why dont just spill the details here?

Hi Alaskanbunny,

The PMP course is not hours based. You get to attend normal class/ extra class/ revision class without extra cost. The speed of the class will be based on the group members. And its flexible. The course fee is reasonable. No hidden charges. Valid until you pass the exam.

The tutor have more than 6 years experience in teaching PMP. Free consultation can be arranged.

If interested, PM me the details and I will get the tutor to call you personally.

Hope this helps.

btw, are u into eng. or it?

ive got the pmbok ady ...... but from some reading on the net ... most of them are not really advised to concentrate on the pmbok ... but some of them saying have to read through all the chapter 2 or 3 times

hmmmm .. am from IT bro .. what about you ?? my material is only the notes from the class ...... and some online material and a book from Rita Mulcahy .. the famous girl which having an 18 yrs of experience.... unlike PMBOK ... this book will thoroughly guide you on how to prepare for the exam ... a noob like me need more material like this .. but sure .. your real life PM experience will help you ...

I just took my PMP Exam Prep and planning to take the plunge (exam) next January.
Anyone planning to take too? I am looking for anyone who are willing to share the cost to buy that Rita Mucahy book

*it's RM300 plus btw

i am planning to take both pmp and rmp... dont know whether i have the time to study or not... scary...

you in SG? (based on your signature there). I took the course there last month.

When you plan to take?

yeaps, sg.. i am planning to take early next year... have to see whether my other course is taking time...


where did you take it from? i know so far erc and another classmate is teaching both pmp and rmp

does it help? in work i mean

shin-chan, for me it really does.

alaskabunny, i went to ESI International, 111 Somerset.

I want to buy the Rita Mulcahy PMP 6th edition but not available in KL. Have you seen it in SG?

nope, i am using project management a managerial approach 7th ed, jack r. meredith and samuel j. mantel

Hi all. I am graduating from university majoring in mechanical engineering soon.

I am sure that most of you have experience as a fresh graduate trying to get your career stated in this direction.

Mind to share your experiences with me? Thanks

are you saying toward Project Mgmt direction?

you can read here what's the reuquirement
http://www.pmi.org/Certification.aspx

so you can align towards it

cheers

if you're heading towards engineering... gain some experience first before enrolling for any project management course... it will help a lot

Eh, PMP needs degree and like 4500 hours of managing projects then only can take, no? that's like 1.5-2.5 years.

it's 4,500 non overlapping hour's. You must be realistic as well to include annual leave, public holidays & weekends.
And daily realistically 8 hours.

So let's say 1 year left only 365 - 130 = 235

Hours = 235 x 8 = 1880

So 4500/1880 ~ 2.5 years onwards

just completed my PMP during fasting month ... what i would say ... the exam is easy for those who can shape their mind as a real PM ... even those who work as a PM but without applying the right 'attitude' will have some issues on this

my preparation is pure simple :

1. RITA book
- starting with the light reading and towards to the end I am more concentrate on dealing to understand the key point of each Knowledge Process)
- this book is more detail ... and most of the time u will find a lot of negativity on her words ... but just dont put too much attention to it..
- good exercise on each chaps .. try to get at least 70 - 80 % on each process knowledge and you're good to go for the exam

2. Head First PMP
- This one is really recommended for those who just about to start ur exam journey ... simple explanation compared to RITA's .... but some chaps are just too simple and you're still be needed to read RITA to get full understanding of some concept.
- 1 thing I like about this books is the pictorial explanation which not much can be seen on RITA's

3. PMBOK4
- TBH .. .im not reading much and I dont think I ever fully read this book.. just using the glossary for some of the acronyms used on the books above ...

4. PREP TEST
- towards the end of my preparations .. i took a lot of exams ...... either free or not ... im highly recommending for pmstudy.com test ... i bought all 4 tests for my very last prep-test and ive found the exam question are more similar to what ive found on test.
- this really helps me as i can really identify my weakness .... dont remember too much ...... i just remember the page 44 on PMBOK
- by doing so... i can understand the ITTO being used on each knowledge process and PM framework. ........ n finally .. register urself at pmzilla.com .. there's a lot of Lesson learnt from those who failed or passed the exam .... and plus .. a lot of simplified note for u to download n read......

SUMMARY
i know all these because i didnt go for any actual classes .. all i did is registered myself for pm-prepcast for 100 USD ony .. just for me to get the 35 hrs PDU .... which i used for my pmp eligibility application ..

plus im not a PM .. just having enough hours for the involvement in project..... total of my investment is not less than RM 2000 including exam + internet course + some paid test and most of the test are available for free in the net.....

last but not least .. register urself as PMI member first as you can save around 20 - 30 USD when u want to apply for the exam (one of the benefit is you can access their free virtual library).... and it is not as hard as you think ... dont stress urself for remembering the key point ... please put more on understanding on the whole concept and it will do wonders for you guys ...

good luck to all PMP aspirant .... cheers
