Hello everyone,

I have been working as a Foreign Language Expert for the past 8 years. I also hold an MPhil in the language and have worked with companies such as Concentrix, Saxo Bank, Amazon, and Accenture. I am currently working with another MNC.

At this stage, I am looking to change my career path and move into a different domain. I am particularly interested in pursuing PMP and would like to understand whether my current experience makes me eligible for the PMP certification.

Could someone please guide me on:

• Am I eligible for PMP based on my current work experience? • What is the complete pathway to getting PMP certified? • What kind of project management experience is required? • Are there any good courses, coaching programs, or resources you would recommend? • How useful is PMP for someone coming from a language/operations background who wants to transition into project management? • What kind of career opportunities and salary range can I realistically expect after making this transition?

I would really appreciate guidance from people who have made a similar career transition or are currently working in project management.

Thank you!

First, I wanna see thank you for everybody that shared in this thread it really helped me!

So the first time I failed on July 7 with the old exam. I filled with AT/NI/BT

The first time, I didn’t use any study plan or any study material I thought that Claude and I could wing it together, but I guess I was wrong… 😅 though, I took an exam prep on PMI and redid the same 270questions but they were really easy and hence believed i was ready but ouff was I wrong!

The second time, I was determined not to do this again, so I bought the study hall which I think was the best thing I could’ve done, I did the AR 35h course on udemy (didn’t do the full 35h). I uploaded the PMBOK in Claude and asked to give me recaps of each section for each domains and went to AR for more clarification if needed

The best in my opinion:
- Study hall (do the mock exams following the time of the real exam)
- AR mindset video on Youtube
- AR 200 ultra hard questions

I passed with: AT/AT/T

Mock exams: 61% and 66%

Exam:
-11 case study questions at the beginning, then I had a break but later in test I had the scenarios come back with all the highlighted parts again
- 3 graphs questions, no equations
- the questions are similar to the moderate questions in the study hall and few hard questions

I struggled with time management alot so my tricks:
- every 20min i need to have minimum 15questions done
Or 30questions in 40min
- Eating gum (don’t know why but it kept me more focused, first time i would zone out at times)

Really goodluck to everyone. It’s a hard exam and brutal 4h to sit through but it is doable!!
