Educational and Practical Experience Requirements
Each of the PMI professional designations has varying educational and practical experience requirements that must be accept by PMI before the candidate can sit for a certification exam. Candidates must pass the exam before certification can be granted. Once granted, in order to maintain certification, the PM certificate holder must meet an annual qualifying continuing education requirement.
A candidate is assessed by examining his or her competence using: Reviewing Education and Experience—A combination of education and/or experience in project management is required for each certification.
- Testing Competence—The candidate is required to apply project management concepts and experience to potential on-the-job situations through a series of scenario-based questions.
- Ongoing Development—Maintenance of a PMI certification requires the accumulation of ongoing professional development and education or, in the case of the CAPM certification, re-certification.
Supervision
PMI’s entire certification program is supervised by the Certification Governance Council (CGC), a committee of PMI credential holders who have a Board mandate to oversee PMI’s credentials.
