Am I eligible for PMP certification?

I am MBA in Financial Management and I have about 18+ years working experience as Manager Finance / Joint Venture in a Bank, General Manager and Controller in different Companies. Do my experience made me eligible for project management professionals certification. Thanks

Probably.

Simply being a manager does not meet the necessary experience requirement. According to PMI’s website, you need:

A four-year degree (bachelor’s or the global equivalent) and at least three years of project management experience, with 4,500 hours leading and directing projects and 35 hours of project management education.

You will also have to have document each of the 4500 project management hours and supply PMI with references to the hours. The experience needs to include some hours in all of the different sections of the PMBOK.
