Important PMI Policy Note
PMI policies, eligibility criteria, examination fees, testing availability and training-provider rules can change. Effective 1 December 2026, PMI states that live PMP training used toward the 35-hour requirement must be delivered by a PMI Authorized Training Partner, China Registered Education Provider, or eligible accredited academic programme. Candidates should verify the current requirements directly with PMI before submitting an application. Successful course completion does not itself confer PMP certification.
Certification Pathway
This training is intended to support candidates preparing for the PMI PMP certification process, but completion of the Zabeel programme does not itself confer PMP certification. Candidates will be awarded with certificate of attendance upon meeting the programme attendance requirement.
Corporate Training Courses
Zabeel Institute can deliver the Project Management Training as corporate training, allowing organisations to develop project management capability across project teams, PMO functions, managers and other employees with project responsibilities.
PMP Certification Training is structured preparation for professionals working toward the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from PMI. The Zabeel programme covers modern project management principles, value delivery, leadership, governance, planning, risk, stakeholders, predictive, agile and hybrid approaches, along with scenario-based PMP examination preparation. It is aligned with the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition and the July 2026 PMP Examination Content Outline.
Who is eligible to take PMP certification?+
PMP candidates must meet one of PMI's education-and-experience routes and have professional project leadership experience within the past 10 years. The supplied programme outlines routes requiring 60 months with secondary school completion, 48 months with a recognised associate-level qualification, or 36 months with a bachelor's degree or higher. Certain PMI Global Accreditation Center qualifications and an active CAPM certification can affect the requirements.
Is PMP training suitable for beginners?+
This programme is primarily designed for experienced professionals preparing for PMP certification, particularly people already working in project leadership, PMO, engineering, business analysis, consulting or operations. Because PMP eligibility includes professional project leadership experience, someone completely new to project management may need foundational experience and training before pursuing the PMP credential.
What does the PMP Course syllabus cover?+
The programme covers value delivery, the six PMBOK principles, seven performance domains, governance, scope, schedule, finance, stakeholders, resources, risk, leadership, procurement, quality, change, agile and hybrid delivery, business environment, AI, PMOs and examination preparation. The supplied curriculum also includes application and eligibility guidance, case-based practice, mock examinations and individual study planning.
Does PMP training include exam preparation?+
Yes. Exam preparation is a core part of the programme. It includes current PMP examination domains, scenario-based practice, case and graphic questions, mock examinations, review strategy and an individual study plan. The programme also explains that the PMP examination assesses critical thinking and application of project management practices, rather than testing the PMBOK Guide alone.
What is the current PMP exam format?+
The supplied programme states that the current PMP examination contains 180 questions over 240 minutes, comprising 170 scored and 10 unscored pretest questions. Question formats can include case or scenario questions, graphic-based questions, multiple-choice, multiple-response, matching, point-and-click, enhanced matching and pull-down list questions, depending on the test modality.
Can I take PMP Training online?+
Yes. Zabeel Institute provides the programme through live online delivery, in addition to face-to-face training and corporate in-house delivery. This makes the training suitable for professionals who need a structured PMP preparation programme without attending classroom sessions in person.
Is this PMP Training Course available in Dubai and Sharjah?+
Yes. Zabeel Institute supports learners through its training locations in Dubai and Sharjah, along with live online learning. This allows professionals in the UAE to choose the delivery format that best fits their work and study schedule.
Does completing the course give me the PMP certification?+
No. Completing the Zabeel preparation programme provides the stated certificate of attendance when the programme attendance requirement is met; it does not itself award the PMI PMP credential. Candidates must separately satisfy PMI's eligibility requirements, complete the PMP application process and pass the PMP examination to obtain the external certification.
How many hours of PMP training are required in this programme?+
The programme provides 35 contact hours of project management training. The supplied material states that 35 hours form part of the PMP eligibility requirements described in the programme, while also noting that PMI policies and training-provider rules can change. Candidates should confirm current requirements with PMI before submitting an application.
