We have started a new initiative: We want to help our PMP exam students tackle the PMP exam by providing a series of "Complete PMP Exam Guides" on various topics. The first article in this series has been published:

When you review the article you will see that we really tried to make it the "ultimate reference guide" for questions about earning 35 contact hours for the PMP exam. Additional guides are already in the making and will be published soon! Make sure you watch out for it.

Are you overwhelmed by The PMBOK Guide?

You don’t have to be! 

You can have a high-level, condensed, go-to reference to help you review and soak up lots of PMP concepts in a very short time.

Get out of the overwhelm and focus on the essentials!

A PMP Exam Coach (often also called a PMP Exam Tutor) focuses on the needs of the individual student. One-on-one coaching sessions are personalized and group coaching sessions focus on areas where most students usually struggle. Coach and student regularly meet to discuss progress and issues. Each student is expected to study and complete "homework" assignments in between coaching sessions. The coach acts as a guide and offers insights. The PMP Tutor and the student(s) work together as a team over the course of several weeks in order to achieve exam success.

PMP bootcamps are usually fast-paced, intensive, 3-5 day long workshops during which the PMP exam material is "crammed". The class is led by an instructor. Students attend with the goal to earn their 35 contact hours and take in the knowledge. Questions are answered during the class. Some bootcamps offer limited access to the instructor once the class ends, but most do not.

Whether you want to attend a PMP bootcamp or use a PMP Exam Coach is a very personal choice. Often it is also a question of the available budget because bootcamps usually come at a steep price while coaching can be purchased by the hour. We feel that coaching is more effective and so we do not offer bootcamps.
