The Minnesota Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI MNĀ®) provides several PMPĀ® prep classes each year. The classes include the shared perspectives of a diverse teaching team, comprehensive study guides and sample questions. The course is an exceptional value for PMI MN members (discounted price) and for non-members.
Two formats used are:
- Evening classes over eight weeks: Three times a year, we offer classes running from 6:00 to 9:00 PM one day a week for eight consecutive weeks for a total of 24 hours. Local organizations donate their facilities for these classes.
- Daytime classes*: Once a year, we provide a PMPĀ® preparation class in conjunction with our Professional Development Days (PDD) for a total of 24 education hours over three days.
*Daytime classes during PDD will not be taking place in 2020 as the PDD will be held as a two-day virtual conference due to the current Covid-19 situation.

PMIĀ® members planning to submit their qualifications to PMIĀ® World Headquarters so they can take the PMPĀ® certification exam are welcome to attend a special question-and-answer session about filling out the application. These sessions are open to all at no charge.
