Two paths to qualify. Pick yours.
PMI requires three things: project leadership hours, 35 hours of PM education, and a passing exam score. Your degree determines how many leadership months you need.
Documented project leadership experience accumulated over the last 8 years.
Same documentation, longer minimum window. The rest of the application is identical.
Application support is bundled with every class. Your instructor walks you through project-experience write-ups, hour totals, and audit prep if PMI selects you.
100% money-back, and exactly what we mean by it.
If you don't pass the PMP after three attempts within 120 days of your live class ending, we refund the full enrollment amount.

Questions students always ask.
Is the PMP certification worth it?
For most project managers with 3+ years of experience, yes. PMP-certified professionals earn an average of $112,000 annually in the U.S. (roughly 20% more than non-certified peers), and the credential is recognized globally. The trade-off is real: 36 months of documented project leadership, 35 contact hours, and the $555 exam fee (non-PMI members). If you're early-career or in a role where the credential isn't part of the hiring conversation, the math gets thinner.
How long does it take to get PMP certification?
Typically 3 to 6 months from when you decide to pursue it. The path: meet eligibility (36 months of project leadership if you have a bachelor's, 60 months without), complete 35 contact hours of formal education (the class itself satisfies this), pass PMI's application review (1–5 days normally, longer if audited), then take the exam. Most candidates spend 6–12 weeks studying after the class before testing.
How hard is the PMP certification exam?
Difficult, but pass-able with focused prep. The exam is 180 questions over 230 minutes (with two 10-minute breaks) and the global first-attempt pass rate hovers around 61%. The hardest piece for most candidates isn't the content. It's the scenario-style questions that test how you'd act, not what you've memorized. Practitioners with real leadership experience tend to find this easier than candidates relying on study guides alone.
How much does a PMP bootcamp cost?
Tuition for our live PMP certification course is $1,095, and it's the same price in every format: 5-day, weekend, or weekly mornings and evenings. That covers the 35 contact hours, the practice-exam portal with 1,000+ questions, PMI application help, office hours with your instructor, and the pass-or-money-back guarantee. The PMP exam fee is separate and paid to PMI: about $405 for members and $555 for non-members. Tuition plus that fee is the real total.
Does this PMP course include the 35 contact hours, and how fast can I get them?
Yes. PMI requires 35 contact hours of project management education before you can apply, and this class includes all 35. You receive the Certificate of Completion when the class ends. The fastest route is the 5-day bootcamp: start Monday, finish Friday, apply to PMI that weekend. The two-weekend bootcamp finishes in eight days. The weekly morning and evening PMP classes online spread the same 35 hours over about six weeks.
Is this a live class with an instructor, or an on-demand course?
Live, with a real instructor. Every session is taught in real time by a PMI Authorized Training Partner instructor, with Q&A and breakouts. On-demand PMP courses cost less, and plenty of people start one and stall. A live instructor answers the question you actually have, keeps you on a schedule, and works through the exam's scenario questions with you. The self-paced piece here is the practice portal, which you use between sessions.
PMP bootcamp or self-study: which is better?
Self-study can work if you're disciplined, already speak PMI's vocabulary, and have months to spare. It also leaves the 35 contact hours unsolved, because reading a book doesn't count. A bootcamp gets you the hours, a structured path through the exam content outline, and someone to ask when a practice question makes no sense. Our guarantee is built on that structure: do the work, and if you don't pass after three attempts, you get your money back.
What instructor support do I get during and after the class?
Office hours and direct Q&A with your live instructor between sessions. Not a bot, not a TA queue. After the last session you keep the student portal and the practice exams, and we help with your PMI application. The money-back guarantee covers three attempts in the 120 days after your class ends, so the whole plan is built around you passing in that window.
Does this class work for agile practitioners, or someone with a CSM?
Well. PMI says about half of the current PMP exam covers agile and hybrid approaches, so a Scrum background is an advantage, not a detour. The class spends its time on what agile practitioners usually lack: predictive planning, PMI's vocabulary, and how the exam expects you to act in each scenario.
Which PMP class format is best for busy professionals?
The one you'll actually show up for. Weekday mornings run before work. Weekday evenings run after dinner. The weekend bootcamp leaves your workweek untouched. The 5-day intensive clears it in one week. Every format covers the same content, the same 35 contact hours, and the same guarantee, so choose by calendar, not by content. All upcoming PMP class dates are listed on this page.
Who teaches the class, and is it PMI-authorized?
Every session is taught live by a PMI Authorized Training Partner instructor, working from PMI's own curriculum. Classes are small by design, so you can ask questions, join breakouts, and get instructor attention.
How does the money-back guarantee actually work?
If you don't pass after three attempts within 120 calendar days of your live class ending, we refund the full amount you paid. To qualify: attend in full, complete every practice exam and quiz, and receive your Certificate of Completion before your first attempt.
What's included in the tuition?
Live online instruction (35 contact hours), course materials and slides, the practice-exam portal with 1,000+ questions, office hours with your instructor, PMI application help, and the pass-or-money-back guarantee. The PMI exam fee is paid separately to PMI.
Is the exam voucher included?
No. The PMP exam fee is paid directly to PMI when you submit your application: about $405 for PMI members, about $555 for non-members. We do not mark this up.
Do I need my PMP already to take this class?
No. This class prepares you to take the PMP exam. You'll need to meet PMI's eligibility requirements and submit your application before testing.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Checkout supports a split-payment option for U.S.-based learners. For invoicing or PO-based purchases (employer-paid), email us and we'll send a quote, W-9 and invoice.
Can I get my employer to pay for this?
Most employers reimburse PMP training as professional development. We provide invoices, W-9s, and corporate purchase-order support on request. Many students have their tuition reimbursed in full.
Different dates & formats. Same content, same guarantee.
