This year company suddenly offers for PMP course. The first batch , i gave it a pass since was thinking there was some contract binding deal behind.
Turns out there is none. Guess the pandemic and HRDF allowance having no place to spend (teambuilding blablab) the government subsidy plays a role here. So i took the chance and requested on 2nd batch offering.
It's a 5 days course, 9-5pm or 6pm. Weekends, since it's sort of like the PMI certification benchmark or milestone it's certainly a good thing to have in my CV.
Looking at day1 that just finished, apparently PMI is also evolving , and there is now addition of Agile or dynamics PM compared to old days waterfall or predictive model. It no longer goes about the traditional cycle of Initiate, Plan/Execute, Monitor & control then closure. The PMP knowledge areas are still around, and as usual meshed around.
Ok. 4 more weekends days to go and one Exam (Boss stage) to clear.
