Project Management Professional (PMP) (Udemy.com)

60 PDU PMI PMP Certificate Exam Prep by PMBOK 8, PMBOK7 and PMBOK6

Created by: Sorin Dumitrascu

Last updated December 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 3,675 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Sorin Dumitrascu's PMP prep is a big, process-by-process walk through project management. It runs about 64 hours across 758 lectures, and the section list follows the PMBOK6 layout: initiation, scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality. The headline also mentions PMBOK7 and PMBOK8, but the section titles we can see are mostly PMBOK6. It is pitched at beginners. One reviewer is a fashion designer who says it gave her the words to describe work she already did, and another, two years into the job, recognised the same material from his own work.

Praise is steady. Reviewers call it the most detailed PMP course they have tried, like the pace and clear delivery, and say the quizzes and assignments built their confidence. Complaints are just as consistent. Several say the instructor mostly reads text off the slides, with few worked examples and little visual material. Quiz questions are described as generated from the slide text, with duplicate answer options and one that begs for a review. Scores of one or two stars make up about 6 percent of ratings.

About 27,000 students have enrolled, and roughly four in five ratings are four or five stars. The last update was December 2025, so the material is recent. Time is the real cost. Sixty-four hours of mostly slides is a slog if you need variety. As a main study source for a first-timer who absorbs information by reading and listening, it is a solid pick. Add a separate bank of exam-style questions, since this one includes only two practice tests.

Best forCareer changers and first-timers who want a slow, thorough walk through the PMBOK processes before the exam.
Skip it ifYou learn best from visuals and worked examples, or you want a big bank of exam-style practice questions.

Pros

  • Reviewers call it the most detailed PMP course they have tried
  • Covers PMBOK6 processes and PMBOK7 principles together, which one reviewer found a useful bridge
  • Updated December 2025, with 758 lectures, 37 quizzes and 5 assignments
  • Steady pace and clear diction, and it starts from the basics for newcomers

Cons

  • Instructor largely reads slide text, with few worked examples or visuals
  • Quizzes are drawn from slide text, with duplicate answers and review-begging questions
  • At 64 hours it is long, and only two full practice tests are included
I have taken a few PMP courses before and this is by far the most detailed one yet. I am learning so much here.
Samawi Manka, a student

Beginner level fits, since it starts from the basics, though two years of PM experience is listed as preferred.

resourses data needs to be like points. Here you have given the same presentation which is hard to refer

By Tumiso Hlabyago on 9/29/2025

The course was recommended by my husband who has been in the field for over 10 years. It is well structured and contains all the information needed for one to start a career in project management .As a Fashion Designer, this course shows clarity in what I have been doing for years but didn't know how to describe it in a professional setting. Now I can easily describe my roles and responsibilities in a project management role.

By Alejandro Banuelos on 9/5/2025

This course was an excellent match for my needs and exceeded my expectations. I appreciated how it combined both PMBOK6 and PMBOK7 frameworks, making it easier to bridge traditional process-based approaches with the new principle-driven mindset. The content was clear, well-structured, and practical, with plenty of examples that made the concepts easier to apply in real-world projects. I also found the balance between theory and practice very helpful — the quizzes and assignments really reinforced the learning and gave me confidence for the PMP exam. Beyond exam prep, the course provided insights I can apply directly in my professional work, especially around tailoring practices, stakeholder engagement, and governance alignment. Overall, this course not only helped me prepare for certification but also gave me tools to become a stronger project manager. Highly recommended for anyone serious about advancing their career in project management.

By Draghescu Radu on 1/27/2025

This has been the best Project Management course I've ever taken. The course is filled with practical examples that I believe really enrich the learning experience. I also want to express my sincere appreciation for the trainer's dedication. He put in a tremendous amount of effort to create such an insightful presentation, which I’m sure wasn’t easy. Overall, an outstanding course!

By Levi Kennell on 2/15/2023

Overall, lots of great material, but it was difficult to stay engaged with the material because of the way that the power points were structured. Instead of having the spoken words on every slide, I feel like it would have been better to have specific slides with words and other slides with relevant charts, graphics or other visual learning materials. Some of the words documented on the slides could have been formatted better, with bullet points and bolding or color change for important and key terms.

By Trinity Ellery on 5/21/2022

I've always wanted to be a Project Manager and this course will give me the knowledge I need to pass the test and become certified. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in learning about project management, especially for those who are looking to become certified. The course walks you through all of the sections of the test and gives you a real idea of what you can expect. I am going to apply what I've learned here to my own projects and am confident that I will be more efficient and effective in my role as a project manager.

By Chantel Ackerman on 3/29/2022

The Project Management Professional Certification course developed by Sorin Dumitrascu on Udemy is a great way of taking an online class about an advanced topic. The course is well-structured, designed and delivered. Sorin is a knowledgeable instructor and covers the main concepts of project management with competence. This online course is highly recommended for people interested in learning new skills online.

By Gregorios Lambros on 11/16/2020

A detailed explanation of the functions. Goes slow and step by step. A very helpful exercise is how Sorin demonstrates the error conditions projects may return if we go wrong in typing the functions. Made me aware of things I did not know projects had. Surely increased my knowledge about projects management and given me the experience to incorporate the tools in real-life work conditions.

By Sofia Rossi on 10/1/2020

I think this was a great course to learn project management. The only recommendation would be to have students follow along with the slides, instead of them already being figured out for us. Then have a separate downloadable resource for the answers.

By Damyan Radkov on 8/18/2020

After decades in the travel industry, the pandemic forced me to pivot and this course has been invaluable in realistically redefining my scope, branding, and marketing. If you are in the same boat or at the start of a new business, this course is a must! Simply follow the steps, complete them as you go along and you'll have an actionable business plan by the end of it. Good luck!
