How to become a PMP certified / Project Manager without having any experience in directing or managing a project?

Sunil, take a closer look to all related information regarding certification like outline, handbook and so on. Inside the handbook (I do not know if today it has changed) did not say that you have to have experience in directing a project. The requirement is to have experience working on projects with is not the same. In fact, that experience could be into any area stated into the content outline. As I mentioned, I do not know if that has been changed today.

Sunil -

I would suggest looking at the CAPM as it requires no project management experience and then look at a project coordinator/analyst role as Rami has suggested and/or look for volunteer experience with your local PMI chapter.

You need experience in order to become a good project manager so starting as a project coordinator is probably a good start in the right direction.

Thank you for your suggestion. For getting a job as project coordinator, I need to have CAPM certification as Kiron suggested.

I do not believe this is what Kiron meant. Having a CAPM is an asset but not a must. You can always get a job as a project coordinator and do your CAPM while working. Having a CAPM or a PMP do not guarantee you finding a job.

I get it now. I will try to find a project coordinator role and get into project management from there. Thank you.
