The globally renowned project management credential is one of the 8 professional credentials offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). One of the prerequisites to obtain the PMP is to undergo a mandatory 35-hour PMP Training. Currently, there are 3 distinct pathways approved by the PMI, you can choose to get the required Professional Development Units (PDUs) – classroom training, online self-training, and online instructor-led training. In the following write-up we will be discussing, everything there is to know about online training.

A new approach to get the certification training

With the launch in 2010, the online certification training has increased its demand. These online training programs for PMP Certification are delivered through over the web, which the candidate can have access to anywhere, as long as they have a healthy internet connection. Since candidates seek flexible time for their training programs, online training programs let candidates go through the lectures whenever they want to.

What are the advantages of taking an online training program?

• Price: The basic concept of the online certification training program is actually a digital product, where its costs will not change. As compared to classroom training, the online training program has a significantly lower price rate. An online training program is comparatively 50-60% lower than other modes of training programs.

• Self-paced: Since the majority of the aspiring PMP candidates are working professionals, they have limited time to go through the PMP Course. Also, enrolling in a classroom certification training program can be time-consuming and tiring, which can make it tough to concentrate. All lectures of the online training program are recorded – completing the course entirely depends on the pace of the candidate.

• Discussion & Sharing: Usually there are 20 candidates present in a single batch of the classroom training programs, which makes the active discussion & view-sharing limited to these 20 candidates. On the other hand, there are thousands of PMP aspirants, who participate in forum disguising about project management concepts & terminology.

•Ease of Access: Candidates can access course material anywhere, as long as they have a good internet connection. For the classroom, training candidates are required to adjust their schedules and time to fit the time according to the training program. In the case of online training, candidates can have access to PMP or business analyst certification course, anywhere & anytime they wish to.
