Google Project Management: Professional Certificate

Can the Google Project Management Certification satisfy the mandatory 35 hours required for PMP?

To be eligible for the PMP exam, you must complete 35 mandatory hours of formal project management education. While the Google Project Management Professional Certificate is a popular way to build foundational skills, many professionals are left wondering if this investment also satisfies the specific training requirement set by PMI. At PMC Lounge, we believe that project management’s complexity is optional, and you shouldn’t have to guess whether your hard work counts toward your next major goal.

The confusion surrounding contact hours is a common pain point, but having the right information is the first step in mastering your career. In this video, we break down exactly how these hours are calculated and whether you can apply them to your PMP application. Our mission is to eliminate the noise so you can focus on mastering the essentials and staying ahead of the competition.

Go through the video above to gain the clarity you need to move forward with your PMP application with confidence.
