Description
The Project Management Fast Track is a hands-on program that is aligned with the Project Management
Institute’s (PMI) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). This program is
designed to help you understand and pull together all the knowledge areas and processes of project
management necessary to plan and execute, control and close
successful projects.
A case study is threaded throughout the program, and includes activities (development of many of the
planning deliverables and more), which enable participants to apply the lessons learned in the units to
the projects they are currently on. The curriculum is presented in a dual fashion; the theory of PMI is
balanced by the reality of the course instructors’ project management experiences. The dual approach
provides the student learner with real examples of the theory of PMI. There are numerous discussion
topics throughout, along with exercises to reinforce what participants have learned in the classroom,
which translates into opportunities for incorporation of improved practices into your current projects.
Quizzes, also called knowledge checks, are given after lessons to measure the students’ progress.
PMP® certification process
If you are interested in obtaining your PMP certification, the Project Management Fast Track course can
help you achieve that, as the program includes a Project Management Professional® (PMP) Prep
component to prepare you for PMP certification. Additionally, a 100-question practice PMP certification
exam is included and, upon successful completion of this course, you will have acquired the required 35
education hours that are required for taking the PMP certification exam. See the diagram below for an in-
depth roadmap to PMP certification through the Project Management Fast Track course.
