About PMI Credentials

As a global organization with a 39-year history of advocacy for the profession, Project Management Institute (PMI®) supports practitioners with project management credentials that objectively assess experience, education and knowledge. The family of credentials includes:
• Project Management Professional (PMP®)
• Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®)
• Program Management Professional (PgMP)SM
• PMI-Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)SM
PMI credentials establish your dedication to and proficiency in project management. To attain a credential, you must satisfy the educational and professional experience requirements established by PMI and demonstrate your ability to apply your project management knowledge to situational and scenario-based questions in the examination. In the case of PgMP, you also must successfully complete two additional evaluations. When you earn one or several of these prestigious credentials, you gain distinction and recognition in a growing community of project management practitioners. A PMI credential also increases your visibility within your organization and on a global level.

In order to maintain the credential, you must show ongoing professional commitment to the field of project management by satisfying PMI Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program or by renewing the credential.

If you are ready to establish your credibility in the application of project management practices and become a more valuable member of your organization, you have taken a step in the right direction. Join the ranks of this elite group of credential holders and gain the professional recognition you deserve.
