PMP certification is valid for 3 years. To renew every 3 years, you need to earn and claim 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) from PMI. Also, a renewal fee of $60, if you are a member of PMI or 150$ if you are not a member needs to be paid. Once done, a new PMP certificate with new expiry date will be sent via postal mail to the registered address. PMP License Number remains the same.

PMI allows 3 attempts in 1 calendar year. If the candidate does not clear in a year, the 4th attempt can be done only after a wait of 1 year.

We have one of the best trainers from the industry and that too fulltime, not freelancers. All our trainers have at least 19 years of industry experience in Project Management. Certainly, PMP certified + PMI Authorized and have conducted at least 100 PMP training both classroom and online combined. You can check their profiles on our website and their feedback on social media on various platforms like Quora, Facebook.

All the study materials based on the package selected will be couriered to you. Any courier within India will not be charged. Any courier to be done outside of India will need to be paid extra, as per the actual courier charges. Once enrolled, we will connect with you about the same. It normally takes anywhere between 2- 7 days for the courier to arrive, based on the address/ location.

There will be 3 Case Studies and more than 15 activities associated with PMP. They can be downloaded.

Two of the main reasons that PMP aspirants opt for ProThoughts are: Trainer and Study Materials. 36 hours of training sessions are driven by Rita Mulcahy Methodology and by one of the best trainers (PMI Authorized) from the industry, that too not freelancers. That makes our training sessions very effective. Value wise if you check, we are probably one of the cheapest in terms of our offerings.

Project Management Institute (PMI)® takes 5 – 14 days to review online PMP® forms.

To become PMP® certified, candidates need to complete official 35 hours of training in Project Management and submit PMP® application online on pmi.org. PMI® reviews the application and their application is normally accepted within 14 days. If any abnormality is found, PMI can put the application in Audit or Query and candidates need to provide relevant paperwork (nothing to worry, just extra paperwork). Once application is approved, exam fees has to be paid and exam date has to be taken. Once attend and clear the exam, name of pass candidates is displayed on the PMI® website within a few days. Soft downloadable copies are available within 24-48 hours from clearing the exam on PMI website. PMP® certificate is delivered to you within 4-6 weeks.

Currently, we maintain an Authorized Training Partners Directory here on PMI.org’s Authorized Training Partner webpage, which is updated weekly to reflect new Partners. However, this will eventually be replaced by a more robust “Find an ATP” tool that is under development. It will be a search engine-like tool similar to the Find a Course tool that is now live.

For those Partners that have completed the Reseller Intent form from their Account Manager, contracts have been distributed. If you are interested, there is still time to complete the form.

For users experiencing problems, please contact marketing.portal@pmi.org.

Updated cloned questions will be available quarterly through your Account Manager

Some partners are using the questions to create mock tests or discussion sessions. Otherwise, they can be shared with learners, but they are a benefit exclusively for Premier partners.

Yes. We have changed the format of the questions. They are now in a spreadsheet in order to easily show any changes implemented to the questions, including the answer or the rational.

The Find a Course tool is available now for Specialty Courses, which include PMP® and Disciplined Agile courses.

Student and instructor programs are regionally priced, which you will see upon checking out of the LO Choice Platform. Remember, the Program Guide also includes pricing as well as other program details.

If your application was in process prior to 31 December, your courses are still active in the Find a Course feature and are still eligible for PDUs. However, if you did not submit your application until 2021, then you will need to enter your courses into the platform for inclusion on the Find a Course feature.

Different learning options meet the needs of various learners. Learners who prefer to self-teach will be successful with the on-demand program. However, other learners benefit from instructor-led interaction, conversation, and activities supporting the learning. These learners will be successful with an instructor-led course from an Authorized Training Partner.

Sending feedback to pmpprepfeedback@pmi.org and dacoursefeedback@pmi.org is the best way to send feedback about the courses. Encouraging learners to complete course surveys from within the Logical Operations student learning materials is another way to collect feedback.

The ATP Directory is the current way we share the PMP® Exam Prep and Disciplined Agile Partner listing.

The Marketing Toolkit is available now by visiting marketing.pmi.org.

Courses are to be uploaded via the Education Provider Portal (EPP), which is the backend portal for the Find a Course tool on PMI.org. We have introduced a new category for the PMP® Exam Prep course and the Disciplined Agile workshops – Specialty. For step-by-step instructions, click here. If you inadvertently create either of these courses as PDU-eligible, they will be denied so you can correctly upload the details in the Specialty programs and available in the Find a Course search tool.

Yes. New Disciplined Agile instructors can be added to an Authorized Training Partner’s instructor list. Credential verification, resume/cv review, proof of training experience, and the one-day Train the Trainer are requirements for new Disciplined Agile instructors. Click here for step-by-step instructions for adding a new instructor.

Yes, there is a sample available upon request to your Account Manager.

We anticipate the Performance Dashboard to be available late Q1 2021.

It is highly encouraged for students to complete the survey in order for us to share feedback to you via the Performance Dashboard. The survey can be found on the Logical Operations platform where the students access the learning materials.

Since the new exam has only begun as of 2 January 2021, it is too early to provide conclusive results, but when they are ready to share, they will be shared with you on the Performance Dashboard.

Account Managers will share results during account review meetings.

The Exam Content Outline is not based on any ONE reference, but rather many references. One of those references in the PMBOK® Guide.

Due to federal regulations, we cannot share pass nor fail rates. We will only be able to share how well an Authorized Training Partner compares to the average.

The PMP® Exam Prep course materials are designed to help students prepare to take the exam. The topics, learning objectives and tasks covered in the course materials are aligned with the Exam Content Outline, which is what the exam is based on.

The intent of the licensed instructional material provides what an instructor and learner need for success. Additional, supplemental elements (real-life applications, success stories, videos) foster discussion and can aid in students’ learning retention.

The PMP® exam content is based on the Exam Content Outline, which is reviewed every 3-5 years. PMP® exam items are updated throughout the year as part of our continuous improvement and examination maintenance process. Once the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition is released, it will replace the Sixth Edition as reference to validate the content.

Please send feedback on instructional materials to pmpprepfeedback@pmi.org or dacoursefeedback@pmi.org.

The instructor guide includes the details required to lead the class - answers to questions, slide notations, and supplemental suggestions. The student guide is essentially the "book" for class. The instructor guide is the same "book," but with instructor notes in the margin about how to teach the class.

The PMP® exam content is based on the Exam Content Outline, which is reviewed every 3-5 years. PMP® exam items are updated throughout the year as part of our continuous improvement and examination maintenance process. Once the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition is released, it will replace the Sixth Edition as reference to validate the content.

The current CAPM® exam will continue to be based on the Sixth Edition as dictated by the Exam Content Outline for the CAPM® examination. The Sixth Edition is a test preparation tool that candidates may leverage to prepare for the CAPM® exam. More detail can be found in the CAPM® handbook.

Additional details about the exam updates can be found the PMI.org website, Under Certifications, PMP® Exam Preparation.

All scored exam questions are weighted evenly.

No. PMP® Exam Prep courses are only permitted to use the licensed content from PMI. Partners may offer supplemental elements as part of their courses, such as discussion groups, success stories, or real-life applications of knowledge, but cannot create their own instructional materials for exam prep. Organizations that deliver non-licensed material are violating copywrite and intellectual property laws, which may lead to legal consequences and a removal from the program. If you observe non-compliance, such as an Authorized Training Partner delivering PMP® Exam Prep courses that are not using our licensed content, we encourage you to report it by completing the Non-Compliance Form.

We are planning for a 2021 release of the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition but are unable to provide a final date at this time. As soon as we have a final date for the publication, we will announce this in our official communication channels. Until then, we will continue to provide updates and links to helpful resources and informational sessions through our dedicated web page: www.pmi.org/standards-projects.

Access to PMI's standards and guides will not be provided in advance of publication.

The PMBOK® Guide is an input to preparing for the PMP® exam – and is listed as a reference – but it is not a test-preparation tool. The new PMP® exam, which launched 2 January 2021, will continue to use the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition as one of several references. We strongly recommend that candidates refer to the current Exam Content Outline for up-to-date information about preparing for certifications. Information about PMI certifications and future changes can be found at pmi.org/certifications.

We recognize that many project managers have used specific elements like the Process Groups and ITTOs very successfully in their own project environments. If you are among them, you can continue to use these elements while aligning to the concepts in the Seventh Edition.

The course materials were developed to address the PMP® Exam Content Outline. If the Exam Content Outline changes, Authorized Training Partners will have access to updated course materials.

PMIstandards+TM is continuously updated with new materials and functionality.

Key learnings and concepts from the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition remain valid and are referenced in sections of the draft guide. The content of the seventh edition is in final draft, and we are engaging with the last group of stakeholders as part of our efforts to ensure all voices are heard. We are planning for a 2021 release but are unable to provide a final date. As soon as we have a final date for the publication of the PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition, we will announce this through all normal communication channels. Until then, we will continue to provide updates and links to helpful resources and informational sessions through our dedicated web page: pmi.org/standards-projects.

No. The PMBOK® Guide is built on a framework of Project Performance Domains that put the focus on enabling outcomes through project deliverables. It's the PMP® Exam that is aligned to the Exam Content Outline. Remember, the exam is based on many references, not just the PMBOK® Guide.

The PMP exam content is based on the Exam Content Outline, which is reviewed every 3-5 years. PMP® exam items are updated throughout the year as part of our continuous improvement and examination maintenance process.

PMI has posted an Authorized Training Partner directory listing over 500 partners, including Limited Disciplined Agile Partners. This is updated weekly to reflect new Partners who have joined.

We utilized a third-party research company in order to guide us in the tiered region structure of the program. If there is a need to update regions, it will be reviewed; however there have not been any changes to how we define the territories since the inception of the program in May 2020.

There is no limit to the number of instructors per Authorized Training Partner. All instructors must be vetted and individually added or removed by each Authorized Training Partner as an instructor.

PMI does not offer instructor-led PMP® Prep courses, so candidates looking for an instructor-led experienced are directed to Authorized Training Partners.

As an Authorized Training Partner, there is no restriction on the number of PDU programs uploaded into the Education Provider Portal and thus no fee to add them.

In order to simplify access points and information, we have designed the ATP Resource Center. This dynamic page has links, resources, and information that is relevant to your needs as a single reference point.
