Course Comparison: PMP 35 Contact Hours Vs. PMP Live Lessons

   

This is in continuation of the following posts: 

After availability of two new courses on Project Management Professional (PMP) exam - PMP 35 Contact Hours Online and PMP Live Lessons, two pertinent questions are these:

  1. Which course to go for - PMP 35 Contact Hours or PMP Live Lessons? 
  2. What are the differences?


Do note that both these courses are unique and are ONLY such courses in the world. No one gives moneyback guarantee (but everyone claims to give!), without a number of terms and conditions. Both these courses come with full moneyback guarantee. These are simple, direct and upfront moneyback guarantees. 

Both these courses are now being used by aspiring PMI-PMPs around the world, to clear the PMP exam and/or earn the PMP 35 contact hours certificate.

Fundamental Difference

First and foremost, these two courses vary with their goal(s) and objective(s) with the associated motto. 

For PMP 35 Contact Hours, we have:

  • Goal: Get the 35 contact hours with complete satisfaction. 
  • Objective: Get the 35 PMP contact hours in 6 months.
  • Motto: Don’t just get casually trained for 35 contact hours. Understand fully, learn strongly and prepare well for your PMP exam.

For PMP Live Lessons, we have:

  • Goal: You clear the PMP exam. 
  • Objectives: 1) Get the PMP Contact Hours Certificate. 2) Crack the PMP exam in 6 months.
  • Motto: Learn deeply and use it to crack the PMP Exam.
You can see all the sample videos in this playlist:
Sample Video Playlist for PMP Live Lessons - 43 Videos


Note: Some videos from the above playlist are also part of PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course.

With this background, let's see the other main differences.

Other Main Differences

I’ve outlined other main differences in the below two tables. Actually, it’s one table, but I’ve segregated them into two in order to have better visibility and understanding.

The second part of this table is noted below.

*Note* Price Update [2025]:

  • For PMP 35 Contact Hours: $85 USD/ Rs 7,229 (6 months access) [details]
  • For PMP Live Lessons: $379 USD/ Rs 32,219 (6 months access) [details]


Conclusion

I’ve enabled many PMPs, who have used my book, I Want To Be A PMP and/or Practical PMP with MS Project, Practical PMP with Primavera P6 courses over years to clear the RMP exam. 

Few of them written their PMP Success Stories.

When you purchase the courses, I’m also involved with you throughout your journey. Many providers can’t do that, because they don’t have the subject matter understanding. They are merely course aggregators.

For these two new courses on PMP, I've informed the goals and objectives. I've also outlined other differences. These, I believe, will help you to choose the course of your choice.

With either of these courses, I firmly believe that you:

  • Get the best value for your money.
  • Will have the content with the latest risk management standards, practice guides and the needed books.
  • Will understand the content clearly, which boosts your confidence. 

Above all, if you prepare sincerely, you have a fair chance to clear the PMP exam and be a certified PMI-PMP.

NEW PMI-PMP (PMBOK7) Free Questions and Answers


These PMI-PMP questions are all from PMBOK Guide, 7th edition. These are based on my years of teaching project management practitioners from different industry verticals. 

For over a decade, I've the privilege to teach, interact, and learn from thousands of aspiring PMPs. There have been many successful PMI-PMPs. As interact with them, I also learn the kind of questions being faced. Without them, it'd not have been possible.


This is in continuation of the following posts: 


PMBOK7 Practice questions and answers are also available in the PMP Exam Prep Book, I Want To Be A PMP, which has enabled many PMP Success Stories.

In this post, there are 12 questions, which you can try.  To answer these PMBOK7 questions, you need to have: 
  • Sound understanding of the PMBOK® Guide, 7th edition. All the questions are from PMBOK7.
  • Ability to apply that understanding in situational, scenario-based and contextual environments,
  • Real-world project management experience.

As mentioned earlier, this also addresses the need of many professionals who have requested me to put some sample PMP questions so that can proceed with the PMP Live Lessons or PMP 35 Contact Hours Online Course or PMP Exam Prep Book. All of these have recently updated with PMBOK7 content. 

I hope you enjoy attempting these questions and it helps in your preparation for the PMP exam.

Videos: Lesson 16 – PMBOK7 Management

Video 16.1 – Learning Objectives (3m:27s)
This video explains the learning objectives for the new lessons on PMBOK7 Management, dedicated to the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition. 



Video 16.4 – Key Terms and Concepts (4m:19s)
Several new terms are introduced in PMBOK7, in addition to those used in PMBOK6 and the Process Group Practice Guide (PG2). These terms are essential for progressing further—for example, the definition of outcome. 




Video 16.10 – Principle Statement, Label and Tag (2m: 58s)
For the first time, PMBOK7 introduces 12 principles. Unlike PMBOK6, it follows a principle-based approach to project management. To understand these principles, you need to know the complete statement, the label, the tag, and the associated key points. 



Video 16.11 – Stewardship Principle (7m: 31s)
Stewardship and leadership are two completely different concepts, though many confuse them. PMBOK7 rightly presents them as separate principles: the Stewardship Principle and the Leadership Principle. This video explains the Stewardship Principle (PR). 



Video 16.36 – DALC Performance Domain (10m: 19s)
The Development Approach and Life Cycle (DALC) performance domain (PD) is crucial to understand, as it sets the tone for project planning. It covers not only the development approach and project life cycle with its phases, but also the delivery cadence. This video explains these aspects in detail.  




Video 16.42 – Models, Methods and Artifacts (3m: 02s)
Beyond the 12 principles (PRs) and 8 performance domains (PDs), the PMBOK7 Guide also introduces a number of models, methods, and artifacts (MMAs). These MMAs are applied to the PDs to achieve desired outcomes and deliver value. This video provides an introduction to the MMAs.  



Video 16.49 – Final Words (1m: 22s)
This video concludes Lessons 16 – PMBOK7 Management. It provides instructions to review the material and encourages you to practice sufficiently with PMBOK7 through lesson-end practice questions. In addition, a dedicated PMBOK7 question set is provided for further practice.
