What you need to know about the PMP Certification.

Introduction

The PMP certification is one of the most sought-after certifications in the world. It's also one of the most difficult to earn, but with a good preparation and time management, you can do it! The requirements for earning this certification are extensive and rigorous but if you follow our tips below then we're confident that you'll pass on your first try!

Why do you need PMP Certification?

PMP certification is a must for anyone who wants to work in project management. It's also a great way to improve your career prospects, salary and job opportunities.

The PMP certification was introduced by the Project Management Institute (PMI) in 1992 with the aim of standardizing and validating knowledge related to project management. The program has since grown into one of the most widely recognized credentials in this field by employers worldwide.

As an accredited member of PMI, you'll receive access to valuable resources that can help you stay up-to-date on all things related to project management—from best practices at work through industry standards and guidelines; even ongoing training opportunities on topics like leadership skills or Agile project management!

The PMP Certification Requirements

  • Must have a minimum of 4 years of project management experience.

  • Must have at least 35 hours of PMP training.

What steps to take to get PMP certified.

To become a certified PMP, you need to take the exam. The exam is available all year round online: you can sit for the exam in the comfort of your home. If you want to study for the test, it’s important that you do so with a very good instructor or provider as this will greatly affect your exam outcome.

You may also want some other training before taking your PMP certification exam, such as becoming familiar with project management processes through reading books or attending live events like webinars or conferences where experts speak on this topic specifically related to project management standards such as those required by PMI’s Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guidebook – 7th Edition which includes topics like creating an effective team structure; managing complex projects; getting buy-in from stakeholders; maintaining quality throughout all phases of planning implementation execution monitoring reporting communication etc…

How much is the PMP exam cost?

The PMP exam cost is $405 for members. The PMI membership fee is $139. You can pay for the exam in advance or on the day of your test. In addition, you may choose to do the exam as a non-member of PMI. In that case, you pay $555 for the exam.

The cost of doing the certification is the same for every country or region you're in:

What not to do on your exam day (PMP Exam Tips)

  • Don't eat a big meal. The PMP exam is timed (230 Minutes) and it's easy to get distracted if you're hungry or thirsty.

  • Don't drink too much liquid. You'll want to make sure that you don't have any stomach issues during the exam, so keep your water intake to a minimum—just enough for hydration purposes; nothing more!

  • Don't be late for your appointment (or any other appointment). The check-in process for the online exam usually starts 30 minutes before the exam and lasts till 15 minutes after your appointed time.

  • Note there are two 10 minutes breaks during the exam. You can leave your exam seat to stretch or ease yourself during that period.
