Eligibility
The PMP certification sets itself apart from other project management courses by requiring project management experience before taking the exam. PMI mandates that candidates document 5 years of project leadership experience (or 3 years with a degree) before applying for the exam.
While this requirement may seem daunting, it underscores the prestige of the certification, signaling that you're an experienced project manager capable of passing a rigorous 200-question, multiple-choice exam. Upon completion of training and passing the exam, you can add "PMP" after your name.
Moreover, PMI has established global communities of practice called Chapters, dedicated to advancing project management. These Chapters offer support in project delivery, templates, and can help you accrue the 60 professional development units (PDUs) needed to maintain your PMP credentials after passing the exam.
