What the PMBOC does is to set a definitive (although low) bar that allows nearly anyone to memorize it in order to earn a PMP certification. This provides a lot of money for the organization for very little output. No wonder that literally hundreds of companies advertise that if you take their PMP prep course, that they will guarantee that you will pass your exam. This guarantee is not based upon the learner's experience or prior training. {| |- | http://www.etherlook.com/ |}
