how long is a PMP or PMI course for project management certification?


PMI (Project Management Institute) has several certifications, one of which is the PMP (Project Management Professional). You’re not required to take a PMP prep course, but many people do.

The course we offer is 40 hours long, because we try to educate rather than just cram. We normally offer it either 1 day a week for 5 weeks, or 1 evening week for 10 weeks.

Other courses are shorter, at 2 or 3 days. The shorter courses tend to assume you’ve done more work on your own prior to attending.

    Check you local community college or university. Here it is a 4 year study program. Which is funny, because you can earn the right to be called an Engineer without any education beyond job experience with the state highway department.
