PMBOK 7th Edition

Thanks Kiron. I think there is a lot to be understand with regards to the new requirements.

I think we need to fully understand this from PMI's perspective as things are better refined - For example what if I give someone a training for the PMP exam, would he qualify for the 35 Hours ? Just giving an example of myself being the non-REP trainer here.

I think we need to differentiate prep training from all other PM training. The PMP educational criteria don't require the former which opens the door for many more options from the latter. However, if an application gets audited, the auditor is likely to scrutinize both the experience and educational prerequisites and if the contact hours don't appear to be from an "established" training organization (REP or otherwise), that might be cause for a rejection. That's why I always tell my PMP candidate students to keep copies of the certificates, agendas and proof of registration for the courses which they will be submitting as part of their 35 hours.
