Hello Rami.
Yes it is a very nice community. they all are very kind.
well where can i start. I dropped school at a young age. i regret that choice.
and now i'm paying the price for it. but it's never to late to study.
i'm 26 years. the study's in the netherlands take 4 years. so if i find the right study one time, i'll be 30 when i'm ready to find a great job..
while I am typing this now, I feel so insecure.
but i'm going to sign myself up for the university or maybee a home study.
Thank you!
Faat, do not feel insecure. You sound motivated and have the desire so go for it. It's never too late and a degree is not the only the only thing that would make you succeed. Certifications these days are much more practical in many areas.
Why don't you starting looking at Project Coordinator Role (The perfect place to start) and do your CAPM Certification. Experience matters a lot in project management so start somewhere.
Engaging in this community is a great thing as well. Saving Changes...

Faat, a thousand mile journey starts with a first step. Take one step at a time, learn, ask, be curious, and you will feel how project management starts kicking in.
I believe it is a good choice - I also live in the Netherlands, and there are plenty of opportunities for PM roles. Good luck! Saving Changes...
Faat,acquiring a PM certification does not truly qualify one to hold the position of Project Manager.You don't become a General the day you join the Army.You rise in rank and file to qualify for that highest position.Apart from theoretical knowledge ,what you need is the requisite hands-on experience , leadership quality ,collaborative behaviour ,inter-personal and communication skills ,vision and above all the maneuverable/tactical acumen to drive and deliver project successfully and this come with age .

Hello Faat,
Welcome to this forum. To get started, the information you need is on PMI's website; www.pmi.org. They have information about the requirements and how to get started. You didn't mention what you currently do and your bio doesn't either. However, if you are a student, or just looking to start out in PM and would like to be certified, i would say consider CAPM. Feel free to inbox me directly if you have any question and I am happy to share my knowledge or connect you with others in my network. Saving Changes...
Hi Faat,
You came to the right place. Here you can find everything for both new practicioners and for advanced Project managers.
So, welcome to the community! Saving Changes...
