Description
OVERVIEW
With its latest PMI-PBA® certificate, the Project Management Institute is also demonstrating the importance of business analysis in projects. A deep understanding of the processes surrounding project requirements is undoubtedly very helpful for all employees in the project, but it is indispensable for those who are responsible for the content of the requirements.
The special training in the online course is based on licensed material from our U.S. partner Watermark Learning, whose managing directors are involved in the design of this new area on behalf of PMI®. In this respect, you will receive up-to-date and very well-founded material as well as 90 days’ access to the online exam simulator with over 900 sample questions, which will play a key role in your successful passing of the exam. Because only a training under almost realistic conditions makes you fast enough to answer 200 questions in 240 minutes.
Furthermore, this course teaches strategies with which you can “crack” the sometimes difficult questions faster and better, such as exclusion procedures, negation, mnemonic abbreviations or other logical conclusions.
One of masVenta’s basic rules is that trainers of our certificate preparation courses are themselves holders of at least the respective certificate.
LIVE ONLINE EXTENDED
This Live Online Extended course consists of 8 modules of 4.5 hours each (this gives you proof of the full 35 hours required for admission to the exam). PBA courses usually take place on eight consecutive Monday or Friday mornings from 8:30 to 13:00, or on selected afternoons. Special appointments are possible.
We conduct our live online courses as Web conferences. To participate you need a Windows PC, a Mac, an iPad or an Android tablet. Audio transmission can be via IP or telephone (via national landline numbers in many countries). We recommend a Windows PC and a Headset are recommended.
After registration you will receive your individual access data and two reminders shortly before the course sessions. Video recordings of the sessions will be available shortly after the event. They can be used to quickly replay specific parts of the sessions and they are as well very helpful when you cannot make it for one session. You finally won’t miss anything.
If you would like to get an impression, we recommend attending one of our free webinars. You will find current announcements on our event page .
