Before you start
This is an advanced course. It helps to have worked on projects already, as the lessons assume you know how a project runs day to day. PMI sets its own rules on who can sit the PMP exam, based on your education, project experience and project management training. Check pmi.org to confirm you meet them before you book. The course is long and covers a lot of ground, so plan regular study time and use the example questions after each topic to test yourself.
