  1. WHAT IS PMP CERTIFICATION? This is a certification for project managers to have them recognized in the industry and is considered one of the most weighty and essential credentials for project managers today. Thousands of aspiring project managers are obtaining PMP certification online and paving ways to stable and productive careers. Recent studies and surveys have also revealed the positive effects of project management certification on the salaries of project managers. The important thing is that this particular certification is specifically for project managers who have been in the field already

  2. IMPORTANCE OF PMP CERTIFICATION. If you look online at job postings for project managers you will realize that with time the requirement for project management certification is increasing. This clearly shows that companies are showing preference in choosing individuals with proper certification for the job. While this increases the probability of getting selected for a job and being eligible for more jobs, the best benefit comes in the form of great remunerations. The certification you receive from PMI for your project management certification is recognized globally. This means the project manager certification for you open huge doors of bigger and better opportunities all over the world for you.

  3. WHERE TO GET PMP CERTIFICATION FROM? You can prepare for obtaining the credential through several means available to you or with your personal knowledge that you have gained while working as a project manager. However, to obtain the credential and certification you must pass the test designed and conducted by PMI (Project Management Institute). You have to go through an application process and pass the exam within the allotted time period and then maintain the credential through CCR (continuing certification requirements) program to get your PMP certificate. All the procedure to qualify to give the exam can be completed online or through mails.

  4. HOW TO APPLY FOR PMI CERTIFICATION? The first step that needs to be taken by an applicant is to visit the PMI website. The user will have to register on the website and then log in to access the online system of PMI that will be used by the applicant from applying to the continuing process of renewal of the certification. After logging in the user needs to fill out the online application to apply for the certification. This application can also be printed out for those who want to submit the application through mail. After submission of the application the costs must be paid in order to schedule the exams. After your application has been selected by PMI the audit process of your documents starts and continues for 5-7 days. As soon as the audit phase is over you are eligible to be a part of the exam

  5. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION. • 35 contact hours of formal education is the most important thing to remember here because this particular requirement is the same for both, people with associate degrees or high school diploma and those with bachelor’s degree. Now, candidates who have secondary degrees i.e. associate’s degrees/high school diploma or an equivalent of them globally must furnish their credentials showing at minimum 5 years of project management experience excluding any overlapping periods in projects. 7500 hours in this 5 year of experience must be spent as project leader or director. • A candidate who has a 4-year degree, which is a bachelor’s degree, must have 36 months of experience in project management as a professional but this experience must not include the overlapping periods of the projects as double time. The candidate must have spent 3500 hours as a leader or director of projects to be eligible for the certificate . • The idea of overlapping must be understood here. If you have two projects going on at the same time starting from January to March, you will count them as 3 months and not 6 months. If one started in January and ended in May while the other project started in April and ended in June, the months will be counted from January to June i.e. 6 months. You won’t count them as 8 months considering the 5 months of the project that started in January and ended in May and adding up the 3 months of the project that started in April and ended in June.

  6. AN IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR PMP ASPIRANTS. • Here’s something that will be very useful for students who are seeking project management online courses. First, always pick the school or institute that has its accreditation information given online. However, even more important is to choose the institutes that are R.E.Ps. The abbreviation R.E.P. stands for Registered Education Provider. These institutes and bodies are registered with Project Management Institute (PMI) to provide candidates with education on project management and prepare them for the certification exam. What’s the biggest benefit of taking a course from them? • The biggest benefit of choosing the project management schools that are registered with PMI or are R.E.Ps is that your requirement for 35 hours of project management education, which is the pre-requisite to be selected for PMP certification, is fulfilled while preparing for PMP exam in these schools. Their course prepares students on the latest edition of PMBOK Guide which is the primary and most important resource to prepare for PMP exam. The course is often 35 hours long so one of the compulsory requirements of submitting the application to PMI is already fulfilled here.

  7. It is true that you don’t necessarily have to study from an R.E.P. for project manager classes in order to obtain the 35 hours of project management related education and other schools can also fulfill these requirements. However, R.E.P.s are the most reliable schools for obtaining spending these hours since they guarantee you that the hours will be credited towards your requirements. There are instances in which your education will not be applied towards the hours needed to fulfill the basic PMI requirement for PMP test. You might want to read in detail about this on PMI’s website. • Don’t forget to be a member of PMI if you want to stay updated with the latest material on PMP tests and any information from around the world that is related to project management. Not to mention, project management professionals are in demand today and you better avail the opportunity before the market gets highly saturated.
