It surely has to be PMI when we talk about the most prestigious project manager credential institute. And clearly, the PMI-regulated certifications are also considered to be the best in the industry. Having one of them can change your career entirely, depending on your skills and work experience. However, there is a certain set of conditions set by PMI that must be explained by the applicants before they can apply for either the PMP or the CAPM Test, both of which are two of the most valued PMI certifications out there. Let us dig deeper into the conditions for eligibility needed for each of them.

Eligibility Criteria required for PMP:

Even if one of the two eligibility requirements listed below is clear to the applicant, it is good to go for the PMP certification.

  • To become eligible for the PMP qualification, high school diploma holders will need a minimum of 5 years of work experience. In addition, 7500 hours of experience, leading different projects, and completing 35 hours of PMP Exam prep course are also required.
  • After 3 years of work experience, secondary degree holders and individuals with higher education may apply for PMP. It all comes down to 4500 hours of technical work completed. Nevertheless, the 35 hours of PMP training still remains constant.

Eligibility Criteria required for CAPM:

If the applicant clears out all the eligibility conditions referred to below, it is appropriate to apply for ECBA certification.

  • A high school diploma or some other higher qualification certificate should be held by the applicant.
  • The person must have acquired 1500 hours of work experience working with related projects, regardless of the time frame as a project manager. However, if they successfully complete 23 hours of standardized CAPM Exam prep, individuals without any previous experience may also appear for the CAPM exam.

Based on the above criteria, find out the best-suited certification for you and start working hard to receive your PMI certification as soon as possible to see an increase in your current profile. A big raise in your paycheque can also be brought on by having the same.
