|
PMP exam prep training is available from many
sources, but a large number of candidates are
seeking online, web-based PMP prep training for its
cost and convenience benefits. However, online
training can mean a number of different things to
people, including web-based classroom training,
reviewing visual material online, collaborating
with other students, interacting with training,
downloading material, and much more. |
Project Management Training Online has been researching what
students interested in online project management training value
the most. Here is our data, from a sample of nearly 700, about
what professionals interested in online PMP prep training want
and what is important to them about the training:
2. Just over 25% work for mid-size companies, and a little less
work for consulting or professional services firms. While
nearly 20% work for Fortune 1000 companies, the remainder work
for small firms, government or other organizations.
3. Over 60% are serious about PMP certification, most of whom
need the 23 hours for CAPM, or 35 hours for the PMP. While a
few of the rest of those who are "serious" are already CAPM or
PMP certificied, most are actively preparing and applying to
take the exam. The other nearly 40% are just thinking about PMP
certification at the moment.
4. Over 75% people seeking online Project Management
certification training selected "online, anywhere, anytime web
based interactive training" as a preference. Over 50% specified
that downloadable CD/DVD-based training was desirable, and just
under 50% specified that exam simulations combined with flash
cards and study mode features were highly desirable. Between 20
and 40% listed podcasts, video, and online instructor lead
training as desired modes of delivery.
5. When asked what they are looking for in project management
training the majority mentioned either that they want to
satisfy educational requirements and earn certification, or
they simply want to increase their knowledge of project
management to become more effective in their careers. The rest
of the respondents mentioned that convenience, 24x7
availability, the ability to study on their own, and related
factors were the most important things they were looking
for.
6. When asked how they are evaluating online project management
training providers, they mentioned many thing, including
presentation, understandability of the material, thoroughness,
PMI standards alignment, cost, good training portal, case-based
examples, lively and interactive, and acceptability by the
PMI.
