Looking to take the PMPi certification test soon, however I wanted to get some more insight on the “36 months project management experience” requirements.

How am I supposed to work as a PM for 3 years without being PM certified. I don’t understand the logic. I have only been working as a PM for 9 months and looking to get certified to better perform in my position.
