Why you need gmail!!!
Great instructions on how to correctly fill out an application. I'd advise anyone to take it to heart. However, there is no way to avoid an audit no matter how tightened up your application is. Audits are randomly generated, not selected because something looks fishy. PMI will tell you the same thing. Back to the good stuff on this video, YES! YES! and YES! These steps and tips will defiantly help you not get your application "rejected" as opposed to audited. I've had two students get their applications rejected outright due to some oversite in time, so following the advice here will help make sure the applicant is squared away.
Great feedback, @charlesrumschlag1769!
Hi Alvin! I used your guide to help format my project experience descriptions. My application was approved on my initial submission. Thank you for creating the guide, it really helped me with my application.
Congratulations Caroline!! I'm so happy to hear the news that your PMP Application was accepted! Feel free to check out my other videos on my channel for sample PMP Questions, and I wish you the best of luck with studying to pass your PMP Exam!
Hi Alvin! I just submitted my application after using your application guide and cheatsheet. Thank you SO MUCH for all the help and this video!🙏
@Nathan Kreider, you're very welcome! I'm super happy to hear the positive news and feedback and that your application was approved by PMI!! Keep up the great work, and soon you'll pass your PMP Exam in no time!! Feel free to also spread the word and share my videos with anyone else you know who may also be taking the PMP Exam
Great detailed brief information with valuable guidance.
Glad you found it helpful, good luck with your PMP Application!
Excellent thank you
Glad it was helpful, good luck with preparing your PMP Application, you got this!
This cleared up what is actually considered experience to sit for the PMP. I've been volunteering throughout the pandemic only to find out that's not enough🤷🏾♀️
@Juan Starnotip, really glad that you found the video helpful! Are you able to leverage any projects at work that you might be able to use to qualify for the PMP Application? I
Juan - Do not discount your volunteer experience. Your experience can still be considered professional experience, even if it was on a voluntary basis. This is a great video but I would look at a few additional resources. If you were applying PMP principles, you can count it. It's all in the way you present it.
Thank you Alvin for sharing such wonderful and essential information. Actually, I have just started my Job as a Project Support and my goal is to get PMP certification after 3 years of experience. I just want to confirm remote work would be acceptable because I am working remotely please guide me about this.
Hi Alvin! I have worked as a Presales solution architect for 3 years, leading and managing more than 10+ rfps in 3 years. How to write a project description for each of those rfps? My role and responsibilities were almost the same in all the rfps. Is it okay if we repeat the responsibilities for each project in the pmp application?
But Alvin. Regular project takes 1 year in my company, sometimes it is no longer than 6 months. Do I have to describe 3 different projects in this case?
I really appreciate your channel. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much, really glad that you're getting a lot of value out of my videos. Be sure to stay tuned for more videos like this coming in 2023!
@@alvinthepmofficial Awesome! I just bought your course on completing the PMP Application! Sooo incredibly valuable! Thanks again!
@@Immaculate1 Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me! Good luck writing your PMP Application! Soon, you'll be a Certified PMP in no time (:
can you use only one project which lasted over 3years?
I have diploma which was evaluated as "bachelor, 3 year diploma". PMI requires 4 year university degree for 36 months exp.
Do I need to prove 5 or 3 years?
I have both, just interested.
hi Alvin. I need your advice whether my job experience and the training falls in the required category of Pmp eligibility .im a government servant and a tax collector.i have experience of 7years. My routine job responsibilities are the monitoring and audit of tax affairs of different tax payers. Along with this sometimes i carry out some awareness campaigns among different business sectors regarding any change in tax laws. Beside that ,i carried out Point of sell integration of all retailors at local level ,a new initiative taken by the government. What part of my job, in ur advice,falls in the required category.
I have bachelor degree passed in 2020 & I have worked as a team leader in a company for 2 years & 10 months continuously.can I apply for the PMP exam or I need 3 different companies work experience plzzz reply
Can I put my previous company experience(2017-2020) as I worked in Agile there, and the current company(2022-present) does follow the any of it (partial agile)
@Sandhya shee kb, yep, you can definitely put your previous company experience with Agile, as long as you describe the project management responsibilities you led from those projects
Hello,
This is about my application via PMI site regarding the PMP certification exam.
I did several projects in 4 companies as a continuous improvement engineer and my director is the continuous improvement project manager.
So we must mention the four companies and the detailed project for each company via the application? If Yes, how because I found only one box to fill the experience.
One question I have 29 months experience in the industrial field and not 36 months
Will there be a problem? A solution please.
And also projects carried out without budget.
Will there be a problem in my application via the pmp application?
hello Alvin,
i have around 8 years of experience. I worked on some projects but these all are part of operational activities.
Can i use this experience under execution and monitor & Controlling phase or advise how i can fulfil this criteria.
@Chaman, If you weren't the Project Leader or the person in charge of managing the projects (example: you were an individual contributor on the projects), this may not qualify as "project management experience" per PMI's requirements. What I recommend is reviewing your past professional experience for projects which you led, managed, or spearheaded. Hope that helps!
hello Alvin my name is sahil dass I have worked as a project coordinator in the social development sector responsible for improving the malnourishment status of the children aged 0 to 5 years. there were other ancillary activities as well. our major work was to spread awareness in the communities on infant and young child feeding practices and maternal-child health and nutrition practices. So, will the social development project experience be valid for PMI exam.
@Sahil Dass, for your PMP Application, your experience will work if you're able to demonstrate that you have had three years of experience leading and managing projects (if you have a Bachelor's degree), as well as leading the team through all stages of the project's life cycle. If so, then you'll need to fill out the in-depth instructions as outlined by PMI. Refer to timestamp @3:50 and @12:20 & onward of my in-depth video tutorial for filling out your PMP Application here: ruclips.net/video/sKLkG-pTD-U/видео.html
This video is 7 months old. Would you say this video still meets PMP's current requirements?
That is correct, the requirements to apply for the PMP Application have not changed in the past 7 months.
Dear Mr Alvin
What are chapters I want to cover in Essential Scrum Textbook by Kennith Ruben for Agile Preparation?
I want to get these tips from you
Thanks
I used the Essential Scrum book and skimmed the most important concepts for Agile to get up-to-speed and also to refresh my memory on the core fundamentals that would be tested in situational-based questions on the PMP Exam. For reference, Essential Scrum is actually one of the Reference Books which PMI recommends to prepare for the PMP Exam, listed on their website: www.pmi.org/certifications/project-management-pmp/earn-the-pmp/pmp-exam-preparation/pmp-reference-list
Here is what I recommend to focus on at a high-level from the Essential Scrum Book, to understand the Agile concepts:
Ch 1 Intro - pg1,2; the entire Ch 2 Scrum Framework; and Ch 3 Agile principles (pg 33-35, 48-49,59-60)
Skimming at a high-level the following will deepen your knowledge and foundation in Agile; but it's not necessary. Note that I used the word 'skim' and not to 'memorize'.
Ch4 Sprints (61-64, 69,74,77), Ch5 User Stories (pg 83), Ch6 Product Backlog (99-101, 105-106); Skim Ch9-11 to familiarize yourself with the roles and responsibilities of each member on the Team (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team)
Hope that helps! When is your PMP Exam scheduled?
@@alvinthepmofficial
Dear Mr Alvin
I am planning to do exam on August during my Vacation as I am working in Middle East
I have enough time to study sincerely and crack the exam in first attempt
Purchased Essential Scrum when I saw your video
Really thanks a lot for your detailed response
Hi Alvin I have 3 semester credits for a graduate course entitled project, design,monitoring and evaluation. Would this course course work as my 35 hours of PM training? If not can you suggest the best online course that offers the training ?
@Nazera, you will need to make sure that your course meets the minimum 35 hours of project management education. You'll have to fill out a section on your application specifying the Course Title, Provider Name (in your case, it will be the University Name) and the actual number of qualifying hours. Check out timestamp 10:54 of my video, How to Fill Out the PMP Application Online, for detail: ruclips.net/video/sKLkG-pTD-U/видео.html
If you'd like to be on the conservative side, you can always purchase Joseph Philip's PMP Exam Prep Seminar from Udemy for less than $15 (when it goes on discount) that will qualify you for the 35 hours of education. I hope that helps out!
@@alvinthepmofficial Awesome thank you Alvin!
Hi alvin, I have experience around 15 years in Civil and structural design as Design Engineer. Although I do not have enough experience in leading and directing the project, I am confused about writing the project description. Can you please help me out in how to write the project description.
@Sivasamy T, you'll need to demonstrate that you have experience leading and managing your projects in order to qualify to meet PMI's PMP Application Requirements. If you'd like to learn more about how to write your Project Descriptions, and to get your application approved by PMI, I actually go over this in much more step-by-step detail in my Ace Your PMP Application Program. I encourage you to check it out, as others have also used it to write their own PMP Application: www.alvinthepm.com/aya-offer-sales-page-54391/
Are you a civil engineer?
Hi Alvin, I got my PMP application rejected two years ago, and I want to take the exam now, how can I re-submit the application, and should I take the 35 professional training hours again? Regards.
You should be able to log-in to your already existing account with PMI, and re-apply to take the PMP Exam! If you already meet the 35 hours of educational contact, then you should be all set, and you should not need to do it again. Hope this helps!
Have you submitted the audit ?
what had happened? I wanna apply for mine. but I don't wanna get rejected and waste money ... are they strict??
i have 5 years of experience into Account Manager Profile can i apply for PMP certifcation
As long as you have 3 years of experience with leading and managing projects specifically, that you can align to PMI's PMBOK terminology, then you should be all set!
@@alvinthepmofficial thanks i appreciate your response
Can I do PMP even I was on work break for 5 years?
@Rashmi Arora, that's correct, you can do the PMP even if you were on break for 5 years. On your PMP Application, you have to list 3 years of project management experience which is within 8 years from today's date. PMI's site states: If you have a 4-year degree, you need "36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years"
@@alvinthepmofficial i have total of 10 year of experience,with experience as scrum master
