Hi, i can't find the link on PMP handbook, but if you already applied for PMI membership, then it is there.

Email the customer support team? [email protected]

But, it is not easy to pass the PMP exam, you really need to basically memorize the ITTO to really understand the PMBOK.

I think some people manage to pass it without memorizing it, but it really depends on you.

You cannot earn PDUs before passing the exam, because you would not have any certification to apply them to.

hi Aejaz,

Since you are a paid member of PMI , now you are accessible to some PMP Preparation materials like the PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition(Downloadable) , Books of Christopher Scordo , Frank T. Ambari etc. Even you will get the discount while scheduling for your PMP Exam too !!!

For your eligibility etc. please have a look at the PMI PMP Hand Book and the PMP Exam Content Outlines. Those are somewhere in the PMI Site.

Before achieving the PMP Certification , you actually earn Contact Hours. For the PMP Exam , you need to earn 35 Contact hours from a PMI R.E.P.(Registered Education Provider). This you may earn online or at a BOOT Camp of a PMI R.E.P.

You may have these preliminary ideas by looking at the video presentations on Youtube by R.E.P.s like the iZenBridge etc.

Thanks and best regards,

Ranjit

You need to pass the PMP exam and get PMP certificate first. PDU cycle will start after getting PMP certification. To appear for the PMP exam you need at least 35 hours of PMP Training from any authorized PMI training institute and apply for eligibility. If you need any kind of assistance and guidance, I will be glad to help.
