I'm a project manager in NYC and am working towards getting PMP certified. Does anyone have any suggestions on coursework to take to get certified?

What do most people do to fulfill the coursework requirement?

Check out Rita Mulcahy's book, testing software, and flashcards. I'm using it now to study and it's been very helpful. I know people that used only Rita's items and passed with no problems. Here is the link to Rita's website but you can get the stuff cheaper on Amazon.com. http://www.rmcproject.com

JK, this is a frequent question in the discussions. I self-studied with a PMP prep guide, and took some online modules through SmartForce while still serving in the US Army Reserve. Self study requires lots of self discipline, but I think contextualizes the content much better.

As Robert said, this is a frequent question. I did self-study, and I would recommend looking at all types of business courses that you took in the past to try to meet the education requirements. I bet you will find many that are PM-related. There was no education-hours requirement when I got my PMP.

There are also many good on-line and in-person courses available to help you study and to fill the educational requirement.
