Project Management Certification
PMI Certification
PMI’s certification credentials are designed to make sure that all certification holders have demonstrated their competence through fair and valid measures. PMI uses the most reliable testing measures for assessment of candidates.
Candidates are assessed using:
- Education and Experience—A combination of education and/or experience in project management is required.
- Testing Competence— Candidates are required to apply project management concepts and experience to potential on-the-job situations. Scenario-based questions are used to evaluate competence.
- Ongoing Professional Development—After you have achieved your PMI certification, it must be maintained, requiring the accumulation of ongoing professional development and education (acquiring PDU) or, in the case of the CAPM® certification, re-certification.
CAPM® Certification
The CAPM® credential offers recognition to those who are starting a career in project management as well as project team members who wish to demonstrate their project management knowledge. The CAPM® certification denotes that the individual has the knowledge in the principles and terminology of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), the Project Management Institute (PMI) standard of project management which provides generally recognized good practices.
PMP® Certification
The PMP® credential offers recognition to experienced practitioners demonstrating competence and a solid foundation of project management skills. The PMP® recognizes the competence of an individual to perform in the role of a project manager and experience in leading and directing projects.
