Course Comparison – PfMP Online Exam Prep Vs. PfMP Live Lessons


As announced earlier, two new course are now available for the Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) exam – PfMP Online Exam Prep and PfMP Live Lessons. Next, a genuine and pertinent query is to know the differences. This post informs on it. It addresses these two questions:

  • Which course to go for: PfMP Online Exam Prep or PfMP Live Lessons? 
  • What are the differences between the two courses?

Do note that both these courses are unique and are ONLY such courses in the world. No one gives money-back guarantee (but everyone claims to give!), without a number of terms and conditions (T&Cs). Both these courses come with full money-back guarantee. There are no tricks or deceptive lines. These are simple, direct and upfront money-back guarantees. 

Fundamental Difference

At the fundamental level, these two PfMP courses vary with their goals and objectives and associated mottos. 

For PfMP Online Exam Prep, we have:

  1. One Goal: Get the PfMP hours of learning with complete satisfaction. 
  2. One Objective: Get the PfMP Online Exam Prep Certificate.
  3. One Motto: Don’t just get casually trained on PfMP exam. Understand fully, learn strongly and prepare well for your PfMP exam.

For PfMP Live Lessons too, we have:

  1. One Goal: You clear the PfMP exam. 
  2. One Objective: Crack the PfMP exam in 6 months.
  3. One Motto: Learn deeply to clear the PfMP exam.

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

Other Main Differences

I've included goal and objectives as the first two. Other main differences follow 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 for courses:

  • For PfMP Online Exam Prep: $299 USD/ Rs 25,549 (6 months access) [details]
  • For PfMP Live Lessons: $449 USD/ Rs 42,449 (6 months access) [details]

Time Vs. Money 

I keep on saying: Time is more important than money. Cost can be recovered, resources can be hired, scope can be added, risks can be mitigated, but you can’t recover the lost time. Once gone, it’s gone forever. It can never be recovered. It's not only true for portfolio-program-project management, but also in our own personal lives. Time is the most precious of them all.

A high-quality course with high quality questions takes enormous time to prepare. To prepare for these courses, I've learned and practiced for years. These courses have taken me months to prepare, research and build. As a reader or learner, this is the time (the time I spent working on the course and content) you save. The time saved for you will be in years.

Conclusion

I’ve enabled many PfMPs, who have used my book, I Want To Be A PfMP and/or articles

When you purchase the courses, I’m also involved with you throughout your PfMP journey. Most providers in the marketplace can’t do that, because they don’t have the subject matter understanding. In fact, many have not even used a single Portfolio Management software tool. They are merely course aggregators. They can bring PfMP certified coaches, but they can't be involved beyond the training as they do other work.

For these two new PfMP courses, I've informed the goals, objectives and mottos. I've also outlined other main 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 standards, references and practices.
  • Will understand the content clearly and deeply, which will boost your confidence

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