Is this course only for engineers?

No. It is useful for people working on projects in construction, technology, services and other industries.

Can I apply if my job title is not project manager?

Yes. Your real responsibilities and experience are what count; your education and experience need to be matched against PMI’s requirements.

The PMP is the best-known international project management certification, issued by PMI and recognized in the job markets of Canada, the USA and the rest of the world: the shared language of project managers across companies and industries.

Fanavaran: the only official, PMI-authorized provider of PMP courses in Persian

The PMP is the leading project management certification in the world, and more than 1.7 million people have earned it. Beyond the professional standing it brings, it shows a project manager’s expertise and level, and proves to an employer how well its holder understands the management side of a project. To earn it, you have to pass the PMP exam.

To be approved to sit the exam, you need three things:

  1. A bachelor’s degree or higher
  2. 3 years of project management experience
  3. 35 hours of formal project management training

Fanavaran is the only Persian-language center officially approved by PMI to teach the PMP course live.

Why does a provider’s approval (ATP) matter so much?

PMI has announced that from December 1, 2026, the hours of live courses, in person or online, can be used only when the course comes from an eligible provider, such as a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP). That is why Fanavaran is the only Persian-language provider able to run this course live for Persian speakers in Canada, the USA and around the world.

To check whether any provider is approved by PMI, look at these three things:

  1. The provider is an ATP, an Authorized Training Partner.
  2. The instructor is approved by PMI and holds its certification.
  3. The instructor is PMI ATP-Certified.

If a provider offering PMP courses is missing any of these three, remember the term Mickey Mouse certificate and don’t trust it.

A “Mickey Mouse certificate” is an informal English expression, not a real credential: a certificate with no serious value or standing. It is very easy to get, no demanding standard stands behind it, and employers and professionals do not take it seriously.

Fanavaran’s project management courses are designed to pass on a project manager’s full knowledge, so participants can work as successful project managers in their own field.

The course instructor, Mohammad Amani, has years of international project management experience and has worked in project management for some of the largest companies in Canada.

Fanavaran is also the only Persian-language organization approved by PMI with full access to the Study Hall questions. This valuable set from PMI’s question bank lets every participant practice with them legally, respecting copyright, and arrive well prepared for the PMP exam.

In short: if you want a PMP that is recognized all over the world, earned through the highest-quality process and strong teaching, Fanavaran is the provider to choose.

More about PMI

The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the organization that issues the PMP certification and publishes the framework of its exam in the Exam Content Outline (ECO). That document sets out the areas candidates are tested on and the kinds of responsibilities they are measured against.

In Fanavaran’s PMP course, project management is taught with the framework and the vocabulary of the field. Why does a shared language matter to a team? When people talk about goals, scope, schedule and expected results in clear terms, coordinating different specialties becomes much easier.

What does the PMP give you?

For many people, this path is a chance to look again at their experience through the shared concepts of project management and to describe their role in projects more precisely.

Preparing for the PMP can help you:

  • Know the common terms and concepts of project management and use them more precisely at work.
  • Describe your past experience in terms of a project’s goals, responsibilities and results.
  • Understand better how scope, time, cost, quality, resources, risk and stakeholders affect each other.
  • When a problem comes up, compare the facts with the project’s plan or criteria and decide on that basis.
  • Get to know predictive, agile and hybrid approaches and when each one fits a project.

Who is the PMP for?

The PMP course suits project managers, project coordinators, site managers, engineers and anyone whose work involves planning, coordinating people, making decisions or delivering results. Your degree does not have to be in engineering: projects run in every field, and the PMP can matter for its holders from construction and software development to biotechnology, film-making or starting a business.

The 35 hours of PMP training

The 35 hours of training are the education part of the PMP exam requirements mentioned above. They have to be project management training related to the exam topics.

Fanavaran’s PMP course has more than 40 hours of training: according to the course plan, about 30 hours of teaching the concepts and about 10 hours of practice and exam questions, in 20 two-hour sessions.

How does the PMP exam work in 2026?

The updated PMP exam in 2026 has three main domains. Each domain’s share of the exam questions is:

Share of the PMP exam questions by domain
PMP exam domainShare of the exam
People33%
Process41%
Business Environment26%

According to the exam outline, about 40% of the questions reflect predictive approaches and about 60% adaptive / Agile and hybrid ones. The new exam also brings topics such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, stakeholder engagement and a project’s effect on the business into its scenarios.

The exam has 180 questions and 240 minutes to answer them. Questions can be scenario-based or ask you to interpret information such as charts, images or project data, and they come in formats such as multiple choice with one or several answers, matching and drop-down lists. Preparing for the PMP therefore depends, beyond knowing the concepts, on reading the question well and choosing the right decision for the project situation.

What do you learn in the PMP course?

In Fanavaran’s PMP course, project management is taught as a connected whole and at a very high level. You learn the main definitions and vocabulary in class, and you learn to see topics such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications and risk together.

The course covers PMBOK editions 6, 7 and 8 and the Agile Practice Guide. Predictive and Agile approaches are both studied, and the business side and the use of artificial intelligence in project management are part of the plan too. Teaching starts from the definitions, continues with examples and scenarios, and goes on to practice and question analysis.

How is an ordinary PMP course different from a PMI ATP course?

ATP stands for Authorized Training Partner: a training partner approved by PMI.

PMI reviews and approves ATP providers to deliver official, instructor-led training. ATP courses are built on PMI’s authorized course content and its requirements for instructor qualifications and the participants’ learning experience. Other courses may also teach project management; for live classes, the important difference is whether the provider is approved and whether the training hours are accepted under PMI’s policies. As mentioned, this difference matters more for live courses from December 1, 2026:

PMI has announced that after this date, the hours of live PMP courses have to come through ATPs. That is exactly what makes Fanavaran different!

Fanavaran is the only official PMI training partner in the Persian language in the world.

That lets Persian speakers take a live, interactive PMP course in Persian from an ATP. To check Fanavaran’s status, open PMI’s official directory and search for Fanavaran.
