prioritize collaboration and servant leadership over command and control
  • How to protect the baselines while still supporting value delivery
  • How to lead with accountability and build an empowered, high-trust team
  • How to choose the right approach for the context: predictive, agile, or hybrid
  • How to keep quality built into the work rather than inspected in at the end
  • How to weigh the business environment, stakeholders, and sustainability in every decision

It is crucial to understand PMI's mindset in order to succeed in projects and pass the exam.

5. Live vs Self-Paced Options

Our course emphasizes:
