If so, than the following information might be useful for you.

I have written a blog about the timeline to become a PMP this year, before the exam will change based on the upcoming new PMBoK Guide.

This blog shows a sample timeline when you should have started if you want to assure to have the option to go for all three attempts if necessary.

Please find the article here:

https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-pos...change-in-2018-

or alternative on LinkedIn:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-timeli...pmp?published=t

The graphic is better there ... ;)

In fact, you should start right away ...

If you are searching for a proper online course (which provides also the needed 35 contact hours for the PMP exam application) then please have a look at another blog from me:

https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-pos...Pass-First-Time

I have used this one by my own and from my perspective it is probably the best prep course available out there.

They do offer a great bundle package this month where the course is bundled with their also great simulator for a really nice discount.
You can't get more value actual!

If you are in the final zone of your preparation you might just need a good simulator to validate your knowledge and to assess your exam readiness?!

Well besides the great simulator by the PrepCast team there is another good option to go for, the simulator by PMAspire.
And they do also offer a nice discount this month; please have a look here:

And please do not hesitate to ask any further question you might have in the context of the PMP exam preparation.

Regards,

Markus

PS: If all this stuff is overwhelming you (what is really normal for most of the aspirants in the beginning) than our "let me be your PMP prep guide" - program might be of interest for you.

Read PMBOK Guide 5th Edition or go for Project Management Book by RITA 8th Edition. These two books are the ultimate key to success. Revise the books at least 2 to 3 times. Your concepts must be clear to earn the PMP certification. Many thanks
Good advice. Just one thing here.
I would not say "PmBoK Guide OR Ritas" ... furthermore i would say "PMBoK Guide AND Ritas ( or any other good prep book!)".

The Guide in companion with a good prep book should be the basis of preparation for any aspirant.

Regards,

Markus

You are welcome Peter.
Glad that you like it.

Since the example has started in the beginning of March there will be an update soon as we are already almost at the beginning of April.

Will not change much this time, since there is still enough "buffer" involved, but next two month the plan will start to change dramatically as time began to run out ... ;)
