Learn from those who’ve already succeeded. Each PMINAC Study Group is led by certified volunteers who have earned their PMP®, CAPM®, PMI-ACP®, or PMI-RMP® credentials and understand what it takes to pass.

Our facilitators bring years of hands-on project management experience from diverse industries — energy, technology, construction, education, and more. They simplify complex concepts, share practical exam strategies, and help you connect what you learn to real-world project scenarios.

Through interactive discussions and ongoing support, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence to approach your exam with a plan — and the mindset of a Project Professional.

Join a community that learns together and grows together.
PMINAC Study Groups are built on collaboration — where professionals and students share ideas, challenges, and successes in a supportive setting.

You’ll engage in open discussion, group exercises, and peer feedback that make complex topics easier to understand and remember. This collective energy keeps motivation high and transforms study sessions into meaningful connections. Many participants stay in touch long after the program ends, continuing to share insights and career opportunities within the PMINAC network.

Our study groups follow a structured, results-driven format that has helped hundreds of participants earn their PMI certifications. Each week, facilitators guide the group through focused topics, review sessions, and practice questions that build momentum and confidence.

The balance of self-study, expert facilitation, and group accountability keeps you consistent and exam-ready. By the time the program ends, you’ll not only understand the material — you’ll know how to apply it effectively as a Project Professional.

PMI members can access a free digital copy of the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition, providing the foundation for all PMI certifications. Having this resource at your fingertips helps align your preparation with the most current global standards and principles in project management.

Facilitators reference the PMBOK® Guide throughout the sessions, showing you how to interpret key concepts, apply them to real scenarios, and prepare effectively for exam questions.

Reinforce your learning through consistent practice. Each study group includes weekly quizzes, knowledge checks, and a comprehensive mock exam near the end of the program.

These exercises simulate the real test environment, helping you identify strengths and close knowledge gaps. Facilitators review results with the group, offering personalized feedback and tips to improve both accuracy and speed — so you go into your exam fully prepared and confident.

Your study group is more than an exam prep program — it’s an entry point into a thriving professional community. Connect with peers, mentors, and industry professionals across Northern Alberta who share your goals and passion for project management.

These relationships often lead to valuable mentorships, job opportunities, and lasting connections within the PMINAC network. Together, we celebrate your milestones and support your continued professional growth.

Each study group follows a structured weekly schedule aligned with PMI’s official exam content outlines.
Every session focuses on a key topic or chapter from the PMBOK® Guide, helping participants build knowledge one concept at a time.

This steady, organized approach keeps you on track and reduces overwhelm — so you can progress with purpose and clarity toward exam readiness.

Our sessions are designed for engagement. Rather than passively reviewing content, participants discuss concepts, analyze case studies, and work through real-world examples guided by certified facilitators.

This collaborative format encourages active participation, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of how project management principles apply in everyday work.

PMINAC Study Groups are designed to fit your schedule. Sessions are typically held virtually, offering the convenience of remote access while maintaining the interactivity of live participation.

Whether you’re a working professional or a student, you can engage with facilitators and peers, ask questions in real time, and access shared resources — all in a supportive, flexible learning environment.

Learning is reinforced through regular assessments. Weekly review activities, group challenges, and a final mock exam help you measure understanding and identify areas that need more attention.

Facilitators provide feedback and strategies for improvement, ensuring that every participant gains the confidence and readiness to succeed on exam day.
