The ‘virtual’ classes are live, instructor-led classes that are delivered virtually in real time. These classes are structured just like our in-person classes—except you’ll attend from your computer so no travel is needed. Students can ask questions and engage with the instructor.

Prior to class, students attending this course receive an access key to Velociteach’s online eLearning system delivered through InSite. While not required, it is highly recommended that students spend as much time as possible studying the material in InSite prior to attending class. Students also are provided with a pre-class action plan to help jumpstart studying so that students come to class prepared. This pre-class action plan also suggests starting to read our textbook, if received prior to class. The more studying you do before class, the more you will get out of the class – and the sooner you will be ready to sit for the exam!

Those who plan to take the PMP exam upon completion of this course should meet PMI’s requirements for PMP certification and complete the exam application process with PMI. It is highly recommended to at least begin the application prior to class, even though you will likely wait to submit until after the course to record the 35 education hours the course provides.
