PMI‑SVC Chapter Study Groups

Advance your project management journey with a structured, small‑group study program designed for serious PMP® candidates. Our program emphasizes weekly practice, peer discussion, and accountability to help you confidently prepare for exam day.

Why Join Our Study Group?

Targeted exam preparation – Weekly sessions focus on high‑value topics and proven study techniques aligned to PMI‑authorized resources aligned to the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) and industry-recognized study materials.
Expert‑led facilitation – Sessions are guided by PMP‑credentialed practitioners who understand the current exam and how to study effectively.
Interactive, supportive community – Learn alongside peers, ask questions, and share tips in a collaborative environment.
Practice‑based learning – Expect active engagement with exam‑style questions (including PMI Study Hall®) and group review—not passive lectures.

Important: This is a structured study program focused on practice, discussion, and accountability - not

lecture‑based learning.
