The PMP Exam Preparation Course will no longer be offered, effective January 2021. Effective January 2, 2021 there is an entirely new version of the PMP exam focused on software development projects. I believe that folks in other project areas, engineering and construction for instance, will find the content to be fundamentally irrelevant and of little use to their work. If you are contemplating the PMP designation, you may wish to explore whether the new exam or the knowledge it represents would be particularly meaningful to you, your clients, or your employer. The new version of the PMP exam is based on an exam content outline issued by PMI on June 30, 2019. The new exam content ouline is described as a "radical departure" from all previous content outlines. We can expect that the changes to the exam will be dramatic and unprecedented. In brief, knowledge of the Agile method and terminology has been added to the existing exam content.
You can find the exam specification at:
I have no idea what study resources to suggest in preparation for the new exam. I frankly do not believe that any other training provider knows any more than I do. For more information on changes to the PMP exam effective January 2021, go to the PMI website. You will also see that there is now an option to write the exam at home where you will be supervised via webcam, as well as the option of attending a test centre to write the exam.
More than 1500 PMP candidates registered for the Certification Preparation Seminar during
the 22 years it was offered, starting in the Fall of 1996, with a high pass rate for those who challenged the exam. An archived description of the 2019 Exam Preparation Seminar can
