  • Create or update your TheProfessional.me profile for access to all class information details, exam preparation learning aids, and class notifications
  • Complete or mostly complete your PMP exam application. The best way to prepare and submit your application is to do so online at PMI's website
  • Members of PMI have access to a free copy of the PMBOK Guide online that may be printed. Students are advised to read the PMBOK Guide prior to class
