Course overview
The PMP certification is the global standard for experienced project managers. It shows you can lead projects in any way of working — predictive, hybrid or agile — without being tied to one methodology or one industry. With more than 1.7 million PMP holders worldwide, it’s the most widely held project management certification there is — the credential that hiring managers already recognise, wherever you go.
This course is fully restructured for the PMP exam that took effect on 9 July 2026. The curriculum runs on the updated Exam Content Outline and the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition. The Business Environment domain now makes up 26% of the exam, up from 8% — a shift toward value delivery and strategic alignment — so this course spends real time there, not as an afterthought.
Skillet is a PMI Authorized Training Partner at Premier level, the highest of PMI’s ATP tiers. We became a PMI Authorized Training Partner in 2025. At the 2026 PMI APAC ATP Honors, we received the Emerging Partner Achievement Honor. The course runs on PMI’s current instructor and participant materials — so what you study is what PMI itself teaches, not a third-party rewrite.
Who should attend
Experienced project managers
You are already running projects and you want the credential that proves it. This is your first attempt at the PMP exam.
Anyone re-sitting under the new exam
You prepared for the old exam and did not pass, or you paused. The July 2026 structure is different enough that old study material will work against you.
Team leads and senior managers
You run cross-functional or multi-department work without the project manager title, and you want a structured way to do it rather than a personal system.
CAPM holders moving up
Your active CAPM already waives PMI's 35-hour training requirement. This course is the step to full PMP.
