PMP Certification Preparation Resources - FREE!

by Don Kim

Below are resources to assist those preparing for the PMP exam. I originally created the interactive ITTO guide when I was preparing for the exam back in May of 2007 while taking a prep class sponsored by PMI-LA, and decided to put it on the web in case my classmates found it useful. I then taught a couple of sessions for the very same prep class sponsored by PMI-LA in the Fall of 2007, and added the additional resources for the students.

For those visiting and preparing for the exam, I hope you find the resources useful, as I wish to give back to the online and offline community which helped me greatly when I was preparing for the exam.

*NOTE - All the following are based on the PMBOK 3rd Edition, 2004

For those just starting their preparation, below are links to a 3 part overview of the PMP exam:

1. PMP Preparation - Part 1: Overview.
2. PMP Preparation - Part 2: Methods and Techniques To Pass.
3. PMP Preparation - Part 3: PMP Prep Book Reviews.

Some helpful PMP exam reference materials below:


1. Spreadsheet to calculate hours on the PMP application.

2. PMP work description samples, which you can use to help you after you enter your work hours from the above spreadsheet.

3. Comprehensive study document to help prepare for the PMP exam.

4. Study guide notes I handed out at a PMI-LA Chapter, PMP prep class I taught during Fall of 2007.

5. PMP audit tips that provides some guidance, in case you get audited.

6. The Project Management PrepCast™ is an audio based PMP prep course entirely done by listening to mp3 podcasts, which also qualifies for the 35 hour contract hours. I still think face-to-face classes are more effective, but if your on a tight budget and pressed for time, this is a pretty excellent and affordable alternative!
