Project Management Training Dubai

Around The World Project Management

Project management training in Dubai is offered by a number of organizations that also serve other parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) such as Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Increasingly, the providers of project management training in Dubai are combining tutor training with online learning because of the conveniences of the latter method of instruction.

Project management training is mandatory for any project management professional who desires to obtain certification as a Project Management Professional (PMP). Certification as a PMP is done by the Professional Management Institute (PMI) which administers examinations on a global scale. For the rigors of meeting the very exacting requirements of the PMI, PMPs are awarded a certification that has global recognition and which enables them to ply their trade anywhere in the world.

One if the reasons that makes the attendance of project management training in Dubai classes necessary is that one cannot be certified as a PMP without attending at least thirty five hours of formal class room training even if they meet the rest of the requirements by the PMI. The other requirements for people seeking certifications as PMPs are that they possess a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent level of education. In addition, project management professionals who seek PMP certification will be required to have worked as project managers for a period not less than three years. Moreover, such mangers are required to have gained their experience either managing or directing projects.

A second group of project management professionals that the PMI certifies to PMP consists of people who do not hold a Bachelor’s degree but have been working as project managers. For such individuals, the PMI requires that they possess at least five years experience as project managers in a senior position where they have been in charge of directing projects. In addition, such professionals are required to obtain a minimum of thirty five hours of formal class room education in project management. That is why attending project management training in Dubai becomes necessary.

Project management training helps those sitting the examinations set by the PMI because the institute, in an attempt to retain high professional standards, prepares an examination that only thoroughly prepared professionals can expect to pass. Without adequate preparation such as that offered by professional project management trainers, the candidate is unlikely to obtain the necessary pass mark.

The PMP examination consists of two hundred multiple choice questions which a candidate is required to answer in a period of four hours. The pass mark is set at one hundred and six correct answers. In addition to this high pass mark, the PMI tries to discourage people who might lack determination and dedication to the profession by charging rather high fees for the examination. For PMI non-members, the examination fee is $555.
