How to Complete a PMI® – PMP® Application

How to Complete a PMI® – PMP® Application

So, you are ready to fill out the application – that is great! The Project Management Experience and Project Management Education sections can be the most time-consuming parts of the application are in. Both require a large amount of data entry and descriptive writing. It took me a few days to collect the information and about four hours to put into the application. I have customized a spreadsheet for my students to copy and paste the information into the online application.

Project Management Experience:

In this section, the application is looking for project specific information. Here is a brief outline of the subject matter that you need to complete this section. This is where you need to sit down with your resume knowledge of the projects you worked on and really document the hours you worked on each project.

·        Project Name

·        Project Dates

·        Your Role

·        Industry

·        Your Company’s Profile

·        The Project Sponsor Profile

·        Project Time Details in Initiating, Planning, Executing, Contributing & Monitoring, and Closing

·        Description of the Project

Project Management Education:

This section is for the classes that you have taken about project management. The following information is required

·        Class Title

·        Institution or School

·        Starting and Ending Dates

·        Hours Dedicated to Project Management

Remember, you do not need to become a paying Project Management Institute member to get your certification; but, you do need to create an account to get to the actual application. So, I hope this assists you greatly!
