Are you aware that the PMP exam changed substantially as of 1/1/2021, and PMI has now published their own courseware for the PMP exam – available only to PMI ATP (Approved Training Partners)? I would have expected that you would have included a requirement that the provider be a PMI ATP, otherwise you have no assurance that the training you will receive is appropriate for the current version of the PMP exam and the courseware will not have been approved by PMI. (Although it may still be accepted as the 35 training hours required.)

Must be a PMI ATP (Approved Training Partners)

Have you had a vendor provide PMP training for you in the past? If so, who - can you please provide the contract number and a copy of the contract as per FOIA.

There is no prior procurement related to this request.

Is your expectation that students gain an in-depth understanding of PMBOK version 6 or PMBOK version 7? Neither is really required for the current version of the exam, particularly if using the official PMI courseware.

The intent of the course is to prepare the students for the PMI certification exam and it is the discretion of the instructor to prepare the students with the most recent and relevant information of the PMBOK to assist in passing the exam.

Please can you clarify, when it mentions “ include one retest”, is that a retest for the Practice exam or the actual PMI exam?
