Frequently Asked Questions about the PM PodCast Exam

How do I take the Final Exam?

According to PMI rules, you can receive your 35 contact hours from various training providers. One of them is "Distance Learning Companies", which we fall under. For this category, an End of Course Assessment is required. Here is how this End of Course Assessment works when you study with our Podcast:

  • Two weeks after your purchase, you will find Episode 99.00 in your podcast list.
  • The 2 week period before you receive the instructions is necessary for us to have some assurance that you have listened to all the episodes and that you have achieved the desired training goal. We will not release the information about the final exam to you before the end of these two weeks. It would be against the PMI Code of Ethics.
  • This episode contains a PDF document with instructions on how to take our "Final Exam".
  • This Final Exam is a 25 question, multiple choice exam. You will need to answer 17 questions correctly in order to pass the exam and print your certificate.
  • There is no time limit after these 2 weeks as to when you can take the exam. You can take it after 2 weeks, 2 months or even wait for a year.
  • Also, you can take the final exam as often as you need until you pass. After you pass, you can download your 35 Contact Hour certificate (recognized by PMI). 

Two weeks after you first purchased the PM PrepCast you will find episode 99.00 in your iTunes that contains instructions like below:

You simply double-click on the episode to open the instructions. The PDF document will tell you how to take the Final Exam. It is an online exam that you take on our website.  Remember - this is not an email but an episode in iTunes and you have to wait for 2 weeks until you see it (during those 2 weeks you are supposed to listen to the Audio files).

Will I receive 35 contact hours?

Yes. The PM PodCast offers over 35 hours of quality PMP audio training and once you pass our online test you will receive a 35 Contact Hour certificate (recognized by PMI).

When will I receive the certificate for the 35 contact hours ?

Once you pass the exam you can download and print your certificate. The certificate is recognized by the PMI.
