The problem is I have worked on about 45 projects in the last 3 years, so the application is taking a long time to fill out.

Do you have your PMP Wilson?
Oddly enough.....no. I did register a CAPM designation several years ago (primarily a paperwork exercise at the time), but that was just for the sake of having it. I believe it needs renewal every four years, so it may have even expired at this point?

To be honest - I got into the business before most people recognized it as a business. That allowed me to kind of chart my own course, and designations/education weren't nearly as important as results. It's allowed me to be lazy and coast on my network and previous successes. That wouldn't fly now......you need education and/or designations just to get a chance at delivering results.

As for the Mt. Royal course itself - I meant what I said. The course has a reputation as a strong program that cannot be passed without putting in a lot of effort. That makes it VERY valuable.
