WIPM SIG PMP® eStudy Group

The PMP exam is very challenging and requires significant preparation - hours and hours of study - to pass the first time. The goal is to bring a structured schedule, peer group support, and wisdom and assistance from project managers who have already passed the exam, to the sometimes lonely and daunting task of exam preparation. The schedule spreads the studying out over time, one phase per week, to fit alongside team members other commitments while maintaining a concentrated study focus. You must be a member in good standing in the WiPM SIG to participate in the PMP eStudy Group.
PMP eStudy Group
Mission Statement

To foster and develop skills needed to pass the exam.

To promote a system for mentoring and networking.

To provide a forum for sharing of project management ideas and resource materials.

The WiPM PMP eStudy Group has an excellent track record in the number of team members who pass the exam on the first try (98% pass rate). All Instructors of the WiPM PMP eStudy group are PMP's and the vast majority of them are former PMP eStudy Group team members.

The WiPM PMP eStudy Group process works to provide team members with the tools to pass the exam. However, team members are asked to study at least 10 hours per week to obtain the desired result. This is a huge commitment in time and energy. It's important that team members allocate the time to the Tuesday and Saturday designated meetings.
