Good morning Peeps, I have been reading comment, just want to drop my little piece. I am an experienced PMP credential holder and I have led many enterprise projects. Please know that earning PMP credential is just to demonstrate that you have the working knowledge of PMI-based methodology. It is not a proof that you can successfully lead a project. You need to understand "tailoring" in project management which can never be taught but could be learnt if you work with the best hands in the industry. This will be a good start. Understanding methodologies to complement PMI will be the right direction to head as well.

In summary, PMP credential is good, go for it but it is just the beginning as there are a lot of things to learn in order to be able to lead a project successfully in a practical world. Thanks.

Hello bro, please do you have any placement(project) i can volunteer so as to gain more experience in field works? thanks. email: princeayodeleayodeji@yahoo.com

I attended a 1 month lecture few years ago in Surulere and it was when I heard that the prep guide would be changed (I paid over N20k for Rita's Exam prep) that I decided to write the exam. I passed at first attempt. Wrote the compuer-based exam along Oba Akran in Ikeja. This was in 2013. Kindly contact Mr Sam Ubieya on 09 026 8546 23. He was one of my lecturers, my PMP counsellor and he does all the payments etc for me. At the moment, I am renewing my membership (it expires every 3yrs) and he is still doing it for me. Its not 419. He is a christian. Call to even find out answers to your questions.
Good luck friend.

You do not renew memberships every 3 years. it's yearly. What you do is to earn 60 PMI PDUS incase you are audited.

I wrote the PMP paper based test in Lagos on May 7th 2016 as CBT has been cancelled in Nigeria for some years now, and I passed at first attempt! I'm here to assist those who are also seeking to obtain this global certification.

How I prepared
I spent exactly 5 weeks of study. Developed a study guide/ daily time table and was reading for about 5-6 hrs per day since I wasn't working so I studied full time.

Study Materials I used
I used Rita Mulcahy's book "PMP Exam Prep" which I read over once and revised it once. I watched all the PM prepcast videos by Cornelius Fitchner and listened to all the audio CD's in Andy Crowe's "Conversations on the PMP exam" these three materials were all very very good and I strongly recommend them to anyone preparing to take the exam. I never read the PMBOK guide as it was too boring and difficult to understand so I only used it as a reference guide. The PMBOK guide in itself is inadequate as it only covers about 70% of the curriculum of the PMP exam. You'll need to use additional materials as well.

I took all the tests in Rita's book and scored on average 77.5%. I also took all the assessment tests in the end of all the prepcast videos and scored an average of 79%. There are lots of tips, tricks and secrets for preparing and getting the answers right in the exam which I learnt from the study materials I used.

Before the exam
A week to the exam I felt I hadn't studied enough so I was scared that I might not pass so I tried to postpone / cancel the exam but I found out that it wasn't possible on the PBT . To cancel or postpone a PBT you'd have to do it 35 days prior to the exam. I eventually just decided to take the exam anyway based on what I had studied so far.

The exam day
The invigilators didn't allow us to use the dumpsheet before the exam started unlike on the CBT that you are given 15 mins before the exam to use the dumpsheet. There weren't more than 4 calculation questions and they were quite easy. Overall I felt the exam was very difficult as I only answered about 185 questions out of 200. I had to just guess the remaining 15 questions. I felt my chances of passing were 50:50. I had made up my mind that if I didn't pass, I would just resit the exam 3 months later in August. So I hoped for the best but prepared for the worst.

The results came out after 10 days by email as it was a PBT. I passed and I'm PMP certified now!!

Dude, your PMP certificate issued to u expires after 3 yrs. That's the one you need to make account of PDUs. Annual renewal is easy. I got my certification in June 2013 and it expires July this year. I am no illiterate pls.

Good spirit!

I made membership renewal early this year with same GTB naira master card. It should work so far your daily limit is not exceeded.

Cheers.

Thanks so much. Just spoke to my accounts officer and he put me clear too.

Certified Project Manager with IPMP? I have this certification I did during my service year. Till date, I am yet to find it relevance.

Another worthless certificate is NIM.
The painful part of it is dat I didn't enjoy my Alawaee then because of these certifications, coming to real world I realized that I wasted my resources.

I am thinking of removing it from my CV.
