PMP exam without having a job

Submitted by pmp-pal on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 09:54

Hi,


I have quit my last company in Sep'13 and am currently on the look out for a new job. My question is in this time span, can I give my PMP Certification Exam without having a job on hand or is a job required for me to even apply. I have the required Project Management hours till Sep'13. However, if I do not fill any details for Oct'13, will my application be rejected ?


 


Regards,

 Yes you can give PMP even if you dont have a job. You should have 4500 hours experience. and meet other eligibility criteria.

Thanks a lot for clearing my doubt as I was in 2 minds whether to give the exam only after I find a job or before that !!

I guess you need your exp in the last five years - and its not mandatory to be employed - I was jobless for 7 months when i gave the exam - so all the best and its belssing in disguise and you can your 100% for the exam - and you can crack it in max 2 months

You can attempt the exam even though you are not having a job. But it is not sure about having the Certification you will be just given the training why because for opting Certification you need to have a minimum 3years of experience

There are certain institutes which provide the training and certification of PMP  one among them is AADSEducation

AADSEducation Institute gives the best PMP Training in Kuwait.

I can never have too many preparation materials so I have several sites that I look at exams on so that nothing surprises me at exam time. I not only study here but I also take exam materials from Certlibrary.com. One can never have too many resources!

Yes you can appear. But you didn't mentioned for which profile you are working & years of experience in corporate world. At the same time without having any training on PMP it is very difficult to crack the exam. Best PMP training in Hyderabad is ProventuresIndia. To know more about their training & consulting services visit: https://goo.gl/KNOM22.

Don't waste your valuable time.

Of late I've been getting a great deal of inquiries on my post about regardless of whether it merits getting PMP affirmed Assignment Writing Service the most widely recognized inquiries I get are about regardless of whether somebody has enough task administration work involvement to apply to take the exam.
