It's 4,500 hours if you have a 4 year degree, 7,500 without one. They only accept experience in the past 7 years. Also need 35 hours of classes but there are online ones that are cheap and accepted.

So once you submit all that on your app (don't lie, because they can audit you) and they approve it you have one year to pass the exam which is 200 questions within 4 hours. You get three attempts per year. Then after that you need 60 credits every three years.

It's not cheap either.

Does it open more doors and pay more salaries?

I have the experience, but not the classes. Looking for somewhere to get this education. $555 doesn't seem THAT expensive. What are the 60 credits? More education?


This seems to be the cheapest - https://www.brainbok.com/plans $120 gets you your 35 hours.

 I'm a little vague on the 4,500 hours - I just have to have someone like my boss sign a paper that says I did it?

Not sure what your line of work is. But basically if you managed any project you toss it in and make it reasonable.

I'm a BSA - so half of my job is IT project management. I can probably just run a report on our project tracking system and use that.

So get the cert before March, got it.

 I got my classroom hours, any suggestions on taking the PMP? I assume additional study is important?
