After taking the final exam in The Project Management PrepCast™, you will receive the 35 contact hour certificate you can use for your certification. Continue reading this article to learn more about how you can obtain the certificate. 

Contact Hours from The PM PrepCast™

The Project Management Institute (PMI)® requires that you undertake 35 contact hours of training in project management before you can apply for the Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam. The training must be completed before you can sit for the examination.

The Project Management PrepCast™ offers over 35 hours of quality Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam video and audio training, and you will receive a 35 Contact Hours certificate after you pass The Final Exam.

Instructions for Obtaining the Certificate

To receive your 35 contact hour certificate, you must pass our end-of-course assessment, which we call our “Final Exam.” The Final Exam is a 5-question, multiple-choice exam. 

There is no time limit for you to take our Final Exam. You can take it anytime from the moment you purchase the PM PrepCast.
