Louiselle, as Lenka mentioned www.pmi.org is the best source for exam preparation. Here is the url for certification process: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/process
Thank you very much to both of you. I already checked the link and I am afraid I am not eligible because I have no hands on experience as such of project management. Since I started working several years ago I have been involved (mostly as a team member) in countless projects but none which lasted over a week or so. Is there a qualifications for real beginners in project management please? Saving Changes...
Thank you very much Vincent. I ordered the PMBOK this afternoon infact right after I became a member of PMI. I will take a good look at the link you suggested in the above post then and keep my fingers crossed. Nice weekend. Saving Changes...
Louiselle, you do not need project management experience, nor do you need project experience. All you need as a minimum is the 23 hours of project management education which you can do online at Udemy (see link below), for around $20, and of course read the CAPM handbook and exam content outline on the PMI website. So go for it!
Dear all, thank you so much for your help, good advice and tips which I will follow carefully. It is indeed good news that I don't need any concrete experience in order to be able to get this certification! Wishing you all a great weekend, best Louiselle Saving Changes...
