I have been working in IT project management for 5 years now, considering a move into another industry. Most of the jobs I see advertised require the applicant to have the PMP certification.

Is anyone in the process of applying or has been through the process in recent years and wish share their experiences and lessons learned :-)

I am looking for a starting point to begin studying for the exam, I have got a copy of the PMBOK and started to fill out project experience and calculating hours spent in the following areas Initiating the project, Planning the project, Executing the project, Controlling the project, Closing the project etc. My main concern is preparing for the exam.

More importantly has anyone done the PMP certification and found that it was not really worth all the effort and £££?
