Actually, no one can 100% guarantee that you will pass the PMP, but what GetCoached.in does guarantee is that we will cover the entire scope of the PMP course, answer all your queries, and ensure that you have understood all the topics. Beyond that, whether you pass or not will depend on your extent of studies, how you use your experience for the answers, your speed of reading, your level of practice, especially for numerical questions, and last but not the least, time management. For more, check the last 2 videos on the PMP page.

The PMI Handbook (see the Useful Links tab) provides detailed information on this. In brief, you need 36 months of project-related experience if you have a degree, and 60 months of project experience if you have a diploma. This experience should have been gained in the past 8 years. You need not be in a project management role during all these years, but you should have led and directed projects (guided team members, assigned work, tracked and reported progress). If required (around 10% of cases), PMI may ask you to get a signature from your manager, sponsor or customer confirming that you performed the project in the stated role.

You can appear for the CAPM exam, which is based on the same courseware and has the same training. The exam is simpler than the PMP and costs less.

You need to read the PMBOK Guide, 7th Edition, for PMP exam preparation, the PMP Process Groups Practice Guide, plus additional books that we may recommend later if you are unable to get a good score in your mock exams. The PMBOK Guide is available for free download once you become a PMI member.

The information provided for this FAQ lists a PMI one-year membership fee of $139 and a PMP exam fee of $405, totalling $544. This is described as slightly cheaper than paying for the exam without membership. One benefit of membership is free access to download the PMBOK Guide. For CAPM, the listed exam fee is $300 for non-members and $225 for members.

Note: Fees can change. Confirm current exam pricing and eligibility directly with PMI before registering.

Generally, people take 1 to 3 months to be ready. It depends on the available time, reading speed, grasping power, experience and mock exam scores. If you can devote 1.5 hours every weekday and 3 hours every weekend, you may be able to prepare in around 1.5 months.

If you are consistently scoring around 75% in various mock exams, you can consider yourself ready for the PMP exam. This is not a guarantee, but it can be a useful indicator. You never know which questions will come your way on exam day.

The supplied FAQ says you can take two more attempts within the one-year eligibility window after submitting your application and paying the fees. It lists a re-examination fee of $275 for members and $375 for non-members. Confirm the current retake policy and fees with PMI.

The supplied FAQ describes the exam as 180 objective questions to be answered in nearly 4 hours, with no negative marking and one correct answer from four options. It says you can take the exam at a Pearson VUE centre or from home or office, where available. Check PMI's current exam format and delivery options before booking.

PMP does not publish a fixed passing percentage. You receive proficiency-level results after completing the exam. The supplied FAQ mentions scoring around 75% in mock exams as a possible indicator of readiness, but it is not a guarantee of passing.

It begins from your first interaction: you speak directly with Ashish Paranjpe, the PMP/CAPM course trainer. The course content is comprehensive, while the material is designed not to be too heavy to read. The interactive Excel sheets help you understand the processes better. The trainer (or coach) is available to support you as you continue your studies. The training is offered at a competitive fee.

No, the supplied FAQ says training does not necessarily have to be from an ATP. It states that PMI permits 35 contact hours of training and a certificate from an organisation when the topics align with the PMP syllabus. For current requirements, please verify directly with PMI. You can also contact us on +91 98226 03367 for more information.

The supplied FAQ states that the 35 contact hours certificate has no expiry date, so you can complete the training this year and take the exam in the future. Check current PMI application rules when you apply.

The supplied FAQ states that PMP certification is valid for 3 years from the date you pass the exam and must be renewed by earning 60 PDUs. Visit PMI.org for current renewal requirements.
