PMP Bootcamp: Where Budding Professionals Go to Get Their Training

By January 13, 2023No Comments

The Art of War, by Sun Tzu, may very well have been the first book dedicated to project management. “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” sums up exactly what being a project manager is all about.

When a project is in its initial stages a project manager is the one to organize the chaos. It’s no wonder that one of the best ways to get project management focused training courses is through a bootcamp. While it doesn’t require a uniform, a yelling sergeant,  or a haircut, it is an intense and concentrated way to receive the requirements necessary in order to become a Project Management Professional (PMP). So what is the best PMP boot camp?  Let’s dive in with today’s article.

Recruitment Process

PMI – Project Management Institute

Companies around the world recognize Project Management Institute’s (PMI) PMP certificate because it is obtained by project managers that have studied the tools, techniques, and management principles in order to increase and maintain their knowledge of the profession.

By requiring experience as well as education and formal training, PMI provides you with the credibility, commitment, and competitive advantage in the ever growing field of project management.

Project management is a profession that spans the spectrum of occupations. From manufacturing to information technology, PMP certification is the way to continue your goals to be that professional.

Look at the process like going from an enlisted private to becoming an officer. First you have to meet the criteria set out by Project Management Institute (PMI).

Transitioning to PMP

If you have a bachelor’s degree or higher you  will need to have three years (4,500 hours or thirty-six months) of field experience.

For those who don’t hold a bachelors’ or higher,  a secondary degree (high school diploma or equivalent, or associate’s degree) and five years (7,500 hours or sixty months) of field experience.

You should note that the amount of experience necessary doesn’t require that you hold the position or title of Project Manager. If you have led a team within the scope of a project, or assisted the Project Manager in assigned tasks, those items count towards that field work.

This goes back to PMIs standards. By confirming that an applicant meets the conditions set in order to sit for the exam, PMI has become the professionals standard for Project Management.

Once those requirements are met, you can be sent to bootcamp to receive your intensive 35 hours of training, or contact hours. Without these verifiable contact hours you can’t continue your enlistment and your ultimate goal to become an officer.

What is the Best PMP Boot Camp

“Plan for what it is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small.”

Bootcamp for PMP certification is the fastest and most intensive training you can take for the exam. Much like Officer Training School, it is a strict, project management targeted course that immerses you in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), usually across just 4 or 5 days. By creating an intensive training course, and determining what the best PMP boot camp is for you, it allows an initiate to focus on the entirety of the PMBOK, knowledge areas and processes. For individuals that have the ability and can schedule the time, the extreme instruction might be the best way to go.

Contact Hours

Contact hours are hours of education that pertain directly to the field of project management. Each hour of education counts as one hour of contact.

Courses should provide:

  • Expert Instructors
  • Cover all the material needed to pass the PMP exam
  • Good Feedback and Testimonials and
  • Be upfront with pricing

Take the time to research the course provider.  Check reviews, talk to colleagues, past students, even your employer, to see what courses they may recommend.

A PMP bootcamp provider should:

  • Satisfy the minimum 35 contact hours
  • Provide structured content and material
  • Provide a Certificate of Completion
  • Provide realistic  sample questions and answers
  • Have positive feedback from past students
  • Provide you with material you can use once the intensive 4-5 day course is completed

Contact Hours don’t expire and shouldn’t be confused with Professional Development Units (PDU) that are required for renewal. These contact hours are for learning the core knowledge for becoming a Professional Project Manager, passing the exam to do so, and receiving that coveted PMP certification.

An Outline of the PMBOK 7th Edition

The 7th edition of the PMBOK, which was released in January 2021, is organized into the following main sections:

  1. Introduction – provides an overview of the PMBOK and the project management profession.
  2. The Standard for Project Management – describes the six aspects of project management (scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, and stakeholders) that must be balanced in order to successfully deliver a project.
  3. The Project Management Framework – outlines the five process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing) and the nine knowledge areas (integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, and procurement) that are used to manage the project from start to finish.
  4. Project Integration Management – describes the processes and activities required to ensure that all aspects of the project are properly coordinated.
  5. Project Scope Management – covers the processes and techniques used to define, plan, and control the scope of the project.
  6. Project Schedule Management – describes the processes and techniques used to plan and control the project schedule.
  7. Project Cost Management – covers the processes and techniques used to plan and control the project budget.
  8. Project Quality Management – describes the processes and techniques used to ensure that the project meets the specified quality standards.
  9. Project Resource Management – covers the processes and techniques used to plan, acquire, and manage the project’s human and non-human resources.
  10. Project Communications Management – describes the processes and techniques used to manage the flow of information to, from, and within the project team.
  11. Project Risk Management – covers the processes and techniques used to identify, assess, and mitigate the risks associated with the project.
  12. Project Procurement Management – describes the processes and techniques used to acquire goods and services from outside the project team.
  13. Project Stakeholder Management – covers the processes and techniques used to identify, assess, and manage the stakeholders involved in the project.
  14. The Standard for Portfolio Management – describes the standard for portfolio management and it’s integration with project, program and operation management.
  15. Tailoring Considerations – provides guidance on tailoring the PMBOK to the specific needs of a particular project or organization.

PMP bootcamp sessions breaks down the information in a way that allows you a fast, concentrated course, with tips and tricks that can help you connect the information in order to pass your PMP certification exam.

Bootcamp FAQ’s

  • Bootcamps can be in person instruction in a classroom setting or online with a live instructor.
  • Bootcamps are generally 3 – 5 days in a row.
  • Bootcamps can be from 12 to 6 hours for the day.
  • Some Boot Camps provide you with a pass guarantee on the actual exam
  • Bootcamps have a strict attendance requirement. If you miss or sometimes if you are late for the course you will have to start back at the beginning.
  • If you have to start the course over you will have to pay for the course again. Make sure you have the time allotted before signing up.
  • Bootcamps cost much more than self-paced learning programs and sometimes  more than courses that go over a period of weeks or months.
  • Bootcamp is the quickest way to achieve the 35 contact hours necessary to sit for your PMP certification.

In Person versus Online Boot Camp

Some individuals prefer the in person classroom study. It allows you to have more personal interaction with other students as well as the instructors. It is often less distracting and can give you more insight into what others are struggling with.

Online courses provide you with the ability to schedule the class when you are at home, or in some cases, at the office.  It gives you access to a wider range of course providers and there’s no need to commute to class every morning.

Of the online courses available, we strongly recommend Brain Sensei’s PMP Exam Prep course.  They include a pass guarantee, money-back guarantee, and access to their entire self-paced course with 1,500 realistic practice questions for an entire year. They provide the guidance of a live instructor and the ability to work with your peers through social media study groups. Their course is provided in bootcamp form, as well as 2-nights/week for 5 week sessions online and their self-paced courses are very reasonably priced.

Becoming a PMP “Officer”

No matter the training you choose, you have to have the 35 contact hours. Once you have that certificate of completion from your bootcamp and have met all of the PMP prerequisites, you can send in your application to schedule your exam.

PMI randomly audits applications to ensure the quality of those taking the exam meets the standards of the organization. Keep all of your documentation, especially your certificate of completion, ready in case of an audit.

Once your application is accepted you have one year to take the exam. You can, if need be, reschedule the exam but you may be charged additional fees to do so. If you don’t sit the exam within the year you will need to reapply, but remember, your certificate of completion and your 35 education hours don’t expire.

If your exam is scheduled at a later date, take time and advantage of the sample exams, sample questions and answers, and notes you took during Bootcamp. Get with other students to help you prepare, asking each other questions that focus on the areas you may need additional preparation for.

There are 180 questions and 4 hours between you and your PMP certificate. All of the steps up to this point have prepared you to answer the questions by applying your understanding of project management and project data. Bootcamp has provided you with tips to remember the key knowledge areas and processes.

Most online training courses, including Brain Sensei, offer you the ability to work with exam simulators. These simulators teach you how to answer so you can get through the entire 180 multiple choice questions.  You have a little over one minute to answer each question. Plenty of time.

“If you do not take the opportunity   to   advance and reward   the   deserving,   your subordinates will not carry out your commands, and disaster will ensue.”

The best PMP bootcamp will provide you with the tools to become a Project Management Professional Certificate holder. PMP is the most recognized project management certificate in the world. It provides its holders with credibility and boasts their profile ahead of their peers. A PMP certified can gain a 20% increase in salary in comparison to a non-certified professional according to PMI latest salary survey.

Project Management is one of the most consistent as well as growing fields. No matter what industry, if you seek to elevate your project management career, get off the bus and into bootcamp. The haircut is your choice.

BrainSensei has been the best approach to PMP exam training I could ask for. The experience is immersive, customizable, adaptive and really makes learning fun! Reading the story of how the founders came up with an approach to studying for this beast of an exam that wasn't so focused in the minutiae of PMI jargon, I totally get the idea behind the approach. Wish I would've discovered this earlier on in my journey.

This course had good reviews online from previous clients so I decided to try this one. Relevant course materials and great timed practice tests allowed me to ace the actual certification exam on my first attempt. I highly recommend this course.

This is a great tool to support the PMBOK Guide. Quizzes, presentations, and videos help break down the massive amount of information that comes with the PMBOK, truly helping you prepare for the actual exam. Great way to get your 35 hours classroom credit!

- Penney

---

I think the course is good. I wouldn't mind a few more videos and audible in the trainings. I do a lot do reading. I bought the PMBOK book on the side and sometimes have trouble connect the class to the PMBOK book. I do enjoy your format. I am learning. Personally I need buckle down and spend more time on it.

- Anthony

Brain Sensei helped me to prepare for and pass the PMP exam on the first try. I used many exam simulators and this one was by far the most similar to the exam. Im so happy I found Brain Sensei and chose to prepare with them!

- Alex Jane

I am a refugee from Ukraine. I applied to Brain Sensei with a request to provide me with a scholarship so that I could prove my skills and abilities for Europe where I am now due to the invasion of my country. The Brain Sensei team promptly responded to my request and provided the opportunity to study in their PMP course. I am very grateful to the Brain Sensei team and am happy to start learning! Thank you very much!

- Tetiana

Easy to navigate the platform

- Michael

I really enjoyed the Brain Sensei self learning course as well as the virtual course with the instructor. I was able to pass the PMP with above target ratings for every section. I am so pleased with how easy and efficient the courses were to navigate, and how simply the PMI approach was placed into every day situations. I would highly recommend this course to everyone wanting to either freshen up on their Project skills or to master the PMP.

Hi Folks, good course there. More info/exercises on EV and formulas would be really helpful. Thank you very much.

- Vasil

---

I passed my test on the first try! Excellent learning tool. There were some questions that I found to be confusing or contradictory with the answers, so I sent those to the Brain Sensei team. They always responded quickly, even on the weekend! Some adjustments are being made because of my feedback. I appreciate their care and that they take the time to support during the studying period.

- Pamla Kendrick

---

Perfect program for me. I did it at my own pace, and passed the exam with flying colors.

- Mary Garnett

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. Of course, lots of studying is needed (PMBOOK and other agile-related books and material). The customer service team is exceptional, very supportive. I had an immediate response to whatever I needed.

- PS

---

This is a great course!!!!

- Darrius Cooley

---

Great training tool! I learned a lot and realized how much training I needed to learn. Now to take my exam!

- Michelle

---

Engaging, self-pacing course that contains accurate content. Prepared me well for the PMP exam which I passed on my first attempt. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. For example, I completed it over the span of 2 and a half months.

- Matthew

---

The course was thorough and the practice exams enhanced my learning. However, I am having a hard time receiving my PDU credit for taking the course.

- Deidra

---

The story approach was good but I feel like I wasn't ready for some of the questions on the site.

- Barbara

---

very good but needs to be more updated

- Mohmed kheir

---

I loved the PMP prep course and the level of learning from this. I am hoping this learning to be translated in PMP certification as well :) Another thing to mention is the very responsive support and quickest issue resolution. I had an issue with subscription expiry and they resolved it very swiftly. Thanks!

- Kamal

---

phenomenal training opportunity that provides a variety of learning styles for all.

- Anastasia

---

Great way to prepare for the PMP Exam!

- Matthew

---

Excellent test prep for the exam, though some more practice tests on agile would be beneficial

- eric

---

It is often hard to figure out what the right answer was on a quiz or practice exam. Frequently, the correct answer is buried in a lot of text about what options are wrong.

- James

---

The content was spot on and I am much more confident in understanding the processes and how everything works together now. (The) course is great; however, the customer service team is Exceptional! Very responsive and thorough, and at all times; and when I had some technical difficulties (or questions) they stuck with me through resolution. Highly recommended program and company.

- Daniel R

---

Great customer support. Wish more Agile modules were available.

- John

helpful focus, detailed testing.

Very thorough training. By taking this course and reviewing some free online study materials, I was able to hit above target in every category.

Good courses, lots of text and reading. Not as many videos or interactive pieces that I was expecting. And some misspelled words.

It was great!

- Heide

The Course documents should remain open for longer than 6 months, given that PMI gives you 365 days to prepare for exam. Also, the option to extend visibility for the course documents, costs almost a 5th of the course, but opens up the docs for just 30 more days. Propose to extend this to 90 days at the very least.

- Vasily

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. I believe that practice exams included in the course helped me a lot with the preparation for my PMP Exam. I appreciate Brain Sensei for their amazing course and for the awesome service. They responded to all my requests immediately. Thanks. Highly recommended.

- Helen Borimsky

---

The format of the prep-course is great overall and a great alternative to reading the PMBOK. Barring a few minor glitches here and there, the flow of information ensures that concepts are well understood not only from the point of examination but to the point of application in day to day professional activities. Explanations provided in the answers of prep exams (apart from the 1st one) are also a key to understanding the thought process to be applied. With the focus being on Agile approaches from 2021, the information in the course seemed adequate to cover the concepts. All the Best to all aspirants.

Studied BrainSensei for 11 days and passed. Succinct and highly informational chapters. The 4 practice exams are marginally more difficult then the PMP. Borderline impossible to fail the PMP if you pass this course.

- Sarmad(Sam)

Great course! They break down all concepts in a very clear and interactive way, that doesn't put you to sleep. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to pass the PMP exam with flying colors.

Your course, quizzes at the end of most modules and practice exams truly challenged me. I definitely derived the value and knowledge I was looking for in preparation for taking the PMP Certification Test. In particular, I appreciated the explanations that popped-up in the tests after an answer was submitted - very educational and helpful to my learning/understanding the material and concepts better. Some areas that could be improved (and some of this is nit-picking) include: * Some of the grammar and overall sentence structures, particularly in the latest set of practice exams, needs to be cleaned-up. Some were missing 'of', 'for, or had an extra 'an' in the narrative - got confusing at times. * In the practice exams, I'd like to see shorter sentences rather than the flurry of 'and' and 'or' conjunctions that made reading the sentences go on forever (had to read them multiple times to truly understand their meaning). That said, I enjoyed the overall online course taking experience and thank you for accommodating my requested time extensions. Best regards, Scott Conn

Liked it. Need access for longer though.

What I like best about Brain Sensei is the interactive nature of the course. I think this material would be numbing if delivered as simple lectures with slides. This method is an improvement on that. On the other hand, an in-person course, while more expensive, would likely be even more useful if you have the funds and the time. I haven't taken the PMP exam yet, so I can't comment on how useful the practice tests are.

- James

Great

- Yennyfer

The Brain Sensei PMP program is a wonderful program that condenses the PMBOK into digestible and retainable bites leveraging the power of story telling. If you're looking for a program that will get you your credit hours but also help establish a foundation of PMI knowledge this is the program for you!

- Kenny Dalen

---

Passed first attempt

- Lee

---

Truly the best course in town if you wish to pass the PMP exam on the first try. I love the idea of playing the role of the samurai and practice your project management skill in her shoes. And not to forget, the generous amount of practice exam gave me just the right dose of confidence before taking the real one. Highly recommended

- Minh Vo

---

The course was great, though I found a lot of parts hard to comprehend. I feel a lot more prepared and better skilled to manage projects in my career. Thanks, Brain Sensei.

- Jill Finkelstein

---

The BrainSensei PMP preparation course provided me with all the material required to be ready for the exam. It is well structured, explains the concepts clearly, and most importantly, provides ample training questions through the four mock exams and assessment questions at the end of each module. I passed the exam with Above Target in all sections on the first attempt.

- Gael Riethmuller

---

Overall I really liked this learning course. It was very helpful and allowed me to be well prepared for the exam. The 2nd and 3rd practice exam are great to give you real example questions and help prepare you for what to expect. BrainSensei's customer service was the best. I had to delay taking my test due to COVID and they extended my membership for free. They went above and beyond my expectation which was great. Only changes I would recommend is to add 1 or 2 more practice exams like the 2nd and 3rd exam and get rid of the agile practice exam. This is not a real focus of the test and therefore is not really applicable in my opinion.

- Ronnie

---

BrainSensei developed a great learning method to prepare for the PMP certification exam. Their customer service is always very professional, fast, spot on and dedicated to your success. I recommend them.

- G. Buchs

---

I've sent several emails to BrainSensei (one of them not so nice, but the rest were okay) and the team has always been so polite in answering the questions. I'm a very straight-forward person and don't like the PMI-ism type questions because they seem like 'gotchas' or traps, and this is not how I manage my team. I took the Master of Project course (which was garbage) then failed the PMP exam. Throughout the PMP exam I felt so out of touch. Even with the first practice exam on BrainSensei I felt out of place, but I am not getting the hang of things. I hope to pass the exam on the second attempt! The brain sensei experience has been *miles* ahead of the Master of Project garbage. Brain Sensei should be proud of both their product and of their team! I love getting replies to my concerns so quickly. Nice work :) !!!

I was very pleased with the preparation provided for the PMP certification. I went through the materials twice and passed the exam on the first try. A couple of the questions need to be polished up, but very good training overall.

This is by far the best way to prepare yourself for the PMP exam. The material is presented in a unique and engaging way that makes learning it easy and also fun! The company behind this course is also very professional and responsive. Keep up the great work!

- Amir Afifi

I have studied with other programs and I didn’t feel prepared. After a short time with Brain Sensei, I had the confidence to succeed on exam day, which I did on the first try after studying with Brain Sensei. It was worth every penny.

- Andrew Grady

Great program

- Ashley

---

Course is made for people who are already grounded in the material, not for someone that needs all the basics. Was budget friendly and OK content.

- Andrew

Brain Sensei is great tool to have in the study arsenal while preparing for the PMP exam.

I really enjoyed the modules and content offered by Brain Sensei! I passed the PMP Exam on the first try and would recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a great PMP Exam Prep.

- Delfin Gallegos

Overall layout is good, but there are some quality issues. Progress isn't always saved across all devices and progress gets lost. Some small spelling mistakes. I loved the practical storyline...

Absolutely Fantastic learning software. Highly recommend it! Very well thought out and creative. Really enjoyed my study time. Excellent mock tests and mock exams. So so helpful. Thank you Brain Sensei Team for being part of my PMP journey!

- Tracy

Need improvement in presenting more relevant real exam type questions. The practice exams are too simple and easy and do not prepare you for the real exam. Otherwise, good concept presenting material

- Amir

---

The prep materials provided plenty of content which prepared me well for the PMP exam. The questions were packed with information.

- Cameron

Teaches the PMP in a solid manner, some things you need to know as a potential consumer: -The Samurai backstory is extremely short, and didn’t really assist me with recall in any in-depth way. It only gave broad brush-strokes as to what each phase entailed. -MOST of what was on the test was covered in the lessons, however if I had zero real prior PM knowledge prior to the test, I would have failed. -The first practice test forces you, as the student to actually read into the PMBOK, which was a benefit in the long run as it assisted me with quickly referencing what I needed to find. -The course will likely cover wave tops and subjects, forcing me to self-study for a week before my test... not a bad deal all things considered. -Brain Sensei’s course has incorporated Agile into one of their practice tests, and this test IS mandatory. This may seem strange, and I didn’t get a satisfactory reason why I needed to take a purely Agile test when I only wanted to take the PMP, for anyone else in this scenario, this is the reason: In June, PMI is revamping the PMP test to include Agile as a significant portion of the PMP. Brain Sensei is just ahead of the curve trying to get students prepared... fret not. Their customer service is extremely responsive and does take care of their members. My program had a couple bugs, and the customer service fixed my problems within 24 hours. All in all... it was absolutely worth the money for me.

- Kevin

I am very impressed with this learning system. The content is laid out in a way that will make any learner understand all the process groups and ITTOs in order to understand Project management and be equipped to excel in the test. The learning system is engaging and fun at the same time. It's very different than other learning material which is composed mostly of videos. Some improvements are needed, but in my opinion Brain Sensei is great value for money

- said durra

At first, I was attracted to Brain Sensei training for their original learning program using a Samurai's story. And indeed it made the whole learning experience funnier - so easier. I felt like the Samurai. Then, I was amazed by The Brain Sensei Team's reactivity and help when I reached out through contact@brainsensei.com Their support was constantly reliable and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and didn't feel on my own. At last, the course and the practice exams proved to be efficient since I passed the PMP exam - with 'Above Targe't in all Domains. So thank you so much Brain Sensei Team !! Charlene

- Charlene LU

Overall very good. Got stuck a few times trying to find resources which I should have downloaded the before starting the program. Customer service has been great.

- Jonathan Williams

SO far I am thoroughly enjoying the Brain Sensei PMP prep course. I have taken a Project management class as a part of my degree which I recently completed and project management has always interested me. I find the course to be educational and easy to follow. I am grateful that this course has been designed in such a way that is simple to understand all of the complexities in project management and that allows me to study at my own pace.

- Eric Browne

The content is good and easy to understand

This review is based on completing all course work through module 102. The story and interactive nature of the course are helpful for learning and relating the material. It would be nice to have the page numbers to the PMBOK guide where references are made to it. Other information that will be helpful, are the explanations to the practice questions at the end of each module. These are provided only after immediately answering the questions. Having these available in the score summary from the 'history' tab will be helpful to refresh why the answer is correct and other options are not.

- Rohan Punit

Overall I would rate this course an 8/10. I liked how there were exams towards the end of every module and I felt that it was very useful having it laid out in different scenarios. I rate it only an 8/10 as I had some glitch/software issues and lost my progress resulting in me having to re-do modules/exams multiple times. All in all, that was maybe useful in the end as it was a way for me study or 're-learn' the course material. Thank you!

- Nikki Cordy

---

Clear and precise explanations of how things work. I was never lost navigating the course.

- Gary Nicol

---

A smart approach to present the information which makes it fun and engaging while at the same time preparing for the PMP exam. Brain Sensei differentiates itself from other PMP exam preps in that it delivers the knowledge through the use of storytelling technique. I recommend this course because it will help you pass your PMP exam on the first try.

- Jamal

---

Loved the story telling and the practice exams. I felt very prepared when the actual exam came around.

- Josh

---

One of a kind training that was truly engaging!

- Claire

---

Excellent course for preparing for the PMP exam in a fun and engaging way! The practice questions resemble the actual questions on the exam making it a completely worthwhile experience.

- Rossetta

---

I passed the PMP exam after taking Brain Sensei's Online PMP Certification Exam Prep. The practice exam questions were so similar to the questions that appeared on the exam. On exam day, when I sat down to take the test and started running through the questions I felt so relieved! The practice exams are also timed so you get more comfortable with the exam experience and feel better prepared when you sit down to take the test. The other differentiator was the video content throughout the modules. The concepts are taught through a story of a young samurai defending her kingdom. This will probably be the only PMP prep course where you can learn all the knowledge areas and feudal Japan at the same time. I'd recommend this course not just because of the videos but because it helped me pass my exam on the first try.

- Jackie

---

Good course, but a few grammatical errors with how some questions were worded.

- Sonia

---

It was good!

- Sergei

---

Loved the unique approach and it still had all the info I'd expect from a full PMP exam prep course. Very responsive on questions too.
