It is an online exam that you take on our website.</p> <p>Remember - this is not an email but an episode in iTunes and you have to wait for 2 weeks until you see it. There is no time limit after these 2 weeks as to when you can take the exam. You can take it after 2 weeks, 2 months or even wait for a year. Also, you can take the final exam as often as you need until you pass. After you pass, you can print your 35 Contact Hour certificate.</p> <p>The 2 week period before you receive the instructions is necessary for us to have some assurance that you have listened to all the episodes and that you have achieved the desired training goal. We will not release the information about the final exam to you before the end of these two weeks. It would be against the PMI Code of Ethics, which is why we have never made an exception to this rule.</p> 2010-01-17T07:32:36-09:00 107356 105 99799 false false false true 0 Cornelius Fichtner, PMP 7381563 2010-01-17T07:32:36-09:00 <p>Yes.</p> <p>When you purchase The PM PrepCast you buy a single-user license.

The files are rather large. It is possible to download the files on a dial-up connection but it will take at least all night long and there is a great chance that your connection will time out and that some files will only download partially.</p> <p>In total, the lesson files are about 2.5 Gigabytes in size.&nbsp;</p> 2010-01-09T11:17:19-09:00 size internet high-speed connection download 107356 68 96867 false false false true 0 Cornelius Fichtner, PMP 7381563 2010-01-09T11:17:19-09:00
