Classroom vs Self-study
Many people recognize that each person
prefers different learning styles and techniques.
Everyone has a mix of learning styles.
Arguments both for and against traditional
classroom training for the PMP® exam and
self-study/online preparation are presented
here. It is up to you to understand your
learning style and decide what suits you the
best based on your needs and requirements.
Option 1: Traditional PMP Classroom Training
 Requires least amount of self-discipline as
candidates are guided by the instructor
and must devote certain amount of time to
study over a period of time.
 Can count for 35 contact hours as Local
Project Management Institute (PMI)
chapters and PMI “Registered Education
Providers” (REPs) offer workshops, boot
camps and classes target specific areas
and explain examination techniques.
 Suits those with hands on learning style. For some, hands on experience allows them to
retain more information and remember whatever has been covered more clearly.
 The interaction of a classroom environment suits some as it tends to allow passing of
information that assists in the learning process.
 It is however still wise to combine classroom learning with self-revision. Download our
free app ‘PMP® Exam Mentor’ to revise for the exam. The app covers all 47 processes
with their ITTOs, Knowledge areas with their ITTOs, Glossary, Formulas, Project
Framework, Tips, and mock questions to practice from to add on to your classroom
learning.
Option 2: Self or Online study
 Usually less expensive than instructor led
training and suitable for those with restricted
or unpredictable study schedules.
 Requires large amount of self-discipline.
 Flexible means of achieving 35 contact hours
by undertaking online courses with registered
REPs.
 Provides freedom to study on your own pace
whilst still achieve PMI requirements.
 It is great way to prepare for the exam while
maintaining family and work commitments.
 Suits those with a mix of learning styles
including visual and audio. Multimedia component such as videos, audios, and case
examples can be highly effective for some.
 Having access to forums or teachers through online course means candidates can access
clarifications if needed.
 In depth understanding of the content can be achieved by reading PMBOK® Guide and
PMP Exam Prep: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam.
Deciding what’s best for you
 It is up to you to decide what learning style suits your requirements the most.
 However regardless of what you choose, both online and classroom study require
additional independent study to boost your chances of success
 Undertake self-study by using our free app our free app ‘PMP® Exam Mentor’ which is
an excellent source for your self-study based on PMBOK® Guide fifth edition.
