  • We strongly recommend that you set your computer monitor's screen resolution to 1024 x 768 to enable you to view all the course features without scrolling.
     
  • We also recommend that you set your browser to Full Screen (View, Full Screen) to enable you to view the entire page without scrolling.
     
  • The streaming video is played using Macromedia Flash technology. Your browser must be set to enable the running of Flash, as well as JavaScript and I-Frames, which are normally default conditions with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
     
  • The Hot Topics feature is also a Macromedia Flash application. You must have Flash installed in your browser to use this feature.

Course Organization
 

Each lesson is organized in the same way:

  • An introductory video by the course's author, Rita Mulcahy, who describes the significance of the lesson's subject to the exam-taker, and provides examples and tips on what to focus on to be successful.

  • The interactive tutorial that describes and defines the project management terms and principles of each knowledge area using interactive games, tips and tricks.

  • A scored multiple-choice quiz that checks your understanding of the topics covered in the tutorial.

  • Hot Topics—a timed and audio-narrated deck of flashcards test your ability to quickly respond to the wide range of questions that you can expect to see on the timed exam.

Other Course Features

  • The My Gaps online notebook feature is used to record all of the "Gaps" in your knowledge, i.e., areas you identify that require further study. This feature uses cookies to save your personal course notes to your hard drive. Consequently, cookies must be enabled in your browser.
     
  • Study Groups is a feature that enables you to read, post and reply to messages to and from other students. Use it to ask questions of the hundreds of other students who are taking this course while you are or to help others with difficult content areas. It must not be used to discuss specific questions found on the real PMP exam, as that would violate PMI rules.
     
  • Chat is a feature that enables students to conduct online, real-time discussion with other students. The time and day of the real-time chat must be coordinated with the other student(s), typically through the Study Groups message board.
     
  • Practice PMP Exams are available at any time in the course and are accesed via the Lesson drop-down menu at the upper right portion of each lesson page.

Navigation
 

We highly recommend that the first time through the course that you begin with Lesson 1 and proceed through each subsequent lesson to the end of the course. Multiple navigation options such as jumping to a particular topic within a lesson or jumping to a lesson out of sequence should only be used after your initial time through the course.

Certificate of Completion

At the end of the last lesson, you'll be asked to complete an end-of-course survey. Completion of that survey indicates to us that you've completed all the the course activities and have satisfied the 35 hours of instruction required for the associated CEUs from PMI. When you complete this requirement, you are eligible to apply to PMI to receive the CEUs.
