PMP Exam Prep Seminar - Earn 35 PDUs by completing the entire PMP course
Created by: Joseph Phillips
Last updated February 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 119,273 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a full PMP prep seminar from Instructingcom, a PMI Registered Education Provider, taught by Joseph Phillips. It runs about 29.9 hours and is built around the PMBOK Guide, sixth edition. The main draw is the 35 contact hours that PMI asks for on the exam application. Those are earned only by finishing every video, assignment and exercise. The course says plainly that it is not for new project managers.
No review text is available for this course, so there is no student praise or complaint to report. The data does show a 4.6 rating across 119,273 ratings. The description promises two 200-question final exams, 20 questions for each PMBOK section, and coaching segments meant to keep people going. Phillips has written several project management books, and the course leans on that authority. The risks are visible up front: it is long, the credit depends on completion, and it is tied to the sixth edition.
On value, 35 contact hours from a registered provider plus two full practice exams in one purchase is hard to ignore for anyone who needs the hours. Check that the sixth edition matches the exam being studied for before buying, because that is the biggest question mark. The description points it at working project managers who need the credit. Anyone after a quick refresher or a general project management guide should look elsewhere.
Pros
- Earns 35 contact hours from a PMI Registered Education Provider, which the PMP application requires
- Two 200-question final exams plus 20 questions per PMBOK section for practice
- Rated 4.6 across 119,273 ratings, a very large base of student feedback

Cons
- Built on the PMBOK Guide, sixth edition, so check it matches the exam version you are studying for
- Contact hours only count if every video, assignment and exercise is completed
- Not meant for new project managers, and it is a long commitment at 29.9 hours
Listed as All Levels, but the description says it is not for new project managers.
