Project management Experience for PMP Exam

alok_shukla1

Hi Harwinder,

While filling up the PMP exam application form [under the project management experience section] the following lines confuse me. I asked a few people and everyone has a varying opinion.

-----------------Verbatim from PMI Website-----------------

Project management experience dating back at least three years from application submittal date.

Project management experience not dating back further than eight years from the application submittal date.

Please Note: If experience outside of acceptable time frame is submitted, experience hours will be pro-rated.

Months are calculated by counting the non-overlapping months for your project that fall within the allowed time period.

---

My Question -- I have project experience spread evenly across eight years. Is there a limitation of which projects[Specific years] I can mention in the application.
My interpretation -- Only list projects which are more than 3 years old but not older than 8 years.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Alok

Hello Alok,

Refer to PMP Handbook for most authentic information.

You can list your PM experience in the last eight years from the date of application (the 3 year thing that you mentioned is not correct). It has to be non-overlapping experience (as explained in the handbook).

Let me know if you have further questions.
