Anyone Here Have Any Knowledge About The PMP Certificate?

Specifically, the experience requirement. What do they consider as experience? I've had jobs whereby I was a Manager/Supervisor, but none of these jobs required hardcore PM certs.

1. Any experience managing projects

Not people management, although that kind of experience helps if you've got the rest.

What you need is to come up with any projects that you were (even remotely) responsible for and use that as your experience. You do need like 1000 hours of experience though (it's been awhile since I did it) and you'll need to document it, including the number of hours spent on different phases of individual projects, so if you don't have that kind of management experience you can't really fake it.

2. I Work As A Dept. Manager / Project Manager for a Law Firm

I work on a variety of cases/ projects, and I bill my time. However, I cannot produce that information. I cannot get my billing records and show them. Those records are the property of my employer(s).

In addition, I will be leaving my current job soon.

3. You don't need to produce the info unless they audit you

You just need to document it on their form. I had the same issue about the documentation belonging to current and previous employers - I figured if they audited me I was going to have to stop the process. I don't really understand how they think people are supposed to provide backup without removing proprietary information from their employers.

I do believe you now have to have a supervisor sign off on your application or something like that. Someone who can verify that you actually did the work you're claiming on the PMP app.
