Study System

This is the full MindsparQ study system, built from the same material as PMP® Exam Prep for Dummies, 2nd Edition, written by Crystal Richards. No live sessions, no waiting on anyone. You get the content, you set the pace, and you sit the exam when you're ready.

Prepped and Ready

It's the right fit if you study well on your own, already have your project management education hours handled, and want prep material from the person who wrote the book rather than a stack of random PDFs.

What Self Study is, and What it isn't

  • NOT 35 Contact Hours
    If you need formal contact hours, the PMI Authorized curriculum, or a live, instructor-led experience, that lives in our self-paced course on Coursera or live  boot camp courses.
  • Study at your own pace
    Self Study gives you MindsparQ's PMP exam-prep materials to study at your own pace. It is a study aid created by Crystal Richards, author of PMP® Exam Prep for Dummies, 2nd Edition.

  • NOT PMI Authorized Content
    It is not PMI Authorized Training, and it is not delivered under a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP) agreement. Self Study does not include live instruction, feedback, or a certificate of project management education hours, and it is not a substitute for the education requirement PMI sets for PMP eligibility.
