How Learning Tree Courses Align with PMI
Although our courses are not specifically designed as preparatory PMP® exam courses, PMP® exam candidates definitely benefit from taking the courses in the Learning Tree Management Curriculum. In addition to providing the skills that project, programme and people managers need to be successful in the real world, our course material is aligned with the PMI document called The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide - Third Edition), on which the PMP® exam is based.
