Our course will not just provide you the required hours but will also help you prepare for the exam.

Our courses and training provide contact hours and PDU (Professional Development Unit) that are recognized by PMI. A certification applicant will receive contact hours that meet the education requirement of relevant certifications. On the other hand, a certified PMP will get PDUs that meet the CCR (continuing certification requirement) for relevant certifications.
