If you’re passionate about education, edtech, or just love a good success story, here’s a milestone worth celebrating: Brainscape has officially partnered with Instructing.com, one of the biggest names in PMP® exam preparation, to co-create a world-class set of adaptive flashcards for project management professionals.
And while that’s great news for PMP candidates (because the exam is brutal), the bigger story is what this means for the future of learning, Because at its core, this collaboration is a demonstration of what can happen when two educational powerhouses combine their strengths.
Instructing.com, led by Joseph Phillips, a trusted and experienced PMP instructor, brings decades of exam-specific expertise. Brainscape brings the engine: a smart, adaptive flashcard app for web and mobile that’s scientifically optimized for fast learning and long-term retention. The result? A best-in-class flashcard collection that makes it faster and easier to learn the core concepts of project management.
The Fruits of Collaboration: An Expert-curated PMP Study Weapon
The PMP® exam is hard. Like, 180 questions in 230 minutes hard. Like, "hope you like scenario-based questions that test your theoretical knowledge and your ability to manage chaos under pressure" hard.
The collaboration between Brainscape and Instructing.com, however, provides the world’s most efficient learning system for ingraining and retaining all the foundational content for this exam.
These PMP flashcards:
- Cover all essential concepts and terminology in the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) and other widely-used test prep resources like the PMBOK Guide.
- Break down complex ideas into a Q&A format easy for bite-sized study sessions and fast digestion.
- Use spaced repetition and other proven cognitive science learning principles to help users understand and retain information fast.
- Empower students to study on the go: anytime, anywhere, and on any device… even offline, if they download their flashcards beforehand.
- Adapt in real time to attack a learner’s unique weaknesses, while saving them time on reviewing the facts they already know well.
This makes Brainscape’s and Instructing.com’s PMP flashcards a powerful study tool to permanently retain the concepts taught by whichever instructional materials or review courses a candidate is taking.
