What is PMP Certification?

Candidates that are proficient in managing the people, procedures, and business priorities of professional projects are recognized by the PMP. The premier organization worldwide for project management, PMI, established the PMP in order to honor project managers who have demonstrated that they possess project leadership experience and proficiency in any area of work.

In order to become certified as a PMP, a project manager needs to fulfill specific requirements and then pass a 180-question exam. Since the PMP exam was developed by project leaders for project leaders, there is a possibility that any question on it may be connected to actual project management experiences.

Arabic, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), English, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish (Poland), Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish (Mexico + Spain), and Turkish are the languages in which the PMP Exam is available.

PMP certification validates that you are highly skilled in:

inspiring individuals and groups to succeed in every stage of a project.
utilizing hybrid, agile, and predictive methodologies to assess which working style is most appropriate for each project
highlighting a project's accomplishments and how they affect the organization's overarching strategic goals.
