Not harder. Different.
PMBOK 7 asked: "How do you run a project?"
PMBOK 8 asks: "How do you run a project AND make sure it matters to the business?"
The technical stuff is the same. But they test more about why projects matter and how they help the company.
Smart thing: We teach both. So you're ready either way.
Yes. That's exactly what the bridge course is for.
If you learned PMBOK 7 somewhere else, we can teach you what's
new in PMBOK 8 in 1-2 days. Then you take the new exam with confidence. The same guarantee applies.
(And we give a discount if you trained elsewhere.)
Three big things:
- AI stuff: How to use AI tools to help you manage.
- Sustainability: Green projects, ESG, that kind of thing.
- Business value: Making sure the project actually helps the company.
These aren't huge new topics. They're woven into everything.
But PMI tests them now. We teach them.
No. If you can watch YouTube or Netflix, you can use our platform.
It's super simple:
- Log in (enter your password).
- Click play on a video.
- Answer some questions.
- Do it again tomorrow.
That's it. No tech skills needed.
Yes. That's why most people here are like you.
Real talk: You need about 60-80 hours total. That's:
- 35 hours in class (we give you).
- 25-45 hours studying/practicing (you do this).
That's maybe 8-10 hours a week for 2-3 months.
Most people squeeze it into weekends and early mornings.
It's tough. But you're already tough. You run projects.
This is just learning to run them better.
Good question. We're honest about this.
Our 98.6% is real. It's based on:
- 30,000+ students we've trained since 2020.
- Only people who actually took the exam (we don't count dropouts).
- First-attempt passes (not total, just first time).
That's the industry standard way to measure it.
Why is ours so high? Because we teach the way the exam tests.
It's not magic. We just focus on what matters.
Depends where you are:
USA: 32% more money (so if you make $100K, you'd make $132K)
Global average: 16% more
Australia: $50K-$70K more per year
UK: £15K-£25K more per year
Also, you get better job titles and more options.
Some people move from PM to Senior PM or Program Manager.
It's real money. That's why people do this.
Yes. We do.
If you:
- Come to all the classes (or watch all the videos).
- Practice on our test questions.
- Take the real exam within 6 months.
- Don't pass.
We refund your money. All of it. (Refund Policy)
We can do this because we know it works. 98.6% of people who
actually do the work pass. You probably will too.
Not a big deal. Here's why:
If you're taking the exam soon, take PMBOK 7 (before July 8)
If you have time: Take PMBOK 8 (after July 9)
Both are real. Both are respected.
Only thing: If you take PMBOK 7, you have to retake or renew
within 3 years. PMBOK 8 might stay the standard longer.
But either way, you get the cert. You make the money. Life goes on.
If you're on the fence, we can help you decide. Seriously.
We're honest about this: (The yellow content no need to add)
We're not the biggest (Simplilearn is bigger).
We're not the cheapest.
But:
- We teach the way the exam works (98.6% pass rate).
- We have real people as instructors (not just videos).
- We care about your success (100% money-back guarantee).
- We're updated for PMBOK 8 and the July changes.
- We're easy to reach (no phone menu hell).
Some people pick us because we feel like humans, not a company.
That matters when you're learning something hard.
It’s a word-of-mouth thing
