What are the guidelines for the PMP® Exam?
PMI® applies global best practices in examination administration by reporting your proficiency levels. The proficiency levels serve as an aid in measuring your knowledge in specific areas of study and practice. For example, if your result is Below Proficient in one of the domains/chapters, then you know what you need to study to improve. There are not a minimum or maximum number of domains or chapters in which you need to demonstrate proficiency in order to pass the exam. Your pass/fail score is based on your overall performance, not on how many questions you answered right or wrong in a particular domain or chapter.
You may only take the exam three times in any one year. If you fail three times, you must wait one year before you apply for eligibility to take the exam again.
More stringent guidelines are in place when applying for eligibility for the new exam. PMI’s recent Role Delineation Study confirmed the role of the Project Manager as being responsible for all aspects of the project and for the life of the project. For example, you must show work experience in all areas: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling and closing, and documenting key deliverables and outcomes by process groups, as well as specific examples of your leadership in directing each project (a change from the previous eligibility requirements).
Here are the updated requirements:
- If you have a secondary degree (high school diploma, associate degree, or the global equivalent):
- Minimum of 60 months of unique non-overlapping professional project management experience
-
- 35 hours of project management education (covered in the Cheetah Learning pre-course)
- If you have a four-year degree (BS or BA) or its Global Equivalent
- Minimum of 36 months of unique non-overlapping professional project management experience
-
- 35 hours of project management education (covered in the Cheetah Learning pre-course)
- If you have a Bachelor’s Degree or Post-Graduate Degree from a GAC accredited program (Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s or Global Equivalent)
- Minimum of 24 months of unique non-overlapping professional project management experience
- 35 hours of project management education (covered in the Cheetah Learning pre-course)
Do you teach this course in-house (i.e. for companies)?
Yes, we do offer the program on contract for companies. Contact info@cheetahlearning.com to get more information.
Many companies cannot do without all their Project Managers (PMs) for a whole week. They have a very difficult time scheduling the in-house program for their PMs to participate all at once the same week. We do offer quantity discounts on our public courses so a company with 20 or more PMs can have them participate at different times in the various public courses offered monthly in their region. Their PMs can register for a course that best fits their schedule (we don’t need to have every PM in their company take the same course the same week).
