We need more people like you on YouTube. This is what is required for any aspirant.

Isn't this the same for a college degree or any other training certification? When has any of these ever fully qualified someone for a specific role? Degrees and certifications indicate that the individual has foundational knowledge. In my experience working with many project and program managers on multiple multimillion-dollar projects, I've observed that they often lack an understanding of basic project management and stakeholder engagement. Given this, I would rather hire a PMP rookie who is eager to learn than someone with years of experience but limited understanding.

Such a great explanation on PMP Certification.

In short Certification will add value in your career, if you really learnt & applied skills in your PM Job.🎉

[ShivaBhat-js]

Great explanation, PMP is not worthless but unrealistic expectations should be avoided. Most people just mug up and pass, instead of practicing its concepts ....

[RobertBilvado]

True. Never used or ask to get. Reason... The PMP curriculum and painstaking test has NOTHING to due with day-to-day work as a project manager.

[howardpepper]

Ray, I think you are spot on! I sat by an employee who got past the interview phase and got hired on as a project manager in my organization. You can tell he had no practical PM skils or business accumen. We were also connected on Linkedin and I dicovered that he didn't have any PM experience in his background! It kind of makes you wonder how he was able to get his application approved so he could sit for the exam!

Thanks for posting this. The big takeaway here is that there aren’t any shortcuts to a highly successful career. It takes a lot of hard work and time to make it. Be humble, have an open mind, and try to learn as much as you can. It will all be worth it if you approach your career preparation this way.

I have come across pmp certification holder who passed the exam. But have less or no project management experience. Today you can get help passing the pmp with organization who help you pass by teaching you a system how to pass. You can write the pmp with learning the pmp mind set and probably pass the exams.

[GregDalin]

I agree I have interviewed project managers for my team and I can pretty much call out the ones that are book trained/ focused or actually have world world experience. The PMP tells me they have knowledge, but not the experience sometimes like I had someone who was a wedding planner to go into a IT PM role... Unfortunately I know she qualified but doesn't mean it can all transfer over

[BrightOseiBadu-yfdi]

Hi I've passed my PMP exams and your videos and simulator on Udemy contributed alot to this success story. Thank you very much

[siluvainayagam]

Very true, I personally know resources who never had a day of project management experience and took the exam.

[MrMancus]

Hi Ray,
Thanks for this honest and surprisingly good video. I just clicked out of curiosity.
I am a preparing for a PMP exam - well not in a hurry - and there are two reasons. #1: I am applying for a job that requires the certification as preferred. #2: It is useful to speak the same language with other PMs. I have experienced some misunderstandings in the past due to different PM "schools" and experience background of PMO members and a lot of time was spent just with clarification of terms and expressions. I want to avoid this in my new position.
By the way, I find the PMBOK and the other material providing the knowledge for the exam quite useful.
Congrats, this is a good video. 👏 I fully agree that a piece of paper will neither do the job for one, nor substitute the required experience.

[aikiseppuku]

You didn't understand the reason for certifications. It is to make the life of recruiters who don't understand the to-be-filled job easier - not to learn something. If you want to learn something, you just take a course, read a book, gain real life experience. You don't need a certification for this.

[zethalal]

It took me 8 months preparation to pass pmp exam in first attempt.

[IncredibleVirajPatra]

I got clarity now. Thank you for sharing this relevant piece of practical advice.

[namratha.g.r.]

Absolutely Candid explanation Sir. Same things happen in the interview. Any skill has value, if it is implemented rather than only seen in the certification. It will be atleast good to say truth that they do not have experience and need some project management experience and that's why they are joining that organisation

[true]

Thanks for sharing the insights... really helpful..

[Eliy]

Factual POV, if a person doing supporting roles in the Project, is she still eligible to sit an exam?

[vinodhasure]

Does PMP certification help in getting entry-level project management jobs?

[pavanKumar-ieby]

For PmP certification renewal, can i claim IIM-B certification certificate...? Please guide me
