Though there are now a number of people who are getting registered to various IT institutes for PMP certification, but it is not an easy exam to pass. Though the PMBOK Guide is provided for preparing the exam but a candidate cannot answer all the questions only relying upon the PMBOK Guide. The candidates have to research and go through other sources also to prepare for the exam. This is the reason it is always advised to take the test from a proper IT institute.

Requirements for PMP certification

It is important to know about the PMP certification process before going for it. There are some requirements that a candidate needs to fulfill before applying for the PMP exam. PMI has set some parameters for project management experience for candidates.

Candidates who are having secondary degrees such as that of high school diploma or an associate degree, then a minimum experience of about 5 years is required in project management.

For a candidate with bachelor’s degree, an experience of about 3 years in project management is required.

35 hours of project management education is required from any formal education provider. It can be course based on PMBOK Guide or a registered education provider of PMI.

Application for the PMP Certification

The candidate can apply for PMP certification online. He or she just has to sign up for the PMI online system and then login to fill up the application form of PMP. This particular form will be stored in the web server of PMI for up to 90 days and will get automatically deleted after the time period. Before getting deleted the server will send you a notification email.

Becoming a member of the PMI helps a candidate in a number of ways such as enjoying PMP test at a discounted rate. It always allows downloading PMBOK Guide for free along with some other reference books.

After the submission of the form, the candidate has to wait for the confirmation mail. After this the candidate pays the certification fee or in case of audit follows the instructions offered in the mail.

The PMP Exam

There is a time limit of about 1 year to schedule the PMP exam. But it is always advised to schedule the exam at the earliest. This is because due to limited number of exam centers the seats get occupied soon, and you may not get a desired center for exam. Also if you know your exam date, you will have a target to prepare well.

Though the PMBOK Guide is offered but it is always advised that the candidates prepare even from other sources. Also a number of PMP practice exams should be gone through before the actual exam.

On the date of the exam, arrive at least half an hour ago the schedules time and relax. The exam will be of 4 hours duration without any break. So, make sure that you prepare yourself properly to sit or 4 hours at a stretch.

After the exam is over, the center staff will offer you with a printed copy of your achievement. There is no scoring system here, only a clear pass or fail. Unfortunately, if you fail, you can apply for the exam next time again.
