1) Check prerequisites

You need project management experience and recognized training. Which combination applies to you depends on your educational background:

We will be happy to clarify whether you meet the requirements in a brief discussion. Book a consultation appointment now

Info: If you do not yet meet the practical admission requirements for the PMP, we recommend the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification. This proves that you have the same knowledge as a PMP, even if you do not yet have the same practical experience.

3) Receive admission & pay examination fee

If everything fits, you will receive approval for testing within a few days.

Then:

  • Pay examination fee (cheaper with PMI membership!)
  • Schedule an exam – online or at the test center
  • If you happen to be selected for an “audit exam”, you will need:
    • Certificates
    • Confirmations from the supervisor
    • Proof of your training

Don’t worry: we’ll help you every step of the way.

5) Take the exam – and be certified

Ready? Then let’s go. This is how the PMP® exam works:

Facts about the exam Info
Duration 230 minutes
Questions 180 (of which 5 unweighted)
Languages German, English, French, Spanish, among others

But: With our good preparation, you’ll make it the first time.
