Project Management

@ kashif please I need some advice; I took the EMC class with Project management college, UK and the course content include general project management methodologies, PRINCE 2 and MS project and the certificate I'll be getting is the school's and I'm thinking of taking the PRINCE 2 foundation exam so I can get the Institute's own certificate, but is it really necessary is wot I want to know. Your response would be highly appreciated. NB:  Please where can one get project management experience for a budding PM myself who is a fresh graduate?

Thanx in advance!

kashif, modu, uluhomono, others, please answer these queries; especially the part in bold. pleeease.

I am a certified PMP and training consultant,
For those of you who desires PMP cert.  It requires previous project mgt experience (min 0f 4200hrs) as the project manager or project team member. And at 40 contact hrs training is a must for you to qualify to write the exam.
If you dont have these prrequisite exp the project mgt experience then I will advice you take the Associate level exam-CAPM; however either way PMP or CAPM they are very lucrative certifications.
Where I teach the training costs 150k; but if I see seriousness and commitment from the house(forum) members we can arrange the training at far reduced price with all the materials you will need and mentorship till you write your exam inclusive.

Whether you are intersted in my training or not feel free to contact me via-bode228@gmail.com 0r 07041196308 for guidiance and materials.

Be prepared to study hard this is not CCNA  or the likes o! No dump! I am a CCNA so I know what I am saying here.
Good luck!

@cola,

I dont think I got the institution you were referring to. Is it CCTA or PMC UK? If it is CCTA (as I am inclined to), then you should go ahead and take the foundation exam since it is more recongnised than PMC's credential. I mean, you took the PRINCE2 methodology training, not PMC.

On the experience, I guess you are already experienced since you address yourself as a PM, budding or sprouting (Dont mind me). If you want a hands on which might or not be documented then, I guess you might have to work as a volunteer. If you belong to a functional church, become active. Project Management is new here so many people dont appreciate it yet. Most think you should/must be a mono-domain PM ie subject matter expert.

@COLA,
I will advise you refresh your memory very well, I think u are missing up my personalty wt someone's, I only join this forum Jan this yr u can confirm that from my profile.

To your question what you just described may not pass for PMI definition of project; I will advise you go for a PMP training but take the capm exam( you can still reference the training for your pmp exam later provided it is within 3yrs- will have to reconfirm d exact nos of yrs.

thanks

@ Kashif,

Will you be kind enough to tell us what Dumps Are and what dumps are not.

If dumps are not pratice questions,  then I wonder what they are.

I have Dumps or if you prefer, 'practice questions' for PMP & I stand to be corrected. In your case Kashif, your literature are not tenable.

@basking,

For your education, PMP questions come with standard four(4) options, and not five. Again, the inconsistency in the number of options in your sample is an easy give away. Next time, try getting questions with four options only. I would not want to post the website where you got those questions from, as I stand to gain nothing from doing that.

As per tenability of my 'literature' we see it diffferently. This would be my last response to this. Cheers man

Hi All,
How come nobody is talking about CAPM. It stands for Certified Associate Project Manager. It is a version of PMP for people who have less than 3 years post degree experience. I plan to take lectures next month and the exams by May. Is there anyone taking the exam or anyone with experience and advice on it?

If you are a passionate and committed development professional and want to help build a world fit for children, If you are interested in working in highly challenging environment, UNICEF would like to hear from you.

There is a really good site I found quite helpful while preparing for the PMP exam; www.pmhub.net. It catalogues a list of lesson leaned by candidates preparing for the exam, and archives exam preparation strategies for the PMP, the PgMP and the CAPM.

Strange you mentioned that the PMI site doesn't work. It does work; www.pmi.org

The spread of quality PM practices is key for everyone on this thread.

I believe that we all have something to contribute to PM knowledge.

The next time you're in New York, check out this company for PM tRaining that covers multiple methodologies:  http://www.ArcellaGlobal.com

I hope that this helps.

For mk yusuf:

Both Prince 2 and PMI are widely recognized organizations and sources of credentials on Project Management.

I would look to the people that are currently functioning as PM's in your geographic area and industry and inquire what credential that they currently hold.

In the end, having credentials from either organization will be beneficial.  I have noticed that Prince 2 credentials tend to be more prolific in Europe and  the PMP is dominant in America.

I hope that this is helpful.  If you would like an excellent training program to prepare for your PMP, please feel free to contact my company at http://www.ArcellaGlobal.com
