Project Management Training and PMP® Certification Exam Prep

PMI Authorized Training Provider (ATP) -- Delivering PMP® and CAPM® training since 2009

PTI's live, interactive 35-hour PMP® exam prep class is the best way to prepare for your PMP or CAPM certification exam.

The Project Management Institute's Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is a globally recognized credential that reflects your knowledge, skills, and ability to produce project results. CIO magazine ranked the PMP as the top project management certification. Indeed.com placed the PMP certification as one of the most valuable in its list. Certified PMPs report earning up to 25% more than non-certified project management professionals.

Many providers of PMP prep training do not specialize in project management education. PTI is the best choice in Charlotte, North Carolina for PMP prep because we are narrowly focused on project management training and we are a PMP certification preparation training provider that is an Authorized Training Partner (ATP) with the Project Management Institute. Additionally, we keep our PMP prep class sizes small and our pricing for PMP certification preparation is always competitive. More details about our PMP certification exam preparation course features are below.

(1) Understand in depth the Project Management Professional (PMP®) or Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) exam format and question types.

(2) Understand in depth the project management domains (People, Process, Business Environment), process groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Closing, and Monitoring and Controlling) and knowledge areas (management of Integration, Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resources, Communications, Risk, Procurement, Stakeholders) tested on the PMP® and CAPM® certification exams.

If, for some unlikely reason we do need to cancel (e.g. instructor takes ill at the last minute), we will refund your deposit plus 50% (i.e. $375) or match your deposit for a future class (i.e. extra $250 credit) according to your wishes.
Pass Guarantee -- We cannot guarantee that you will pass. However, if you attend all class sessions and sit for the CAPM® or PMP® exam within 60 days of taking our PMP exam prep course and do not pass, you may take the course again for free. For students attending project management training classes in person at our training center, we will also pay your CAPM® or PMP® reexamination fee (up to $275).
Cancellation/Refund Policy -- You can cancel your course for a full refund if you do so at least 30 days before the course start date or within 24 hours of registering. Otherwise, a $299.00 cancellation fee will apply.

* A note about passing rates: Many PMP® prep course providers advertise a passing rate of 95% or 97% or even 99%! The PMP exam is a very challenging exam so you should be suspicious of any providers advertising extremely high passing rates -- they are not being truthful. Ask them to explain how they calculate such a high pass rate and be ready to be entertained by their creative explanations! We offer a real guarantee and we will show you what you need to do to pass on your first attempt.
