Yet some set of Nigerians expect them to reduce their tuition fee to 20k.

Sickness
You pay for the course separately.

We have dozens of PMI REP centres scattered accross lagos, abuja and port harcourt so I dont understand how this is an achievement. Nobody travels abroad for pmi courses, thats a lie for sure. As a matter of fact, those abroad rely more on video podcasts that classroom tutoring.

The real achivement would have been getting pmi or prometrics cbt centre accreditation.

For non-project managers on this thread, dont get excited thinking its an achievement. pmi training cost about 60 to 80k and its readily available locally and online. I repeat, no one, absolute no one ever considers going abroad for such!! Na wa for Nigerian institutions

I will always advice self study for PMP anyway... In Nigeria, we need CBT centers...as PMI reps are already prevalent.

Please dont mislead people oo.. What are you even saying, you have to be a PMI REP to provide 35 contact hours. Dipo's institute at ebutte metta, Ciel consulting etc are PMI REPs. Your education is also recognized by PMI if you complete online courses such as Cornelius fitchner, pmstudy, Rita etc.
I dont even know where you got the idea of PDU bacause it is not mentioned in the original post.

Bro, I have been a PMP since 2009. Open your mind to learn and you will learn what you know not. CU has always taught Project management as a course but was never a PMI REP. Those of us that read the news know the message being past across.

I hope you are aware you have to renew your PMP every 3-year cycle? You will know what PDUs, CCRs etc are.

Here's a link to help you.

CU haters won't like this post. All they want to hear is how high the fees are and to hear people Insult the chancellor, meanwhile CU keeps growing and breaking new grounds. I wish them the best. May they continually make Nigeria proudy

Definitely not true. I did my PMP last year and I am PMI certified. You should log onto pmi.org and read more about PMP certifications by PMI. There are a lot of organizations in Nigeria offering pmp course (which is the 35 hour course work u need) that will qualify u to write the pmp by PMI. I did that and wrote the exam in Lagos. so do ur research properly. Thanks
I did that too but its not recognised outside the country..

What exactly is not recognized outside the country? the Certificate that u get from PMI after writing an exam that costs about $250. in which you'll sit in an exam hall for about 4 hrs answering 200 questions? Please do your research well. The PMP exam from PMI is globally recognized.

Now you are derailing after misleading people. Being a PMI REP shouldnt be seen as a achevement for a university, simple!

I dont know why you are mentioning PDU. Is PDU mentioned in the original post? You are made a mistake, rather than ignore the thread or admit your mistake you talking about PDUs. PDU is for certified PMPs and the original post addresed non-certified pmp. So that i deliberately excluded its mention doesnt make me narrow-minded or know nothing about it.

How is it not an achievement to be the ONLY PMI REP in Nigeria? It is a first so why can't it be celebrated? Prometric centres where one could take the CBT exam existed in the past (but not anymore). I will now take your advice and ignore the thread seeing you refuse to understand and accept that local PMI REPs are needed by not only aspiring PMPs but certified ones too.
