ITonlinelearning's online tutor-led PMP course is designed for the IT Professional wanting to learn techniques and knowledge to take their project manager skills to a greater depth.

PMP and PRINCE are the most widely recognised Project Management certifications globally.

PMP can offer considerable benefits and knowledge to Project Managers (even if you are PRINCE2 certified).

Whereas PRINCE2 is methodology based, PMP is more focussed on the skillset and situation handling needed to be a highly effective Project Manager. PRINCE2 and PMP are highly complementary and are not competing methodologies as some PMs think.

PMP can be summarised as an approach that provides information on what a project manager needs to know whereas PRINCE2 demonstrates how to apply this knowledge.

PMP is techniques based and consists of tools and techniques of project management as well as recommended best practice. PRINCE2 on the other hand is a clear methodology.

Who is it for?

Project Managers wanting to develop their project management skills to a greater depth with improved techniques and of course Project Managers wanting to gain the widely recognised PMP Certification.

Description

PRINCE2 may be the de-facto standard methodology in the UK and many Project Managers may find it very difficult to source work in the UK without being PRINCE2 certified (especially in the Public Sector where PRINCE2 is almost mandatory).

However, PMP adds greater depth to your skillset, compliments your PRINCE2 certification and helps you differentiate yourself in the job market from PRINCE2 Project Managers applying for the same roles.

Even if you are not looking to become PMP certified, you will find great value in going through the PMP course.

Requirements

Between 4500 and 7500 project management experience (depending on degree), our Advisors can advise with this.
