We conduct PMP seminars in German and English, using English teaching materials for the German language classes. More about this below.
However, the question often arises whether to conduct the exam in the original language or with translation. Here is our recommendation:
If you speak English well enough:
I recommend taking the exam in English. Doing the exam bilingually - your native language with checking the original English version for unclear words and expressions - can slow you down and make you lose time. In one single language, you will be faster, and time matters during the exam.
If your command of the English language is not sufficient:
Then, you should of course use the translation in your native language provided by PMI. Many candidates have used it and successfully passed the exam with it.
The translated exam allows you to open the original English version of a question in a separate window if you have difficulties understanding the German translation of a word or an expression. Then, as you are prepared for the English exam, you can find the original wording of the text and go back to the translated text with a better understanding and answer the question.
When do you know whether your English skills are sufficient? At the latest at the end of the preparatory seminar with many practice questions, you can assess this very well.
