A student who is considering the best online PMP® classes for his or her needs must first consider the length of each course. Although online PMP® classes generally do not have a particular time frame in which they need to be completed, the classes are only offered for a particular time period. For example, upon registering for an online PMP® class, students can attend the classes and review the study material at any time that is convenient for them for a period of 90 days. In this example, a student would need to ensure that he or she could gain a thorough understanding of the study material within the 90 day time period. It would also be in the best interest of the student to take the PMP® examination shortly after completing the classes.

The best online PMP® classes will be offered by educational providers authorized as registered educational providers of the PMI®. These providers have been successfully audited by the PMI® and their curriculum has been determined to be sufficient in preparing students for the PMP® examination. The PMI® requires that PMP® candidates have completed 35 hours of education in project management, in addition to a four-year degree and three years of related experience. Candidates with a high school diploma or global equivalent can substitute two more years of practical experience for the degree. In either case, the best online PMP® classes will fulfill the requirement of obtaining 35 hours of education in project management.
