Who wants to pass the PMP® Exam The Easy Way?

All you have to do is watch, learn and succeed...

Watch your first PMP Exam lesson in 15 minutesDear PMP® Student,

Are you frustrated because you are trying to balance life, family, friends, work and on top of it all you need to find the time to study for the challenging Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam? My name is Cornelius Fichtner, PMP and I was in your shoes in 2004 when I was preparing for my exam.

I had just started a new job, moved to a new house and I had a tight budget to get ready for my PMP® Exam. There wasn't a single product available that would make it easier for me. So I created my own.

I passed my PMP® Exam in April 2004 and since then I have given many PMP® classroom trainings. I was also the 2007 president of my PMI® chapter. But most importantly, I am the Host of The Project Management Podcast™, a show where I regularly speak with project managers from all over the world. And now, all my experience as a PMP® student, PMP® trainer, PMI® chapter president and creator of The PM Podcast™ is packed and available to you in The Project Management PrepCast™. Click here to order it right now...

Watch our introduction video right now and let me explain the PrepCast to you:

The PrepCast™ is the first and only 35 hour long PMP® Exam Video Workshop and we received fantastic feedback from our students. Here is what some of our students have to say about the PrepCast™:

 

Sascha WyssYesterday evening I passed the PMP exam after 4 months of intensely learning. The first feeling that I have is a big relieve that it's over and that I finally have my life back! The second feeling is a deep thankfulness to you - because you walked beside me these four month in the shape of my iPod and taught me all these sometimes very dry issues in a very understandable and entertaining - sometimes even funny way. I understood that it needs more than one source of information to pass this exam, and so the PMBOK and Rita Mulcahy's "PMP Exam Prep" were also on my daily menu. But your PodCast was definitely the most useful source and I will strongly recommend it to everybody which will ask for my opinion!

Here the main reasons why the PrepCast is so great:

  • You explain everything in a very down to earth way so that it's easily understandable.
  • You bring many examples so that it's easy to imagine how to apply the processes
  • You don't take yourself or the topics all too serious and so it's fun and entertaining listening to you
  • Because you are Swiss you have a very neutral English which is very good understandable
  • Because you are Swiss, you are not US centristic but you are trying to make your presentation cultural independent
  • Because you are Swiss, I have a hard time understanding why you give away this jewel at this price - you could ask 6 times as much and it would still be a bargain! ;-)

I will surely stay a devoted listener of your pmpodcast, send you many greetings from Basel and hope many more PMP students will find the way to you.

- Sasha Wyss, PMP


 

Ron Holohan, PMPI have used the PM PrepCast daily for the past month, I have to tell you that this tool, in my opinion, is a must for anyone studying for the exam who leads an active life (walking, jogging, biking, swimming… okay, maybe it wouldn’t work so well while swimming) or finds themselves with lots of “dead time” commuting or traveling. I unfortunately spent a few hundred dollars on a PMP Prep DVD collection from a particular company that didn’t even scratch the surface of what I feel I will need to know in preparation to take the exam. Conversely, the PM PrepCast covers the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of each process in great detail with easy to understand examples, exam tips, and even suggestions from those who have recently taken the exam on how to best prepare!

If you are considering taking the PMP certification exam, I highly recommend subscribing to this podcast especially since there really aren’t any other “pod-ready” PMP casts out there. I give this fine PrepCast a rating of 5 out of 5 milestones.

Listen Now to our interview with Ron. Learn how he studied for and passed the exam:

 Ananya VilaskhampheeYesterday I started listening to your Premium PrepCast and I could not wait to mail you a big THANK YOU. It really helps for a textbook-phobia like me. :)

I listen to it while I exercise in the evening and I must say that it turned to be very helpful. I like the times when you ask the audience to guess the processes and other things. Those interactions are things that challenge the thinking and make me remain very active.

I will be taking the exam in few months and I do wish that I can listen to all 9 Knowledge Areas and 5 Processes before that so I don't have to read the textbook. Anyways, the PrepCast would still be useful when I take up a new job where I will apply this knowledge. Thank you again and wish you all the best.

- Ananya Vilaskhamphee, PMP


As you can see from these student testimonials, the PrepCast™ is a fantastic study tool that makes it very easy to get PMP® ready. It is the best PMP® Audio Workshop available. It removes the pain of studying.

The total file size of all episodes is approximately 2.5 Gigabytes.  A high-speed internet connection is strongly recommended. Many companies have corporate firewalls in place and you many not be able to download the lesson videos on your work computer.

Note: Neither a transcript nor the presentation slides are part of the PrepCast package. They are also not available for purchase.

If you have been looking for a good way to study for the PMP® Exam, then you will have seen that companies who offer online and especially in-classrom workshops will charge you several hundred dollars. The good news is that we are not like them.
 

I will not charge you hundreds of dollars for this

Do you remember that I said earlier that I was on a tight budget, when I was studying for the exam? Well, I still feel my pain from back then and I decided that I did not want to charge hundreds of dollars for the PrepCast™. Instead it has to be affordable for everyone. And because we are a small company, because we don't have expensive phone support and because we are offering the PrepCast™ as downloadable eWorkshop,

We offer the PrepCast to you
for just $99.97.

(These numbers were collected on April 09, 2009. We tried our best to find comparable online training courses that offer 35 contact hours for online or down-loadable PMP® Exam preparation courses. The last 2 in the list are different but listed for comparison. We are showing the regular prices without discount offers. But even if we showed you the discount offers, we would still be the least expensive and complete 35 hour workshop.)

I will also give the following Bonus Items as a Gift to you:

I decided that I did not want to just create a down-loadable workshop. So I went ahead and I added several Bonus Items to the Videocast. You will receive these from me as a free gift with your purchase:

Bonus Item #1: Certificate for 35 Contact Hours (Value $200)
No other PMP® Audio seminar can give you the PMI required 35 contact hours. We can. Two weeks after you begin listening to your course, you can take our Final Exam, which you need to pass to get the certificate. Take it whenever you want and as many times as you need. And once you have your certificate you can sign up for the PMP® Exam. No other PMP® Audio seminar can give you the certificate just for listening. Look around the internet and you will quickly see that in order to receive 35 contact hours elsewhere you will have to buy a product will at least cost you two hundred dollars.

Bonus Item #2: 60 tough PMP® sample questions (Value $40)
These are not your straightforward PMP® sample questions that you can find on any website. These are tough. And because they are tough, you will find an explanation for each of the answers given. You will be able to understand why the answer chosen is the correct one.

Bonus Item #3: 10 Steps to Becoming a PMP - Email Course (Value $30)
In this 10-part email course we take you step-by-step through the 10 most important activities on your road to becoming a PMP. With each daily email you not only receive an in-depth discussion of today's step, you also get a "Take Action" section. Here you will receive clear assignments and to-dos. You also receive the necessary links to online resources. This email course is invaluable for you as a PMP Aspirant. Follow it and you will not forget anything on your way to becoming a PMP.

Bonus Item #4: The PMP® / CAPM® Exam Study Checklist (Value $15)
This checklist is not only a great resource to find additional exam study materials. You will also find Exam Study Preparation Tips, you get a series of Exam Study Activities, you learn how to can Boost Your Studies, you'll find Exam Taking Activities but most of all you will learn what Your Most Important Study Activity is and how to determine if you are ready.
