Vitesse – OTI's exhaustive and re-designed PMP Examination Preparation Courses start Monday, June 14, 2010. The three-week course is best suited for project managers seeking PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP) certification but is also applicable for preparing for the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) exam.

There will be two instructor-led courses during the same three-week timeframe: one running in the afternoons (1:00-5:00 pm) and one in the evenings (6:00-10:00 pm) every other day (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). The 12 modules of PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK Guide) are covered in nine sessions. The courses are taking place in our newly set-up, more spacious classroom at Suite 210, 359 Terry Fox Drive, Kanata. Participants will receive 36 hours of instruction by our trainers and a certificate from Vitesse-OTI, which is one of the pre-requisites for taking the PMP credential exam. Thanks to our volunteer instructors and staff, as well as the sponsoring organization (Vitesse Re-Skilling Canada), these courses are being offered below cost, which is a substantial reduction from the market price for similar offerings (ranging up to several thousand dollars).

1st Wed: Integration Management(2)
1st Fri: Project Scope Management (3)

2nd Mon: Project Time Management (4)

The course fee of $195.00 includes 36 hours of instruction (to all 12 modules of the 4th edition of PMBoK Guide), all course materials, course certificate, registration costs and GST. The courses do not include the PMBoK Guide, PMI membership or registration for the exam. To be eligible for the PMP exam, you will need a combination of a high school or bachelor's degree, 3-5 years of project management experience and 35 hours of project management training. Please see http://www.pmi.org/CareerDevelopment/Pages/AboutCredentialsPMP.aspx for details. No project management experience is necessary for the CAPM exam.
