The Project Management Institute (PMI), the regulating body, requires this to guarantee that anyone seeking accreditation have a solid understanding of project management fundamentals. You have two options for meeting this requirement:
You can apply for the exam if you have 1500 hours of relevant job experience in a project team. These hours must be part of the non-overlapping project group(s) and documented by the project and summarised by the process group in order to be regarded as valid.
If you don’t have enough work experience, you can enrol in a 23-hour formal project management course. The following resources might help you learn about project management:
- PMI Chapters
- Employer or training programs.
- Training consultants or companies.
- Distance learning companies that provide a course end assessment.
- University or college academic and continuing education programs.
