Do you clearly know the PMP exam registration process?

The PMP certification exam is a project management professional certification test initiated by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Some people are not very clear about the process of registration for the PMP exam. But do not worry, we will explain it to all of you.

First of all, the official organization PMI regulates that you must have a training certificate of no less than 35 hours issued by the project management training organization that has the R.E.P qualification certificate issued by it before you can register to apply for the PMP examination. Therefore, it is impossible to register for the PMP certification exam personally. You need to participate in training at a PMP training institution before you can register for the PMP exam. In particular, PMI does not allow PMP training institutions to register for the exam on behalf of students. The PMP exam registration process will be described in detail below.

1. Visit the official website of PMI at first: www.pmi.org;
