Contact hours requirement for PMP

Anonymous

I have attended the formal training of both CSM and SAFe and am certified as well. Can I count those hours towards the training hour requirements while applying for PMP certification?

Only partially, but I believe not the full 35 contact hours. You have to assess how much of those training courses topics are related to PMP. If you claim the full 35 hours just for those courses, and you were audited, I suspect your application will be rejected.

As Rami presented, you have to make sure to apportion the amount of those courses that relates to project management. If I was to ballpark it, I would say CSM and SAFe traning consists of approximately 75% project management material.

You can ask PMI about your doubt, to be safe you comply with their requirements.
