PMP exam prep training is available from many sources, but a large number of candidates are seeking online, web-based PMP prep training for its cost and convenience benefits. However, online training can mean a number of different things to people, including web-based classroom training, reviewing visual material online, collaborating with other students, interacting with training, downloading material, and much more.

Project Management Training Online has been researching what students interested in online project management training value the most. Here is our data, from a sample of nearly 700, about what professionals interested in online PMP prep training want and what is important to them about the training:

1. Over 60% have 5 years or less experience, and another 25% have 6-10 years. Only about 5% have over 15 years experience.

2. Just over 25% work for mid-size companies, and a little less work for consulting or professional services firms. While nearly 20% work for Fortune 1000 companies, the remainder work for small firms, government or other organizations.

3. Over 60% are serious about PMP certification, most of whom need the 23 hours for CAPM, or 35 hours for the PMP. While a few of the rest of those who are "serious" are already CAPM or PMP certified, most are actively preparing and applying to take the exam. The other nearly 40% are just thinking about PMP certification at the moment.

4. Over 75% people seeking online Project Management certification training selected "online, anywhere, anytime web based interactive training" as a preference. Over 50% specified that downloadable CD/DVD-based training was desirable, and just under 50% specified that exam simulations combined with flash cards and study mode features were highly desirable. Between 20 and 40% listed podcasts, video, and online instructor lead training as desired modes of delivery.

5. When asked what they are looking for in project management training the majority mentioned either that they want to satisfy educational requirements and earn certification, or they simply want to increase their knowledge of project management to become more effective in their careers. The rest of the respondents mentioned that convenience, 24x7 availability, the ability to study on their own, and related factors were the most important things they were looking for.

6. When asked how they are evaluating online project management training providers, they mentioned many things, including presentation, understandability of the material, thoroughness, PMI standards alignment, cost, good training portal, case-based examples, lively and interactive, and acceptability by the PMI.

  • The Two Phases Of The Mexican Revolution (Robert Nickel)
    Hindsight is a harsh mistress, capable of teaching important lessons but powerless to change the events of the past or, some argue, truly apply to current issues. When studying the events of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1929, it reveals some interesting points to take away. The leaders and rebels didn't realize it at the time, but their twenty-year fight was effectively divided into two phases, marked by different motives.

  • Venustiano Carranza's Presidency (Robert Nickel)
    The country of Mexico, like all democracies, is governed according to the laws put in place by a constitution, which was written in 1917 and is still used to this day. The President who implemented this document was Venustiano Carranza, one of the 'Big Four' leaders of the Mexican Revolution, who took office in 1915 and was assassinated near the end of his term. He was the latest in a line of men whose presidency was a death sentence...

  • Control Major Bleeding Quickly (Geoff Goond)
    The average adult has about six litres of blood within their body. We do have a small amount of surplus blood in stock, however this can quickly diminish if a wound opens on the skin. The majority of the time we suffer minor wounds that have the capacity to heal themselves. However in more serious circumstances major bleeding can occur, which requires fast thinking in order to stem blood flow, and ultimately save a life.

  • Mexican Revolutionaries: Emiliano Zapata (Robert Nickel)
    Emiliano Zapata was one of the main figures in the Mexican Revolution of 1910, commander of the Liberation Army of the South and still revered as a hero to this day. In his forty years of life, he became a bona fide force of nature. Born to a family of peasants, he was privy to the horrendous treatment of the poor, by rich hacienda landowners, who were able to control much of the land due to the policies set in place by President Porfirio Diaz.

  • Mexican Revolutionaries: Pancho Villa (Robert Nickel)
    When it comes to the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1929, there are a few men who played an extremely large role in the first several years of the fight; one of the most famous is the general Pancho Villa. As the commander of the revolutionary army's Division of the North and the governor of the state of Chihuahua, his role in the conflict was indelible; for better or worse, modern day Mexico would not be the same without him.

  • Pedro Lascurain: President Of Mexico For One Hour (Robert Nickel)
    Popular tabloids love to focus on the shortest celebrity marriages, some of which only lasted for a few hours; there's something bizarre and interesting about seeing an institution that's supposed to last a lifetime dissolve in such a short time period. There's a similar weirdness surrounding extremely short terms of leadership of a country ...but the world's briefest-serving president was a pawn in a larger game.

  • Home Audio Equipment: Choosing Receivers (Mark Etinger)
    The receiver is an integral part of your home audio equipment.

  • The Mexican Revolution: Huerta's Presidency (Robert Nickel)
    When the Mexican Revolution began in 1911, it was tough to discern the exact goals of the rebels. They had ousted president Porfirio Diaz, urged on by the new leader, Francisco Madero. The liberal and conservative factions in the country, who'd been locked in a power struggle for nearly a century, were more antagonistic than ever. It was a situation ripe with opportunity for exploitation and power grabs, and that's exactly what happened.
