The PMP Credential

If you enjoy the prestige that comes   from being the best in your field, then  you'll appreciate the professional    advantages derived from attaining the  PMP, the profession's most globally  recognized and respected credential.

The PMP designation following your name tells current and potential employers that you have demonstrated a solid foundation of knowledge from which you can competently practice project management.To be eligible for a PMP Credential, you must first meet specific educational and project management experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. The final step to becoming a PMP is passing a rigorous multiple-choice examination designed to objectively assess and measure your ability to apply project management knowledge in the following six domains:

initiating the project, planning the project, executing the project, monitoring and controlling the project, closing the project, and professional and social responsibility. This computer-based examination is administered globally with translation aids in 10 languages. **extracted from the Project Management Institute website www.pmi.org
