		<description>Dear Admin


really appreciate your reply, yes i agree that it would be a really steep ascend to pass the exam as I am going through Kim Heldman&#039;s book, and i found there are 90 % terms are unique and unknown to me. 

But ther are things which are common on the macro level with my MBA syllabus, that is - Initiating, Planning , Executing, Monitoring/controlling and closing.

i have to be honest what i beleive, that it would be more of a memory test rather than the test of experience as i will have to mug up a couple of books.

Lets try 

thanks

		<description>Azeem,

Some of your activities may quality as project management experience. For example, making budgets (cost management), feasibility study, portfolio management.

I still do think though that you need to study a lot in order to be able to pass the PMP, as there are some basic Project Management concepts that might be unknown to you. It is up to you to decide whether to apply or not, there is no harm of stating your experience and see what PMI decides (whether you&#039;re eligible or not).</description>

		<description>Dear Admin

thanks for the comment, may be my designation seems ordinary on the first instance, but i head the sales of a zone which is a whole country. (Precisely - Regional Sales Manager)

Apart from Sales, my responsibility also involves, 
Market research as well as feasibility study 
Demand forcasting as well as making budgets.
Portfolio management as well as its enhancement.

please let me know if i can go for some other reputed certification related to my experience.

thanks

		<description>Azeem,

I&#039;m afraid you&#039;re not. You need to have a documented project management experience for the PMP, your experience is restricted to sales.</description>

		<description>I have stumbled upon a great deal of PMP certifications which seems to fall in the &quot;fake&quot; experience category. I honestly cannot see how a person will be able to clear PMP exam 2 years after university. We are talking 25 years old PMP certified managers. Beyond the age, which I agree that is not the single most important thing, I cannot really believe the real life experience can be acquired. So far I was not able to get any comment from PMI, nor from my local chapter. I think PMI is rather interesting in collecting the money rather than keeping it&#039;s value...</description>
