Mentored Email™ Project Management Training

"O Lord God, when Thou givest to Thy servants to endeavour any great matter, grant us also to know that it is not the beginning, but the continuing of the same unto the end, until it be thoroughly finished, which yieldeth the true glory."
Sir Francis Drake's Prayer: May, 1587

Mosaic's Mentored Email™ Training is available anywhere in the world.

As a PMI approved Global Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) Mosaic's CAPM and PMP Mentored Email™ training courses are pre-approved by PMI to deliver appropriate course content - our training certificate issued on completion of the course is automatically accepted by PMI for:

23 Hrs of training for CAPM candidates.
35 Hrs of training for PMP candidates.

Mentored Email™ course fees are:

CAPM = AU$880.00 (approximately US$725) - [ Download Course Plan ]
PMP = AU$1,100.00 (approximately US$900) - [ Download Course Plan ]

Mosaic's Mentored Email™ self-paced Exam Prep is designed for individuals who work most effectively at their own speed. The information needed to pass your examination is provided in 16 modules for PMP candidates, 12 modules for CAPM. Each module includes the delivery of reference materials, followed by test questions and feedback on the answers provided. The three components of each module are designed to work together to reinforce the student's learning. As the course progresses, questions test the student's knowledge of previous modules as well as the current one.

Regular feedback is provided to each trainee showing their overall score and their score against each of the topics. This helps highlight areas of strength and areas needing more study. Mosaic's email based support service is available to help trainees with any questions they may have and to provide additional guidance as needed.

The course materials build into a comprehensive manual for revision and future reference. As part of the course fees, Mosaic provides a complete index system and, within Australia, binders to store the printouts from each module.

Typical Module Structure - 3 Hrs per module (timing is for a weekly turnround)

Topic reading list and Questions emailed to trainee (day 1). The reading list will include references to the PMBOK Guide, other freely available information and extensive proprietary information from Mosaic’s resources. Reading time should be 1 to 2 hours.

The module questions in the same format as the PMI examination are forwarded at the same time. Questions relate to the current topic (10 questions) and revision of previous topics (10 to 15 questions). Trainees should attempt to answer all questions in approximately 20 minutes using either an 'open book' or closed book depending on the trainees preference.
Trainee provides answers (day 5 or 6). Questions are checked for accuracy.
Evaluation emailed to trainee (day 7). Mosaic's Mentor provides feedback on the trainee's answers (both why answers are correct and why answers are wrong). Where required, additional reference materials are recommended or provided to the trainee. Review time should be approximately 1 hour.

The next module is normally forwarded shortly after the current module is returned. Trainees wishing to fast-tack their training typically receive modules on a pre-agreed schedule; it is possible to achieve a throughput of 8 to 10 modules per week if needed.

Passing your examination requires skill in answering PMI's multiple choice questions. The Mentored Email™ process provide access to approximately 400 questions during the course designed to provide all of the practice needed to hone your skills and maximise you chance of success. Each question is returned with a complete answer, by reviewing the answers, trainees learn why some options are correct and why others are wrong. Mosaic's scoring matrix lets each trainee know the topics needing more work and where they are comfortably on track for a pass. (PMP courses also include a 30 day licence to Mosaic's PM Final online exam simulator).

Individual students will complete the whole course using this delivery option, in their own time and at their preferred pace of working. Where groups of people can be organised (eg via a PMI Chapter or within a business), Mosaic's 'Blended' courses may be preferred.

Mosaic courses with a "Mentored Email™" delivery option are:

Practical PMP - (view course plan) and
Practical CAPM - (view course plan)

Note:- All email courses require the trainee to have access to an email system capable of receiving 'locked' PDF and Excel files (the 'lock' prevents alterations - printing is always enabled).

Course Design

This course is designed to include ‘just enough’ material to achieve our target benchmark and for you to pass the PMP examination. Our benchmark is for people achieving 80% in this course to score around 70% in their PMP exam (roughly a 10% safety factor). No one outside of the PMI exam area knows the exact makeup of the current question pool (this is updated 2 or 3 times a year) or the current reference sources beyond the PMBOK used for developing questions (although we have a good idea of the key reference texts). Developing a ‘complete course’ covering all of the possible topics would at least double the amount of work you need to do (and the cost of the course) for no additional benefit; as one successful candidate pointed out: ‘when it comes to the exam anything over 61% is wasted effort’.

We are continually adapting and updating the course contents to keep them aligned with the current PMP exam as it is evolving.
