PMP® 8 - Project Management Professional (PMBOK® 8): 35 PDUs

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

The Most Recognized Project Management Credential in the World — Now Updated for the 2026 PMP® Exam

The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely regarded as the global gold standard for project managers. Earning it signals to employers that you can lead projects, manage people, and deliver business value across predictive, agile, and hybrid environments. PMP-certified professionals consistently command higher salaries, faster promotions, and broader career mobility than their non-certified peers — and in a 2026 job market shaped by AI, ESG, and accelerating organizational change, the credential has never been more valuable.

This course is built from the ground up for the new 2026 PMP exam and the PMBOK® Guide 8th Edition. It is not a refreshed PMBOK 7 course with a new label. Every module reflects PMBOK 8's six principles, seven performance domains, five focus areas, and 40 processes — along with the expanded business environment coverage that defines the latest PMP Exam Content Outline.

Over 60 Downloadable Templates, Workbooks, and Study Guides

This course goes far beyond video lectures. You get a complete resource library of over 60 downloadable assets designed to reinforce every concept and stay with you long after the exam:

• Project management templates you can use on real projects — charters, stakeholder registers, risk registers, RACI matrices, communication plans, change logs, lessons learned, and more

• Module workbooks that walk you through exercises, calculations, and scenario practice

• Quick-reference study guides for each performance domain, focus area, and exam topic

• Cheat sheets for EVM formulas, critical path calculations, risk response strategies, and PMI mindset principles

• Glossaries, process maps, and tailoring decision aids aligned to PMBOK 8 terminology

These resources are designed to do double duty: help you pass the PMP exam and equip you with practical tools you'll use on the job from day one.

A Year in a Project Manager's Life: The Full Case Study

Most PMP prep courses teach concepts in isolation. This one ends with a 28-lesson immersive case study that follows a project manager through a complete one-year project at a fictional enterprise client. From the first email landing in the inbox, through sponsor briefings, stakeholder mapping, charter negotiation, vendor selection, mid-build earned value reviews, a key team member departure, a materialized risk event, integration surprises, the audit finding, the go/no-go decision, and final launch and closeout — you experience the messy reality of project management the way PMI tests it.

This case study is the bridge between knowing PMBOK 8 and thinking like a PMP. It is also the single best preparation for the scenario-based, situational judgment questions that dominate the 2026 PMP v8 exam.

Full 180-Question PMP Practice Exam

The course includes a comprehensive 180-question practice exam built to mirror the real PMP exam in format, domain distribution, and difficulty. Questions span all three ECO domains — People (33%), Process (41%), and Business Environment (26%) — and cover predictive, agile, and hybrid scenarios. Every question includes a detailed explanation so you understand not just the right answer, but the PMI reasoning behind it.

Use the practice exam to diagnose your weak areas, time yourself under realistic exam conditions, and confirm you're ready to schedule the real thing.

Built for the 2026 PMP V8 Exam

Every topic in this course maps directly to what PMI is testing in the new exam, including the topics most candidates underestimate:

• The shift from PMBOK 7 to PMBOK 8 and what actually changed

• AI in project management — use cases, tool selection, ethics, bias, data privacy, IP, and AI governance policy

• Sustainability, ESG metrics, and continuous benefits realization

• Project governance, steering committees, compliance, and the PMI Code of Ethics

• Organizational change management, sponsor communication, and business acumen

• Earned value management, reserves, baselines, and cost control in adaptive environments

• Servant leadership, emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and high-performing teams

• Stakeholder analysis, engagement planning, and managing difficult stakeholders
