You also do not have to be a PMI member to apply to become a certification holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the eligibility requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to earn the PMP Certification, it is important to make sure you meet the given sets of PMP Certification requirements &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A four-year degree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>36 months leading projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>35 hours of project management education\/training or CAPM Certification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 OR \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A high school diploma or an associate\u2019s degree (or global equivalent)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>60 months leading projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>35 hours of project management education\/training or CAPM Certification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What supporting documentation should I send with my application?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When submitting an application, you do not need to send documentation. However, you will be required to send supporting documentation if your application is selected for a random audit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once I pass the exam or evaluations, what next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may refer to yourself as a certification holder although your certificate package can take six to eight weeks to arrive in the mail. Please refer to the &#8220;Use of Your PMI Certification&#8221; section of the handbooks for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also can start making plans for maintaining your certification by familiarizing yourself with the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program and its requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I schedule a certification exam appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are eligible, PMI will e-mail you examination scheduling instructions with your eligibility code, which you will need when scheduling your exam appointment at a testing center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where will the examination be given?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All PMI exams are offered at approved Pearson VUE Testing Centers worldwide. You can check for locations on Pearson VUE\u2019s website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are the exams available in languages other than English?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMP, CAPM, and PMI-ACP exams are translated into multiple languages. Other certification exams are not currently translated, but PMI will notify you when translations are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If I fail the exam, can I take it again?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fail the exam on your first attempt, you can re-take it two more times within your one-year eligibility period. Fees are associated with re-examination. Details for re-examination can be found in the certification handbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens if my eligibility expires and I have not taken the exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your application is valid for one (1) year from the date of approval. If you allow your eligibility to lapse, you must re-apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are PDUs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PDUs stand for Professional Development Units. PDUs are the measuring unit used to quantify your professional development as part of the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. 1 PDU = 1 hour of learning\/activity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/project-management-professional-certification-pmp-free-practice-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Project-Management-Professional-PMP.jpg\" alt=\"Project Management Professional (PMP)\" class=\"wp-image-65003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Project-Management-Professional-PMP.jpg 961w, https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Project-Management-Professional-PMP-750x117.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start your preparation with the latest and updated Practice Exam for Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification.
