What You Should Know To Establish Career In Project Management
If you’re reading our blog post regularly, then you must be familiar with my previous blogs based on PMP Training and Certification. For IT professionals PMP isn’t a new thing, so without wasting any more time let’s start today’s blog post with a quick description of PMP and the path to how a person can make their career as a certified professional.
How Much Do You Know About PMP Training?
PMP is just a short form of Project Management Professional offered by a non-profit organization that is known as the Project Management Institute (PMI). It’s an ideal training course for those professionals who want to get expertise in project management. It’s designed for professionals to handle ongoing research projects and meet the real-world challenges of a company.
If you are thinking to know more about project management and planning to become a certified PMP Professional but having plenty of questions running in your mind, so here we have a complete path to guide you.
Start with PMP credential handbook
Those who had just begun or planning to make their career in project management should first read the PMP credential handbook. It was published by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and available on the official website of PMI. This handbook will tell you every single thing about the process of attempting the PMP Exam and the way to become a PMI certified project manager. It’ll take approx. 20 minutes to read it, which is able to answer most of the questions associated with the exam procedure.
Check eligibility criteria for project management
The next thing you need to do is checking the eligibility criteria, which is very important to become a PMI certified project manager. For that individuals must meet the subsequent parameters:
- You should do a minimum of a high school diploma, an academic degree, or the worldwide equivalent of these. Additionally, you need to hold a minimum of 60 months or 7500 hours of unique, non-overlapping project management experience.
- Otherwise, one must have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in your country or must hold a minimum of 36 months or 4,500 hours of non-overlapping and unique project management experience.
In both situations, it is a must to have 35 contact hours of project management training to become eligible for the exam.
Own a PMI membership of your chapter
Getting PMI membership will be beneficial for professionals because as a PMI member you’ll get a free PDF version of the entire “Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge” which is also called PMBOK Guide. Moreover, you may get a discount on the PMP examination and stay updated with information related to PMP workshops once you become a PMI member.
Signup for the PMP exam
So the next step is signing up and scheduling an examination date because you’ll be able to prepare in a better way if you had a deadline to achieve your goal. You can start this process by registering yourself on the official website of PMI. Then fill in your online PMP Credential Application and submit it for approval. Wait till you’ll get a confirmation number and now you’ll schedule to require the exam.
I think that’s all for today. We will take it further some other day under another blog topic. Those individuals who want to become a certified PMP professional can enroll themselves at ProICT Training where you’ll learn core concepts of project management with certified and experienced instructors. Plus you’ll be able to read other more blogs related to various IT training certifications.
