All your questions- is the exam difficult?; is it possible to do the exam while working full-time?; how to apply for the exam? how to prepare for the exam?; what does the exam consist of? and others- will be addressed during the session.
The PMI Thailand Chapter is a volunteer non-profit organization with objectives geared towards the introduction and implementation of well-structured project management methodologies within organizations operating in Thailand. The Chapter charters volunteer committees to help further its objectives by adding value and benefits to its members. This page illustrates the number of volunteer committees currently chartered by the board and lists the various volunteers who are kindly contributing to the membership community. If you think you can contribute to any of these committees, please feel free to contact us.
The PMI Thailand Chapter owes its success to the commitment of the approximately 50 volunteer members. These volunteers share their time and expertise in disciplines such as Communication, Marketing, Education and Training, Construction and Building, and Technology.
Volunteer positions range from “Director” to “Team Member” and “Attendee” on a variety of short and long term projects. The Chapter is exploring ways to involve more members and we are creating more volunteer positions.
Members can earn 1 PDU for each hour of volunteer service.
Volunteering is also a great way to gain experience as you collaborate and network with other professionals.
If you’re looking for a nice way to earn some PDUs, why don’t you consider writing an article for the newsletter? We are always interested in additional content. If your article is approved, you could earn up to five units. That’s a pretty good deal!
