PMP Certificate: Out of the Ordinary
Some people may think that certificates really are not a big thing. They may go on thinking that a certificate is just a piece of paper and another addition to your credential but hardly goes noticed. But if you are aspiring for top level positions in big shot companies, you would find these line of thinking entirely false.
A PMP certificate is more than just a certificate.
The PMP certification was actually launched by the Project Management Institute. Nobody can just be authorized to take on the certification exam and even if you have been accepted to take it, that still does not guarantee that you would get your certification. It really takes a rather grueling process to get it but once you do, youOd realize how much itOs all worth it.
Before you get approved, you would have to present your project management credentials first to the proper authorities.
They will look at your educational attainment and how much of it has been focused on project management majors.
Then they would of course also see how actually experienced you are in the field of project management. Usually, they require eight years of first hand experience wherein you have served as a project manager yourself for a minimum of sixty months. Moreover, this means that you did not report to any other supervisor but led your own team into accomplishing different projects.
Once you get approved, the PMP certificate is still not easily within reach. You need to undergo the exam which would assess just how much you really know about project management. It involves the basics as well as the indepth knowledge project man

agers should be aware of. The exam is what bags the PMP certificate in the end.

Which PMP Certification Course Should I
Take?
In an ideal world, we would have all the leisure time at our disposal to be able to study any topic we choose for as long as we wish. Unfortunately, this is not an ideal world so most of us have responsibilities that will limit the time we have for pursuing studies aside from work. But we know that we need to study in order to advance in our current profession D and that holds true as well for the Project Management Professional occupation.
Equally ideally, we would have the resources (like money for car fuel, or for transportation via mass transit) to be able to attend classroom sessions for the PMP Certification Course we need. But this may not always be feasible (like if we have to work from 8 to 5
in our present job to support ourselves and our families) so for those who cannot go to the classroom location, the classroom can come to you via online distance learning options instead.
Though the classroom sessions could provide more indepth knowledge and skills to us, the online options are good too because they can zero in on the particular topics we are most interested in or need the most. So the advantage with a classroom session is you get more comprehensive training that leaves you a well-rounded Project Management Professional. The advantage with online sessions is that they weed out the surplus knowledge and help you focus on whatever knowledge and skills are most necessary to us.
So it would be difficult to say which one is best, because that would be implying a one-size-fits-all approach is best. And in Project Management, that is never true.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Using
Blogs as Your PMP Dumps
Let us say you are someone aspiring to become a PMP (or Project Management Professional), and you are looking for some PMP dumps (or brain dumps as they are also known) to help you prepare for the PMP accreditation process and exam. Would any blogs be useful as your PMP dumps?
It would depend on the proficiency level of the person who created these blogs in the first place. The biggest disadvantage with a PMP dump or PMP brain dump is that you are limited by the intelligence level and skill sets of the person who wrote the material.
This means that if the creator had a so-so mark on the PMP
exam and is a mediocre Project Management Professional, it would probably be a bad idea to use his experience as your benchmark for training for your own accreditation exam. But if you choose someone who is a very good Project Management Professional (as
proven by his work records and his PMP exam score, then it might be a good idea to use the blogs of that person to help you along too.
But, with the content of blogs (and this applies to all content of all blogs), you have to take the information supplied with a grain of salt: is this person telling the truth? You only have the word of the writer as your basis, so (unless you personally know this writer) you have to sieve through the advice of the person on his blog to find out what rings true and what sounds illogical and downright untrue.
This is also why some experts denounce the use of brain dumps altogether and advocate use of legitimate (albeit more expensive) PMP preparation material instead.
