The Future of PMP® Exam Preparation

Until now, if you wanted to prepare for the PMP® exam using an audio course, you had to buy a bulky and expensive set of CDs. They are heavy and awkward to carry. And once you pass the exam, what are you going to do with those CDs? Podcasting allows us to be the first company to offer an exam workshop as a PMP® Podcast you can download directly to your computer and to your iPod.

Our full-featured PMP® Audio Course fits in the palm of your hand giving you the flexibility to prepare for the PMP exam wherever you take your MP3 player. And it’s a lot more cost-effective…

The Premium Project Management PrepCastcovers concepts, tools and techniques you need to understand and be familiar with to take the PMP® Certification exam. We cover material in the PMBOK® Guide, and we include the necessary models, theories and formulas not covered in the Guide. Our episodes are interesting and engaging. We won’t bore you!

We help you understand these concepts instead of memorizing them. Here is an overview of the topics covered in our PMP® Podcast:

  •  PMP® exam overview
  • The 9 Knowledge Areas from the PMBOK® Guide:
    • Integration Management
    • Scope Management

Over 35 hours of training in all!

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-classroom 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 can offer it to you for just $49.99.

You will also receive these Bonus Items

I decided that we did not want to just provide a downloadalbe workshop. So we went ahead and added several Bonus Items on top of the PMP® Podcast.

Bonus Item #1: Certificate for 35 Contact Hours

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 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. If you look around the internet you will see that in order to receive 35 contact hours elsewhere you will have to buy a product can cost you hundreds of dollars.

Bonus Item #2: 60 tough PMP® sample questions

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

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.

Armed with the PrepCast and your bonus items your preparation for the PMP® Exam will be effortless!

Please don’t get me wrong. I am not trying to say that the PMP® Exam is an easy exam. It is a tough exam that requires your dedication and you will have to study hard. But once you begin listening to the PrepCast I guarantee that your studies will be more enjoyable and go smoother, faster but most of all… they will be easier.

There is no Risk for You!

We are so proud of the PrepCast that I am willing to give you an incredible guarantee: we will take all the risk. Download our 89 episodes right now - listen to them, learn all the secrets and tips that we give and study conscientiously. Now decide.
