Methodology

The training uses practical exercises that take individuals outside their comfort zones. By giving the participants help and guidance during the pre-examination process, confidence and skills are strengthened. We make the sessions challenging and practical through the use of simulated test questions, flash cards to help accelerate memory retention and learning, and LMC s proprietary PMPQuikNotes® serving as a mindmap-of-important-points to aid in memory retention and reinforcing classroom materials after the program is completed. Also, by getting candidates to take on the role of setting examination questions would help them learn the process of examination setting and help build confidence. Moreover, this interaction makes classes enjoyable and motivational. Candidates would be provided with PMPQuikNotes®, which is like a mindmap containing all the important and essential facts, tips, and terminologies used in the PMP exam to help accelerate knowledge retention. The Facilitator will take them through discussion points and highlights of each PMP module with the PMPQuikNotes®, reinforced with a test of 15-20 key questions upon the completion of each module. A web-based testing is available at www.projectxcess.com to allow candidates to practice more questions and at their pace.
