Hi, I am interested in teaching PMP to the aspirants.  Hence would like to have some guidance.  I hold PMP now and no specific Agile certifications.  Is it mandatory to have Agile certifications for becoming instructor.

It depends whether you are referring to working for a PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP) delivering PMI's PMP prep courses OR whether you intend to join a non-ATP training company or work as a solo instructor.

In the former case, you'd need an active PMP certification and the ATP you join would have you take PMI's one day adult learning/train-the-trainer online course once they have qualified that you are a competent instructor. So in this case, no agile certs are required.

In the latter case, it really depends on what the non-ATP company you join has as its expectations.

Ciao!

Thanks for the details. I did not reach out to any ATP or non-ATP Centers. I thought that the Instructor badge is required to approach them. Please recommend the next steps I can take in this regard. Should I reach out to some Centers to take this forward.

You need to decide whether you wish to teach for an ATP using the PMI PMP prep materials or not. Once you do that, you can then approach either a local ATP or a non-ATP provider.

You'd need to either form your own company and join the ATP program or (the better approach) be hired by an existing ATP organization.

Hi Abdul,

It depends on your aspirations. Being a certified vocational trainer is a plus. Now if you need to be a Certified PM trainer you need to find a training institution that is authorized by the PMI to provide training.
