Example: Mr. A has managed 2 projects in 2016, Project 1 ran from Jan'16 to Aug'16 (8 months) and Project 2 ran from April'16 to Dec'16 (9 months). In this case, we have an overlap of 5 months (Apr'16 to Aug'16). So the experience for these 5 months will be counted as 5 months and not as 10 months (5x2=10). The non-overlapping experience is 12 months.

How important is the PMBOK® Guide to prepare for the PMP Exam?

The PMBOK® Guide is a great resource and an extremely useful one to master project management skills.

Please note that the PMBOK® Guide, 7th Edition does not impact the PMP® Exam Prep Training Material, which has been developed to align to the PMP Exam Content Outline. It is important to note that the current PMP exam is based on the Exam Content Outline, dated January 2021, and not on the PMBOK® Guide . The Exam Content Outline summarizes the research conducted to create the PMP® exam and includes the most critical tasks required for project managers to master in their role.

What kind of support will I get from iCert Global for my PMP exam application?

Some find the application process for the PMP exam to be quite complex. When you enrol for a PMP certification training program with iCert Global, you'll benefit from step-by-step guidance by a iCert Global in-house SME on your PMI® registration and membership as well as your application review and submission.
PMI conducts random audits of the applications to ensure the credibility of the certification program and of the certification holders. If your application is selected for the audit process, you will have 90 days to gather and submit all certificates and documentation to substantiate your project management experience and project management-related education; proper verification for the project experience listed in the application must be provided.

An iCert Global expert will hand-hold you through the entire process, enabling you to focus on what matters - your exam preparation. In addition to this, youll also benefit from a 100% money-back guarantee.
