Training and Certification Approach

The course will be delivered over 5 days, in four 5-hour sessions (10:00-3:00 pm EST) and then concluding with the exam on the last day (w/total class time 10:00-12:00pm EST).

Upon course completion, participants will be eligible to schedule for the BRMP® exam, which will be offered online on the last day of class. The exam can also be scheduled later to be done at an APMG center or online through the APMG remote proctoring capability. The exam takes 50 minutes, comprises 50 questions, with a passing grade of 60%.

Along with a practice exam, we will have quizzes and plenty of time for class discussion to help in your learning. I will enrich the course with valuable anecdotes from my many years as a BRM, along with time training and consulting in this area across a variety of companies.

Upon enrollment, you will receive a free 3-month trial BRM Institute Professional Membership. This membership provides you with an opportunity to get involved in the global BRM community, interact with peers, gain access to valuable tools/templates, and shape the future of the BRM discipline.
