“Experience doesn't equate to PMP success. Remember, the PMP exam is geared for persons with at least 3 years experience of working on projects. PMI has a standard way of looking at things that not every company takes the time to implement. The PMBOK Guide is rather thin in breaking down a lot of these areas.” - Tony Johnson
There's a certification for those new to project management; it's the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management). This is an entry level into the project management field.
“It's not an easy exam. 200 and 150 questions, 4 and 3 hours for the PMP and CAPM respectively, 9 knowledge areas, 5 process areas, framework, professional and social responsibilities, calculations, situational questions, who fixes what, etc. We teach you to break down the question formats, learn to apply the formulas, and attack the exam, instead of it attacking you. This is not an easy exam, but just like training is required for the Tout De France, we can prepare you for PMP exam success.” - Tony Johnson
“Locations can be seen at
http://www.prometric.com/. We recommend a smaller test center (if you have an option) as they are a bit quieter and have less people coming and going from the room you are testing in. Unlike some exams that have fixed dates, the PMP exam is offered whenever you can schedule it. You will receive an approval letter from PMI to take the exam. It will have your authorization number on it, and you will need this to schedule the test. You will have one year from the date on the letter to take the exam.” - Tony Johnson
