Dears,
I am PMP Certified, and I have a question, is it allowed to register for the exam of Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP)® directly without taking the exam of Program Management Professional (PgMP)® or not ?

Thanks

My recommendation, beyond the valuable comments above, is taking a look to all related documentation inside the PMI Certifications site (mainly the handbook) and send an email to PMI´s Customer care just in case you still has doubts.
I agree, it is the easiest way

Firas, try to find facebook group or Linkedin group and I am sure you will find a lot of materials through that.

I think the pre-requisite experience in Portfolio Management of 10,500 hrs is little unfair. It takes minimum 5 yrs to gain 10,500 Hrs experience.
You take certification to do good job and waiting for 5 yrs .....
