PMP (Project Management Professional) Online Training & Certification Prep
Earn PMI's globally recognized Project Management Professional credential with a structured 35-contact-hour program that satisfies the mandatory education requirement and prepares you for every domain on the current PMP exam—People, Process, and Business Environment.
Course Overview
The Project Management Professional (PMP) is the world’s leading project management certification, administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). It validates your ability to lead projects using predictive, agile, and hybrid approaches—a balance that mirrors how most organizations deliver work today.
Boost eLearning’s PMP prep program delivers the 35 contact hours of project management education required by PMI as part of the PMP eligibility criteria. Every hour is mapped to PMI’s Examination Content Outline across three domains: People, Process, and Business Environment. Roughly half of the exam content reflects agile or hybrid delivery, so the course dedicates substantial time to Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, and hybrid frameworks alongside traditional waterfall techniques.
Courses are available as self-paced online, live-virtual instructor-led, and on-site classroom formats, all facilitated by Certified Partner instructors with active PMP credentials and real-world delivery experience. The curriculum aligns to the current PMBOK Guide (7th Edition) and the Agile Practice Guide, reflecting PMI’s principle-based rather than purely process-based approach.
Boost eLearning’s Skills-Retention design reinforces learning through scenario-based exercises, chapter reviews, and full-length practice exams that mirror the situational judgment style of PMP questions. Upon passing your exam, you earn 30 PDUs toward the 60 required for each three-year PMP renewal cycle—making this course useful well beyond exam day.
The program is backed by our Pass Guarantee: if you meet the study requirements and do not pass on your first attempt, we will provide additional preparation support at no extra cost. With eligibility verification, application guidance, and post-exam PDU planning built in, this is an end-to-end path to your PMP credential.
