Query about PMP requirements
Hi, i'm very keen in having PMP certification, however, the requirements seems to give me some headache which i require some advice. I graduated with 1st class in Electronics Engineering and had been working for 3 years. First 18 months as a Software Engineer, secondary role as a Technical Lead for projects under my care. Now that i'm a System Executive, i'm working on a project basis technically on system issues like assisting in drafting specifications, design documents, requirements.... etc, and of course developing the actual product. I would say that PM on my role is minimum. As i'm planning my future career as a PM, i would like to equip myself with PMP. BUT fulfilling the requirement seems impossible for me even if i pass the exam, clocked the education hours.
There 3 categories for requirement;
PM Experience Months: 36
PM Experience Hours: 4500
PM Education Hours: 35
Is it essential to have all the listed aspect fulfilled?
I'm taking PMP on my own initiative. Kindly advice me for the requirements!
