Key Consulting

With over a million Project Management Professionals worldwide, the Project Management Institute’s certification program is now a standard across all industries. Becoming a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® involves meeting certain education and experience requirements, and passing a 180-question exam. (<a href="https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/project-management-professional-handbook.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PMP Certification Handbook</a> from PMI.)

The key to passing the exam is to understand the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) view of project management.&nbsp; This means reviewing and understanding PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and the PMI Agile Practice Guide, but also becoming familiar with how PMI expects project managers to apply that knowledge.&nbsp; In most cases, this requires PMP-candidates to become familiar with new concepts during their PMP exam preparation, and/or to “unlearn” practices that they have picked up over the years.

This course provides a solid PMP prep foundation – we present and explain all the concepts you need to know.&nbsp; While other PMP training courses focus on last-minute cramming to prepare you for the exam, we assume you actually want to learn something from your PMP education.&nbsp; No pre-reading is required before taking our course, but you should be prepared to study the materials we provide – it’s a closed book exam.

<h2>Who should take this PMP Certification Prep course?</h2>

Course participants should be familiar with the certification process, and meet the PMP experience requirements prior to attending.&nbsp; You should also be reasonably familiar with modern project management techniques, as advocated by PMI, and be planning on sitting for the exam within a couple of months of completing this course.

<h2>Where is this course offered?</h2>

The course is offered on an open-enrollment basis at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-bellevue/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bellevue/Kirkland</a>, WA, (which also serves <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-seattle/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Seattle</a>, <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-olympia/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Olympia</a>, Redmond, Renton, Everett, and Tacoma), as well as at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-tucson/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tucson</a>, AZ (which also serves the Greater <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-phoenix/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Phoenix</a> area, Oro Valley, and Sierra Vista / Fort Huachuca), and other select locations such as <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/grand-cayman-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Grand Cayman</a>.&nbsp; We also provide it on an on-site basis anywhere in the world, and <a href="https://consulting.ky/pmp-prep-online/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">online</a> using live instructors.

Mercado San Agustín

Potentially one of the most significant events to occur in Tucson in many decades is the development of the modern streetcar, now called the Sun Link. Ride the streetcar from one end to the other, getting off at various points to explore. The tour begins at the Mercado, the western terminus, with a brief history of the streetcar before boarding. Highlights include stops at the Gutierrez Bridge artwork, downtown streetcar art installations, a walking tour along Congress Street and 4th Avenue, and the University of Arizona Main Gate. Here, you’ll learn about Tucson’s original streetcar system, which operated from 1897 to 1930. Then, the streetcar travels through campus, concluding at 12:30 p.m. at the eastern terminus (Helen &amp; Warren Streets) with a visit to the public artwork “Poet.” The ride back to the Mercado is 30 minutes, but you’re welcome to stop for lunch on the way. The total time spent on the streetcar (some sitting, some standing) is about 1 hour. The walking portion covers about 1 mile over uneven ground with multiple curbs and one flight of stairs. Please reach out at info@tucsonpresidio.com with accessibility questions. Pre-registration is required. Begins and ends at the Mercado San Agustin, 100 S. Avenida del Convento off of West Congress Street, west of I-10. Your guide will be wearing a sun hat. Cancellation Policy: Cancellations received at least 24 hours in advance of the tour will receive a refund (minus a small transaction fee). Those received less than 24 hours in advance will not.
