Hello All, I have at least 6 yrs experience as PM. Do I need to take CAPM first then PMP or can I jump right away to PMP?
Appreciate your thoughts and advise.
TIA

I took this from PMI website.Before you apply, make sure you meet of the following sets of PMP Certification requirements:
- A four-year degree
- 36 months leading projects
- 35 hours of project management education/training or CAPM® Certification
— OR —
- A high school diploma or an associate’s degree (or global equivalent)
- 60 months leading projects
- 35 hours of project management education/training or CAPM® Certification

But a lot of folks chase three letter or four letter acronyms for pay bumps. Can’t hate. Hopefully this thread leads to both for OP.

But you’re definitely a scholar and a gentleman. And that’s a wonderful recommendation.
