The PMP exam assesses project management competencies across people, processes and business environment, requiring candidates to apply project management knowledge in different situations.

  3. Submit your application to PMI and provide any supporting documentation requested.
  4. Pay the certification fee and schedule the PMP exam. 
  5. Pass the PMP exam to obtain the certification.

Check the PMI website for the latest official certification requirements and application process.

PMP Exam

The PMP exam assesses the knowledge and skills required to lead projects across predictive, agile and hybrid environments. The exam includes 180 questions, lasts 240 minutes, and covers three domains: People (33%), Process (41%) and Business Environment (26%).
