Rasool, If you want to

Rasool,

If you want to take the PMP exam, then you have to fulfil some minimum requirements. If you have a Bachelors degree: 4,500 hours of project management and 35 hour of training in PM. If you don't have a bachelors , it:s: 7,500 hours of project management and 35 hours of training in PM. But these are just the basics.

My recommendation to you: Read the PMP Credentials handbook:

The PMI has published a Credentials Handbook, which you can find at the following URL: http://www.pmi.org/PDF/PDC_PMPHandbook.pdf. The Credentials Handbook explains everything that you want to know about the process of taking the PMP® exam and becoming PMP® certified. It discusses the following topics and questions:

  • Eligibility: Who can take the exam? How much project management experience do I need? What are these 35 contact hour all about?
  • Examination Information: What is the format of the exam? How much does it cost? How do I get my score? What about re-examinations? Can people with handicaps take the exam?
  • Taking the exam: What form of ID do I have to bring to the exam? What if I have to cancel? Can I appeal if I fail?
  • After the exam: How do I keep my certification active? What is the professional conduct, that I have to follow? Can I tell others, what the exam was like?

Reading this handbook takes about 20 minutes and it should be the FIRST 20 minutes on your journey to becoming a certified PMP®. It will answer most of your questions about the procedures of applying and taking the exam.
