Are the 35 contact hours required to be done with a PMI REP or not? One can do the course/required hours with any trainer provider of Project Management ?

It is preferable to be done through a REP as it is easier to be verified. However, I believe you can take the course / required with any training provided as long as they are qualified to give that training - I am not too sure about this so it is better if you check with the site customer service for confirmation.
I know of many people who took university courses in project management that are not REP but yet their hours counted as far as Ive understood. Saving Changes...
One can satisfy the education requirements by completion of courses, workshops and training sessions offered by one or more of the following types of education providers:
1. PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s) 2. PMI chapters 3. Employer/company-sponsored programs 4. Training companies or consultants (e.g., training schools) 5. Distance-learning companies, including an end-of-course assessment 6. University/college academic and continuing education programs
The following education does not satisfy the education requirements:
1. PMI chapter meetings 2. Self-directed learning (e.g., reading books, watching instructional videos or sessions with coaches or mentors)

Hello Leonie,
Rami and Anupam already gave great advice; i just want to add this:
For further information about the 35 contact hour thing please refer to the following guide:

The PMPrepCast is not only a great preparation course for the PMP exam and it is fully pre-recorded and you can learn when and wherever you want, but it also satisfies the 35 contact hour requirement AND the provider is an R.E.P.!
I have used this one by myslef for preparation, you may have a look here:
