I think you misinterpreted my response.
I was suggesting he download and read the PMP handbook (not the PMBOK Guide) as that is the ONLY authoritative source for eligibility and all other PMP requirements.
As an REP, I well know the requirements for achieving the required 35 contact hours :-)

Kiron,
Yes i misunderstood your answer, sorry for the inconvenient. Some how i thought you were referring to the PMBOK guide. Must read more careful next time, it happens. A perfect example of failed communication, in this case from my part the receptor :) .

Thanks everyone! Super helpful and I also re-read the handbook after. It helped me remember the steps I took, so I was able to follow up and guide the PMP hopeful. Saving Changes...
