Generally a PMP training is available in 3 different modes. 1. Classroom Training 2. Self-learning mode - simply called Online Training 3. Instructor-led mode - called Live Online Training There are obvious pros & cons of each mode but self-learning courses are cheapest. Generally speaking online training means self-learning training but online training can also mean instructor-led training. Since, your question is about online training so let me talk about both self-learning & instructor-led training courses. Best Self-Learning Course These courses are good if you are self-motivated and have got good self-discipline. You will have to define your schedule and stick to it. You can save a lot of money by enrolling into a self-learning course - generally these courses costs between $200-$400.
