In my understanding, a PMP certified can train others even if he/she is not part of a PMI chapter. Is that correct and what are other requirements to become a PMP trainer? Saving Changes...
You can train new practitioners and candidates and they can still submit the contact hours for this training but it is up to PMI whether they will approve those hours or not. If you are an REP then your hors will be approved automatically, thats the only difference.
Amir you need to be registered as REP with PMI only registered education provider can provide accepted hours required for the exam or maintain PDU But to teach others for PMP exam with out providing hours to train you really don't have to be PMP. YES AMIR You heard me right
I'm interested in teaching PMP online classes so was wondering do I have to R.E.P but your answer gave me clarity that I don't need R.E.P. I can teach or mentor PMP aspirants with R.E.P, only thing I can't provide 35 PDU's.
Thanks for clarity

Even that is not true. Anyone could provide a PMP prep course and provide proof for the 35 contact hours of education required. The only difference is that with a REP, PMI is unlikely to question the education or hours if the candidate gets audited whereas with a non-REP, there is always the potential that the submitted hours could be rejected.

There is no specific guidelines from PMI till now, in our organization we conducted few voluntary PMP prep sessions to
for aspirants and PMI accepts it if tranings are given by PMP certified people. I am also giving training in such sessions.
But as I know recently PMI is working on changing this acceptance criteria and the exam Prep sessions must be from REP.
Which means that the trainings given by REP will only be accepted for certification exam (35 PDUs)
The training given may be accepted by PMI for PDU claim to maintain the certificate.
Hope this info is helpful.
I will get back in case any new info received.

Hi, any reference or updates on the fact that 35 contact hours will be accepted only if delivered by a REP?

Yes you have to register with PMI as REP in order to issue 35 credit hours as PMI only authenticate if you are register. I agreed you can train PMP course without being a PMP. Kevin is so right, by teaching is the way to keep yourself updated and learn more. Saving Changes...
