Advanced Project Management Certificate
Experienced project managers who want a single program that combines fundamentals, simulation practice, and full PMP exam preparation.
Overview
The Advanced Project Management Certificate (APMC) is our most complete project management program. It combines self-paced online fundamentals, hands-on simulation workshops, and a full PMP exam preparation course into a single credential pathway you can complete in any sequence.
You finish with a recognized Petersen Training or university partner certificate, the 35 contact hours PMI requires to sit for the PMP exam, and continued access to our Exam Simulator and instructors until you certify. Every instructor in the program is PMP-certified and holds an advanced degree. The people who built the simulations and exam-prep tools are the same people who teach them.
