It also discusses post-exam requirements for maintaining the certification. An overview of how the exam is structured and preparation tips are included.

To comply with the PMP® examination update of January 2, 2021, the course is structured to cover the Project Management Domains, People, Process, and Business Environment, with corresponding Project Management concepts mapped to their domain.
