PMI requires no introduction in the field of project management. It is one of the best institutes that is responsible for regulating the various certifications for project managers. These certifications are highly in demand in the professional world and can help the professionals to boost their career to a great extent. The best certification that is regulated by PMI is the PMP, which can only be gained after a professional has gained adequate PMP training and quite a lot of work experience in the practical field.
Who should apply for PMP?
Professionals who have been working in the field of project management for a long time now but are not gaining regular growth can apply for the PMP certification. However, any of the professionals who decide to apply for the same must be ready for a whole lot of hard work for the PMP prep to clear the certification exam.
Who can apply for PMP?
- If you are planning to apply for PMP, you should fulfill the below-mentioned eligibility criteria:
- Applicants with a high school diploma can apply for the certification after gaining 5 years of work experience along with 7500 hours of working in the practical field. Similarly, the applicants with a degree or any other higher qualification should gain a minimum of 3 years of work experience along with 4500 hours of professional working to apply for the certification exam.
All the applicants also should mandatorily complete the 35 hours of PMP exam prep course before they can appear for the certification exam.
However, there must be a number of project managers in the working field who have not yet acquired the required work experience. Moreover, there are also a number of fresh graduates coming up each year who wish to excel in the field of project management. To get themselves PMI certified, they can apply for the CAPM certification exam which also has a great demand in the professional world; however, the key is that it does not require any mandatory work experience to apply. Eligibility can be checked through PMI official website.
