TOPIC: Hours spent leading and directing project tasks

Hi Cornelius,

I'm currently trying to start to fill my PMP Application. But I have some question I would like to share with you in order to have some support. Let me describe my situation.

I've been working for about 6+ years in the Telecom area and, of course, I've been always involved in projects (not always as a PM). So, my questions are:

- If I've been working on a project as a team member, can those hours count to the experience in the application?

- The PMP Handbook states that are "... hours spent leading and directing project tasks...", does that is considered only as a PM?. It references the "Project Management Professional Examination Specification" but I've seen on the PMI portal, this is a document we have to pay for it.

- I'm currently working as a Project Quality Manager, can those hours count for my application?.

- Do my Internship’s hours count for my application?.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Best Regards.
