When a beginner steps into the corporate world in order to establish their career, there are plenty of questions that come to their mind. As having doubts and queries is quite normal even for an experienced person too. If you are a newcomer and want to begin your career with PMP Certification training and have lots of questions related to it, then you must be at the right place.    

In this blog, we will try to find out answers to some of the most commonly raised queries or questions by beginners as well as experienced professionals. Let’s begin our discussion. 

• What Is PMP And Why People Choose It?

I am pretty sure, every training provider as well as career counsellor may have some clients who ask these kinds of questions like “What is the importance of project management and PMP Certification?”

So let us know the answer to this question. Project management is basically a skillset that helps professionals to better handle multiple projects at a moment. On a similar note, PMP training is an educational program that trains a newcomer into a project manager. If you genuinely want to learn ways to lead multiple and complex projects then these credentials are a must for your career. 

• Who Needs PMP Or Project Management Training?

Well this question is not the tough one. It is very easy to answer, whosoever works in the project management domain and needs to implement project management methodologies can go for these credentials. Those who are working in construction, finance, government, healthcare and any other industry which requires a lot of bureaucracy, can consider this certification as a plus point towards their career.

In smaller or low budget organizations, having a certificate can be a hindrance as your knowledge won’t be suited for the type of projects they have or working on it. But, a Project management certificate is something that fits into every business and makes you an excellent project manager. It simply proves that the person has enough basic knowledge about project management methodology and processes as well.

• What do I need to know about the exam before applying for it?

There are some important things that you need to take care of before attempting the exam. Below are the things that you need to know which are also mentioned on PMI’s Website:

• The test consists of 180 questions which must be completed in 230 minutes, should I say 4 hours. 
• Most questions are multiple-choice, with four choices
• There is no negative marking if you marked an incorrect answer, so leave no question unanswered.
• How much longer do I need to prepare for the PMP Exam?

If you truly want an answer to this question, then you should ask by yourself as only you can answer this question. However, the preparation time simply depends on the student. It can be a week, a month or more than that. Qualifying the certification is a very big thing for a project management aspirant. Therefore, it might take a lot of diligent effort and time until the point where you feel 90% confident about your knowledge that you will pass the PMP Exam. 

However, many people prefer to do exam preparation for at least 3 months along with a minimum of eight quality hours per day training program.
