If you’re working in Bengalaru, also known as Bangalore, there’s a good chance you work for one of the leading tech companies with a subcontinental headquarter in India. You know the big ones:
- Google,
- SAP,
- Oracle,
- Cisco,
- Adobe.
The list goes on. This isn’t even to mention the up and coming, home grown companies which have gone on to have customers all around the world. These companies have complex structures with multiple projects going on at any one time.
You might have run one of these yourself, or been part of one. Your vantage point seeing how the moving pieces all come together, particularly with enabling multiple people to do what they’re good at is a key skill as a project – and people – manager.
Proving you’ve got what it takes, you might be considering doing a PMP Certification online, to try and juggle your workload. I’m going to share some details on places you can do it in Bangalore. But first…
PMP Certification Cost in Bangalore: How Much Will It Cost Me Upfront?
You might be hesitant to put any money upfront, not knowing what the payback is. That’s OK! Having a mindset to not take risks where you haven’t weighed up the pros and cons is the sign of an exemplary project manager.
To help to understand the risk breakdown, I’ve found some costings for you for the PMP Certification in Bangalore institutions:
ExcelR
- ₹12999 – live, virtual classroom
- ₹8999 – on-demand, online learning
StarAgile
- ₹11499 – live, virtual classroom
ITechGurus
- ₹11999 – live, offline classroom
- ₹11999 – on-demand, online learning
These are the top three institutions I could find in Bengalaru, with hundreds of Google ratings amongst them, averaging 4.8 stars minimum. Thousands of students have graduated from their courses and particularly with the live, virtual classroom courses, some even have a PMP pass guarantee. Quite enticing! Let’s look a bit more into each one.
1 – ExcelR (837 reviews, 4.9/5 ⭐️)
ExcelR had the most ratings that I could find online. One after the other, students praised the instructors who had helped them climb what had initially seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. They are one of the ones that do have the Prep Plan and 100% Money Back Guarantee in an effort to garner more students. If you want someone else to take on the risk of helping you pass, ExcelR could be the right one for you.
1 – StarAgile (273 reviews, 4.9/5 ⭐️)
StarAgile was next on the list. Fewer reviews, but still a stellar record with 4.9 stars out of five. I could only find the option to have a live, virtual classroom for StarAgile. Slightly cheaper at 11499 crore, perhaps the reason is that they don’t allow their materials to be accessed separately to being taught? Still a great option if you want to be taught by a master PMP and from institution that operates all over the world.
1 – ExcelR (548 reviews, 4.8/5 ⭐️)
ITechGurus rounds out this short list at 3rd. Honestly, even though they’re at 4.8 out of 5, I don’t think they’re that much worse, especially because they also have nearly 550 glowing reviews.
I think their strongest point is that they have so many mock exams. 25 is heaps and more than the others offer. Also, with the cost being more competitive than StarAgile and ExcelR, I think you’re getting bang for your buck.
So young, tech project manager. Which will it be? Your future prestige as a master PMP beckons!
