Hi,

I am planning to get certified in 1-2 years. Not sure which org. maybe PMI, or Australian equivalent.

Since these orgs require an applicant to have industry PM experience, I want to ask at this stage, what documents should I be collecting to prepare for my application?

I might need to actively fill the gaps in my current experience. Do I need employment certification that I did Risk Management, Scope Management, etc.?

I am the most interested in estimate how much time do you need to spend to prepare good enough to pass the exam

and what are the best ways to do so (books, courses, video, notes, others???)

and the last question, is it PMBOK ver7 which is current valid version for building exam questions?

The Project Management Professional is a widely acknowledged certification to project management professionals which is administered from the Project Management Institute (PMI).

I used Rita's materials and the PMBOK and I passed the exam in 2003

My suggestion is to learn every single chart in the PMBOK by memory
all the inputs/outputs/tools and techniques - because the exam is tricky and if you don't know the charts you'll have a hard time. I think people study stuff they don't need to study and they don't spend enough time studying the material that will help them. So learn those charts in the PMBOK backwards and forwards and sideways - and use Rita's materials and spend time learning Rita's materials - and you should pass
good

I recommend keeping detailed records of the projects you’ve worked on, including your role, the tasks you managed, and the outcomes. You may not need an official employment certification, but it helps to have your supervisors or managers ready to verify your experience if required.
