Course Description
Still Studying Process Groups? That Exam Is Gone.
The 2026 PMP exam is a complete reset. The PMBOK Guide – Eighth Edition has retired the familiar 10 Knowledge Areas and introduced a principle-based, value-driven framework with 7 Performance Domains. If your study materials still show you 49 processes in the old structure, you're preparing for an exam that no longer exists.
This course bridges the gap between what you know and what the 2026 exam actually tests.
What Changes in 2026?
The new PMP Certification Exam Content Outline (ECO) shifts focus to three weighted domains: People (33%), Process (41%), and Business Environment (26%). Approximately 60% of questions now cover Agile and Hybrid approaches. For the first time, the exam includes case-study sections with scenario-based questions, graphic interpretation items, and tests your ability to apply AI and sustainability considerations to project decisions.
What You'll Master
This course decodes the PMBOK 8 and the 2026 ECO so you can answer situational questions with confidence:
→ The 3 Exam Domains & 26 Tasks: Learn what PMI actually tests—from "Develop a common vision" to "Evaluate external business environment changes"—and how to recognize each task in exam scenarios.
→ The 6 Principles in Practice: The exam tests judgment, not memorization. You'll internalize principles like "Adopt a Holistic View," "Focus on Value," and "Be an Accountable Leader" so you instinctively select the right answers.
→ The 7 Performance Domains: Master Governance, Scope, Schedule, Finance, Stakeholders, Resources, and Risk—the new organizing structure that replaces the 10 Knowledge Areas.
→ The 5 Focus Areas: Understand how Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing have been reimagined as flexible Focus Areas rather than rigid sequential phases.
→ AI, Sustainability & Modern Trends: New to the 2026 JTA. We cover how these topics appear in exam questions so you're not caught off guard.
→ New Question Formats: Practice with case scenarios, graphic-based questions, drag-and-drop matching, and hotspot items—formats unique to the 2026 exam that most prep courses don't cover.
→ Case-Study Strategy: The 2026 exam introduces multi-question case scenarios. Learn how to read them efficiently, manage your time across the 240-minute exam, and avoid common traps.
What's Included
✓ 35 contact hours of instruction (satisfies PMI's eligibility requirement—no additional courses needed)
✓ 2 full-length mock exams (360+ questions) mapped to the 2026 ECO
✓ Timed practice reflecting the real exam: 180 questions, 240 minutes, two scheduled breaks
✓ Downloadable study guides for each Performance Domain
✓ Scenario-based practice questions after every section
✓ Coverage of all new question types: case studies, graphic interpretation, matching, and hotspots
Who This Is For
This course is designed for professionals who already have project management experience and need a focused, efficient path to the 2026 PMP credential. The 35 contact hours included satisfy PMI's training eligibility requirement completely. If you've been putting off your PMP because you heard the exam was changing—this is your starting point.

This course is aligned with the PMBOK 8th Edition and provides a well-structured way to learn the topics covered on the PMP exam. I am not a native English speaker, but I was able to complete the course by making use of Udemy’s transcript feature and AI tools. The exam content is organized systematically, and important concepts and terminology appear repeatedly across multiple chapters. This created a natural form of spaced repetition and helped reinforce my understanding and retention of the material. The only disappointing point was that transcripts were not available for every chapter. Since the transcripts are provided by Udemy rather than added by the instructor, I hope Udemy will improve this feature in the future. Finally, Mr. Dumitrascu was always kind and thoughtful in his responses to questions, and his support was very reassuring throughout the course. Thank you very much for providing such an excellent course and support.

The subjects are clearly explained and the key concepts are often repeated and this help a lot the comprehension and the memorisation.
By Udemy User on 6/30/2026
The content was really boring and hard to follow. I do not feel like the content provided me the necessary information to put it to practice and answer the questions well.
By Asia St John on 6/16/2026
I am about halfway through the course right now and loving it. The lectures are clearly spoken and pleasant, the images and lectures are highly informative and describe things in easy to understand ways. There are a lot of resources available as well, that are very helpful. When I first reviewed this course when it prompted me to in the beginning, I didn't realize I was supposed to be reviewing the whole course from the way Udemy prompted me, and I found a few small instances of the images and lecture out of sync jarring. But those parts were easy to understand in context, and and it hasn't happened since then in the lessons. High quality material and much appreciated.

Die Beispiele und Aufbereitung der Inhalte sind sehr hilfreich. Leider fehlt bei den Folien und Diagrammen ein wenig die Stringenz (sehr unterschiedlich in Layout und Tiefe des Inhalts). Manche Folien enthalten Tippfehler oder der Wechsel zur Folie, die gerade erklärt wird, ist stark verzögert.

I retired from public sector after working for more than thirty years as project manger. My passion always to teach. I really enjoy the frame work and graphic representation of basic concepts of Project Management.
By Caroline Acklam on 4/12/2026
I'm very early in the course and expect it to improve. I didn't appreciate that assignment 1 was only available on a Desktop. Seems a bit antiquated to not have the entire course available either on a phone or iPad.
By Richard DeJohn on 3/24/2026
Yes, this class verifies all the knowledge I have accumulated over the last 30 years as a project manager.
By Samantha Patterson, CPC, CMC, CRHC on 3/23/2026
This is really informational as I have only used the books before, but knowing what has changed also will help me know areas to study and learn to apply for an updated approach in work processes.
By Alex Gomez on 2/15/2026
Half-way through the course is good and explains things fairly well. One point of contention to the makers of the formatting of the course.... The slides do not evenly match the lecture and talking points. Sometimes the wording is behind or ahead of the slide. This is especially hard when the wording references directly a slide. The concepts represented could go with the words so you don't have to memorize and flip back and forth through the slide to see the visual reference.
