Home Resources Frequently Asked Questions

When you’ve got questions, Velociteach has answers.

Our goal is to empower you with the resources and options you need to get certified and get better as a project manager. We’ve got over 20 years of experience training project managers, and chances are the answers to the questions you have are located in the tabs below. If not, please feel free to Contact Us with your question. Our team is happy to assist you.

Do you provide PMP exam application assistance?

Yes! Velociteach has a few different helpful resources to help students fill out PMI’s PMP exam application, including a 25-minute walk-through video. Our team is also happy to answer any application related questions you have and help you in the event of an audit.

Does the 4-day boot camp satisfy the 35 contact hours I need to apply for the exam?

Yes, the course provides you with over 35 contact hours to satisfy PMI’s education requirement.

What does the ‘virtual’ option on the schedule mean?

The ‘virtual’ locations are our course options held online via GotoWebinar. These are live, instructor-led, in real time over four consecutive days, and structured just like our live class—except you’ll attend from your computer so no travel is needed. Attend our Boot Camp without leaving your base camp.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for class?

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.

What is included in the price? Does it include the price of the exam?

Note that the cost of the exam is not included in course tuition and should be paid directly to PMI. We recommend becoming a PMI member first which will save you a little bit of money and provide you with free access to a PDF version of the PMBOK.

Can I share this course with my colleague?

Great question! When you purchase a bundle, each course in that bundle is uploaded to your InSite account. You can activate each course individually which will give you time to pace your learning in a timeframe that is most convenient for you. Remember, the time period begins when you activate the course rather than when you purchase it.

I can’t access my course. What should I do?

InSite Support is available to help you with any issues! Give us a call at 770-424-3535 or email us at InSite@Velociteach.com.

Our courses are mobile friendly, so you can use a computer, smartphone or tablet as long as you have internet access.

How long do I have to finish my course?

That depends on what you buy. Each PDU course will provide you with 6-months access to the online classroom. If you are taking an exam preparation course, you’ll be able to select your subscription length from a larger number of choices (1-week, 1-month, 3-months or 6-months.) The best part is that the time period begins when you activate the course rather than when you purchase it.

Can I see a demo?

Each individual course offers a Free Trial giving you the opportunity to look inside the virtual classroom. Although the access is limited, you can view the full course outline and several unlocked modules to give you a better feel for the content, author and overall class experience! Learn more here.
