Join us for an overview on PMI-PBA® certification. Attendees will come away with a clear idea of what the exam covers, and tips for applying for, preparing for, and passing the exam. A special focus is on how the PBA exam maps to the PMP to show candidates how to apply their existing knowledge to the new certification.
