I am very happy with the Virtual Learning course I took up at Simplilearn. I was able to connect with my trainer, Sachin and have my doubts addressed easily even though it was a virtual training environment. He cited interesting examples and talked to the point saving a lot of time and maintaining focus consistently. I would like to thank the Simplilearn team for the overall experience, right from the date I enrolled until now. Keep up the good work and I would like to give a shout out to my trainer. I recommend him strongly.

I opted for Simplilern PMP certification course and was able to crack my certificate. The best part of the course was the classes conducted through Webex. It gives you flexibility, as you have an option of attending classes as per timings convenient to you. The pace of course also gives you an advantage, as you cover course over a time period of 10 days or 8 weekends. The backend support provided by the Simplilearn team is fantastic, they are very prompt in their replies to queries, and can be reached very easily by the phone.

    PDUs are the measuring unit used to quantify approved learning and professional service activities.

  • Do Contact Hours have an expiry date?

    No. PMI® does not mandate any expiry timeline for contact hours earned to qualify for the PMP® Exam, as long as you retain the proof (certificate). There is no deadline or expiry date, though the contact hours must have been acquired before the submission of the application to PMI®. For example, if you earn the contact hours in 2013, there's nothing stopping you from taking the exam in 2017.

  • If I fail the PMP® Exam, how soon can I retake it?

    You are granted a one-year eligibility period in which to pass the examination. During the eligibility period, you may take the examination up to three times. If you fail the examination three times within your one-year eligibility period, you must wait one year from the date of the last examination you took to reapply for the certification. However, after failing a certification examination three times, candidates may opt to apply for any other PMI® certification.

  • How do I apply for PMP® re-examination?

    Participants are granted three chances to pass the PMP® exam in one year. For the second and the third attempt for the examination, the participants have to to pay an additional fee of $275 (for members) or $375 (nonmembers) as a reexamination fee. The participants will have a waiting period of one year before they can re-appear for the exam in case they don't pass in their first three attempts.

  • If I fail in the PMP® Exam, can I apply for reevaluation?

    Yes, you can apply for reevaluation. You may submit a written request to the PMI® Certification Department for review of their decision. Requests can be sent by postal mail to PMI®, or by email to certappeals@pmi.org.

  • How do I document the experience?

    Use the experience verification section of the online application to record your experience leading and directing the project. Record projects individually regardless of the number of projects you include.
     

  • What does 36 months of non-overlapping experience requirement mean for the PMP® Exam?

    According to PMIs calculation, the concept of non-overlapping experience implies to - if a professional is working on multiple projects at the same time then the experience will be counted for one project over that stipulated period for which he/she worked on the project. Example, Professional Mr. A has managed 2 projects in 2016, Project I ran from Jan'16 to Aug'16 (8 months) and Project II ran from April'16 to Dec'16 (9 months). In this case, we have an overlap of 5 months (Apr'16 to Aug'16). So, the experience for these 5 months will be counted as 5 months and not as 10 months (5x2=10). So, the non-overlapping experience is 12 months.
