As the demand for skilled project managers is critically urgent, practitioners who hold the PMP certification are well-positioned to provide the professional skills necessary to lead teams and achieve successful project results. In addition, the PMP certification recognizes an individual's competence to perform in the role of a project manager, specifically experience in leading and directing projects. Year after year, the PMP certification has garnered global recognition and commanded a higher salary for certified individuals over non-certified individuals.

The PMP certification delivers value far into your career. CIO magazine ranked the PMP as the top project management certification because it proves you have the specific skills and experience employers seek. According to PMI, PMP certification holders report earning up to 25% more than non-certified project professionals.

Though you can study and prepare for the PMP exam on your own, Learning Tree's PMP certification exam prep course helps you prepare for success in two critical ways:

Our expert instructors will guide you in designing a personal study plan tailored to your needs so that you can prep with confidence — a real differentiator among PMP classes.

Attendees of this course's standard, government, or premium versions receive a copy of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Eighth Edition.

According to PMI, the PMP exam is not written according to any single text or singularly supported by any reference. Instead, the exam is based on the PMP certification exam content outline (ECO), not the (PMBOK® Guide) or other reference books. A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Eighth Edition is now a reference to inform the development of the exam items; however, the references indicated by PMI are not inclusive of all resources that may be utilized to prepare for the exam and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed means of passing the exam.

The PMBOK® Guide — Eighth Edition is available in digital format as part of a PMI membership.
