My answer to Should I undergo training from a PMI authorized institute to take up PMP certification. I mean is that?

Answer by Quratulain Habib:

No it's not mandatory to go to an REP. Look for any site or trainer who can actually train you by answering your questions and checking on your progress. It will be beneficial in helping you understand the concepts and pass the exam.

If the company or training provider is overseas and take an assessment they will come under category E.
