Eligibility
One of the distinctive aspects of the PMP qualification compared to other project management courses is its requirement for prior project management experience before sitting the exam. The PMI mandates that PMP candidates must possess a minimum of 5 years of project leadership experience (or 3 years if holding a degree) before being eligible to take the PMP exam.
This criterion is set to ensure that only seasoned project managers attain this certification, enhancing its value on your resume. Upon successful completion of the exam, you will earn the privilege of appending PMP to your name.
Additionally, PMI operates numerous local communities worldwide, known as chapters, dedicated to advancing project management practices. These chapters offer support in project delivery, access to templates, and, upon exam success, assist in accruing the 60 professional development units (PDUs) required to maintain your PMP credentials.
