I used a schedule, managed resources, but the budget was not managed by me, and since this was a presales task, there was no revenue generation, and 2) I was assigned to develop training material and then trained hundreds of new hires in a couple of modules in the areas of Project Management, Presentation Skills, and methodologies, but it was the same course taught over and over to groups of 20 students each time for over 2 years. Can I use this experience? My local manager in the US for assignment Nr 2) retired and I lost contact with him. Who else can I request to certify this experience? Another instructor? Former students? How old can this experience be to be recognized by the PMI? Thanks for your suggestions and input!!

I must confess I have no idea how they go about selecting people for an audit. Very strange Anatole. I must confess I have no idea how they go about selecting people for an audit.

May be. Just look at this and think: out of our UK PMP prep course group of 12 people with the only individual of a Russian origin and the only individual of a Nigerian origin in it, two people were selected for the audit. Guess who? Both, a Russian and a Nigerian. Hi, PMI say they select people for the audit randomly. May be.
