Having worked for many years as an Office Manager and Executive Level Assistant, prior to starting my own business in 1998, I’ve worked with a number of project managers in various industries . As such, I’m somewhat familiar with the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam.

There are a variety of PMP exams available, but the PMP exam, offered by The Project Management Institute (PMI), is probably the most sought after certification in this field.

Preparation for the exam is strenuous and training is required in order to pass. That’s why the PM PrepCast was developed. Among its distinguishing features, this 40-hour long video training course, is the cheapest PMP training available. At less than $100 for the complete course (where other courses cost up to $1,000 for the same training), The PMP Certification training by PMI offers a number of bonuses in addition to their 120 lesson videocast.

This entire system can be downloaded to your iPod or other portable media player for convenience, allowing you to watch it on your timetable, any where you choose–on your way to work, while working out, or even as one customer reported, while swimming!

The PrepCast from PMI is only ideal for busy students and executives seeking PMP Certification who have limited time to study, or who are often traveling; and it’s also perfect for those on a tight budget, who can’t afford the more expensive course of study.

PMI’s PM PrepCast will teach you everything you need to know to prepare for the PMP exam, as well as reviewing the concepts, tools and techniques that come with the exclusive PMBOK Guide, which provides over 75 percent of the knowledge you need to pass this exam.

If you’re looking to become a certified project manager, it seems you can’t go wrong with a visit to the PMI site. What are you waiting for? Your career advancement is ready to begin!
