The PrepCast gives you 112 video and audio lessons. Each lesson averages 26 minutes length and focuses on one project management concept or process. The lessons cover concepts, tools and techniques you need to be familiar with to take the PMP® Certification exam. It covers the material from the 2008 PMBOK® Guide (4th Edition), and it includes the necessary models, theories and formulas not covered in the Guide.
The video lessons are interesting,engaging and the primary instructor Cornelius Fichtner, PMP is very enthusiastic about the topics presented. He won’t bore you!
One of the main goals of The PM PrepCast is to help you understand concepts instead of memorizing them. Students agree that this goal is achieved and that watching The PM PrepCast is a million times more entertaining that reading the PMBOK Guide.

I travel a lot so having the podcast for airport, planes, and cars was an excellent way to learn the PMBOK information. It was one of the tools I used to pass the exam and it is the best value in the market.

I have just passed the PMP Exam and the PM PrepCast was one of the tools I used. It was very helpful to me to have the content of the PMBOK further explained. Especially since there is a risk to only skim through the better known parts of PM it was great to hear listen to an experienced PM.
Thank you, Cornelius. I will certainly keep using your products.

I passed the PMP exam in March and feel a huge sense of relief. Of the many materials I used to study, The Project Management PrepCast was among them. I highly recommend it from the viewpoint you're feeding your brain the information in an audio format, this reinforcement of information is extremely valuable and the price point was very reasonable. Good Luck to all of you studying for your PMP!

The material to cost is very hard to beat. The information covered and the presentation methods used gather and keep your attention.

It was a great experience to buy and listen to Premium Prep Cast, i helped me a lot in the preparation to the PMP exam, I'll let u know that I passed the exam, the way you use to explain to the students was really invaluable.
Some of colleagues wanted to start that journey towards passing the PMP exam.
Honestly, no hesitation to recommend they buy the premium Prep Cast.
Thanks Cornelius, it is an excellent product. Tell me if you have product of your own for the PgMP, again thanks, good effort.

I passed my exam last Monday.... The PrepCast was a great way of reviewing the contents of the text book in a different way. It helped me view the topics in a more structured way in my mind.

I love the PM PrepCast! The best way to get through tons of information painlessly!
byJennifer, April 19, 2010
Easy to understand and very positive. Rita's book and cds seemed to insult the user at every turn. The PrepCast was much more useful and friendlier.
byKean, April 12, 2010
Excellent! I bought PrepCast with a little doubt but it is worth many times more than its price!
I listened in the car and I watched at home to study for PMP. I repeated the episodes until I can regurgitate some parts of the video and I passed the first time round!
If there's as much dedication and sincerity to creating such a comprehensive study materials in other courses like MCSE etc, I would not hesitate to take on more certifications!
Cornelius Fichtner, thanks for a job well done and thanks for making it affordable!

I loved this series! It was like a guided tour through the PMBOK processes and knowledge areas, using term and examples that were straightforward and easy to understand.
I used this in conjunction with reading the PMBOK Guide (the driest and most boring part of my entire study), as well as the prep guides by Andy Crowe and Rita Mulcahey. I listened to the PrepCast last, and found it to be an excellent wrap-up, put-everything-in-its-logical-place finish to my study.
I passed the exam first try, owing many thanks to the PrepCast!
I wholeheartedly recommend this series. Cornelius Fichtner is one enthusiastic speaker, and he very impressively held my attention through all of the episodes. While this wasn't the only worthwhile part of my study, it was the best in terms of summarizing and cementing my process understanding.
And, if it's possible, I felt I came away good friends with Cornelius!

Simply put, the PM PrepCast will help you achieve your goal of getting your PMP certification.
There is little I can add to the reviews already submitted. I listened to all the PrepCast lessons, attended a bootcamp, read a little of the PMBOK, took the exam and...passed.
The PrepCast supplied most of the information needed to pass the exam. The bootcamp I attended, as it turned out, reinforced the PrepCast.

Simply put, there is nothing else like it.
I passed my exam today, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to Cornelius here.
As other posters have said, there are some mistakes, but the content was well presented in such a way that made the PMBOK not such a dry paperweight.
I purchased Rita’s book and couldn’t get through 1 chapter without feeling like I was being treated like a kindergarten student. I also purchased the PMCampus which also was a big disappointment.
Indeed a tabbed format in adobe would have been easier to allow one to back track, but it is a “PrepCast” and by design, is the easiest way to distribute the course.
The best thing is the PrepCast is yours to keep for future reference, unlike PMCampus which expires.
Thanks Cornelius!

The PMP PrepCast was an excellent experience for me. I really enjoyed the PMPism's supplied by Cornelius and his method of teaching is truly a step by step formula. The PrepCast follows the PMBOK Guide to the fullest and at a level each student can understand and enjoy while learning the methodology, tools and techniques, descriptions and applications. I have used the PrepCast in my personal studies in preparation for the exam, study group meetings and team activities. I cannot express my thanks enough to Cornelius for preparing me for the exam and passing on the first try. I truly suggest every aspiring PMP student, manager, teaching support staff view the PrepCast and use the contents to its fullest. Thanks Cornelius !

At one point of time, I could not put down my video player and I could not have imagined this without the help of this Prepcast! I didn't take any of the classes or the bootcamp. And this was the only audio/video resource I had. It all started when my friend shared the older version of audio. Then I decided to buy the whole set. It was very interesting, very educative not just from PMP exam point of view. The interviews were all fantastic add-ons focussing on real time practices like the one on Critical Chain method. The presentation, content, language were all highly effective. However what I feel could have been avoided was the overemphasis on long unnecessary, redundant phrases like "both in sample questions available online or books", it could have been simply "in sample questions" atleast. But I felt this because I was so eager to hear the main content which was very interesting. And compared to what was offered totally, definitely these kind of things hardly matters and can be completely ignored. Overall a great material, even after the PMP exam.
Thank you.
Thank you.

PM PrepCast has been a big surprise for me.
I'm form Spain and my English is not perfect, but I can follow all lessons. The pronunciation and speed speaking of Cornelius is perfect, so I had no problems in understand the lessons. I think this characteristic is very important for non English people.
I can not compare PM PrepCat with other trainings. But after my research, my opinion is that PM PrepCast is the best option in order to obtain the required 35 hours because of its the perfect balance between price y quality training. Other options I found were in-site, schedule fixed and much, very much expensive.
I have recommended this training to all my master partners.
I will take exam on July. So now I'm studying every afternoon. But every morning can I listen one lesson about what I studied the last afternoon. You can not do that with other training options. I hope I will pass :-)
Best regards.

It's an affordable and easy way to get the required pdu's for the PMP certification exam.
The presentation was concise and methodical. The course along with other study guides enabled me to pass the PMP exam on my try.
I highly recommend it for others who are striving to be PMP certified.

I used this as a means to assess which aspects of PMBOK are relevant for our company's project practice i.e. rather than reading through the PMBOK. And not as an aid for the PMP exam.
The clear layout, small bite size chunks and overview sessions at the start of each section made it very useful for this purpose.
And the podcast format meant I could do this while commuting. Very good.

The PrepCast is an excellent resource for PMP exam preparation. The most important thing for the exam is to understand the concepts with enough detail and the PrepCast does this very well.
The Exam Tips at the end of most episodes help with motivation and keep focused on passing the exam.
I highly recommend this product, you will like the benefit/cost ratio you will get from the PrepCast.

I have been in project management full in one form or another for the past eight years. I have attended several seminars, attended lean engineering trainings worked in healthcare and attended a plethora of webcasts and podcasts. I was not expecting such as quality program at such a reasonable cost and I was pleasantly surprised.
The additional bonus materials are a great addition to a stellar program.
The instructor presents humor in a unique way. The guidelines are reviewed according to importance, the program maintains my interest and staves of boredom, as is often not the case with many webcasts and online training programs.
I plan to use the prepcast website as a frequent resource for assisting me in project management duties.
I have to say that the PM PrepCast is a wonderful tool for preparing for the PMP exam. I had enjoyed every section and Cornelius provides well thought out concepts that make the concepts of project management easier to understand. The prepcast is broken down into manageable segments, much like a work package, and follows a logical pattern of the inputs and outputs. The set-up is easy and the progress through the program is excellent for a busy lifestyle. The reviews before and at the end of the program help reinforce the concepts. I enjoyed the interviews as well. Formulas can be difficult to understand by simply reading and practicing with each problem. The prepcast provides logical and easy to understand explanations for each formula as well as the project situation in which it is used. The multiple processes are arranged in a logical manner that follows the textbook perfectly. Large programs are broken down into easily to understand segments. I have chosen to listen to the entire program again to prepare for my PMP exam. I recommend the prepcast to any wishing to pursue project management.
Sincerely
Joshua Sarver

Easy way to get the information everywhere, When I have few minutes in my office or my car even if I am waiting my lunch in restaurant I use my iPhone to watch or to listen the clear voice and the easy language of the episodes.
Thank you for your effort to make something different.
