Making project indispensible for business results, PMI® serves organizations and practitioners with standards that describe good practices, globally recognized credentials that certify project management expertise, and resources for professional development, networking and community.

PMI® offers seven project management certifications and PMP® is its star certification held by nearly 650, 000 practitioners worldwide. If you’re a less experienced project practitioner looking to demonstrate your commitment to project management, the CAPM® certification is right for you.

Comprising 200 mutually-exclusive multiple-choice questions, PMP^® Certification exam is designed to test PMP^® professional’s level of understanding of how to apply Project Management practices to achieve project objectives.

Below are the essential pre-requisites that are mandatory to attain PMP^® Certification:

• A secondary-level degree / diploma
• Minimum work experience of 5 years in project management with 7,500 hours in directing projects
• 35 hours of education in project management that helps you earn 35 PDUS, mandatory to acquire from Registered Education Provider of PMI^® such as Multisoft

• Project management education of 35 hours

A valuable entry-level certification for project practitioners, CAPM^® is drafted and initiated for those who possess very little or no project management experience at all. The CAPM^® Certification demonstrates a professional’s complete understanding of the fundamental knowledge, processes and terminology of an effective Project Management.

As compared to the PMP^® Certification Exam, the eligibility criteria for CAPM^® is simpler since the exam is designed for entry-level professionals, or professionals who have very little project management work experience.

Some of the qualification credentials that are a must-have include a secondary school diploma (high school diploma) or any global equivalent credential, to apply for the CAPM^® certification exam.

As prescribed by PMI^®, the total number of multiple choice questions in the CAPM^® certification exam is 150, in which 15 questions are pretest questions. In the total score, marks for these pretest questions will not be added. Used to test the validity of future examination, these 15 questions will be random, and participant will not be able to differentiate these questions from the real score able questions.

Allotted time for this examination is three hours with no scheduled break.

Although PMI^® does not disclose the passing score for CAPM^® but the common perception is that if you select correct answers for 61% of the questions, then you may pass the exam, still truthfulness of this claim is not guaranteed.

PMP^® is an in-demand and globally acknowledged credential that hones the project execution and management skills of experienced Project Managers.

PMBOK^® that is Project Management Body of Knowledge^® is a complete segment of processes and knowledge areas accepted as best practices for the project management profession. Globally recognized as a standard (ANSI/PMI^® 99-001-2008 and IEEE 1490-2011), PMBOK^® provides the fundamentals of Project Management, irrespective of the type of project be it software, construction, engineering or automotive.

Undoubtedly, PMBOK® is the basis of all what PMI® defines under the scope of Project Management. It is inclusive of all standard knowledge areas and processes that encompass PMP®. However it is not always easy to understand the principles mentioned therein. That’s why PMI® also recommends contact hours of professional development at one of its Recognized Education provider like Multisoft. The training puts you in contact with the certified PMP® trainer who decodes the PMBOK® for you in a better way. Therefore, in addition to PMBOK®, you must study from another resource. Apart from the study, you also need to practice as per the PMP® exam pattern.

Read this article to get an answer to your question in an elaborated way. Is PMP® Online Training, The Right Way To Certification Exam Preparation?

In 2006, PMI^® made a decision to no more publish passing scores for its exams. Moreover it was in the year 2007 that quantitative elements were removed from the post-exam review for test candidates. The passing score is estimated to be in the range of 61% and 75%.

PDUs (Professional Development Units) are the measuring units used by PMI^® to quantify approved learning and professional service activities. Each project or professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. As a credential holder, you need to understand that PMI^® might request you to produce the documentation in case of audit.

If you want to maintain your PMP® credential for more than three years, it’s must for you to earn 60 PDUs every three years to complete the CCR cycle. There are variegated ways in which you can earn these PDUs. While some categories have restricted the number of PDUs that you can earn, others do not have such limitations. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Six PDU categories fall into two divisions—Education and Giving Back to the Profession—as tabulated below.

Project Management Professional (PMP^®) certification requires 60 PDUs per credential renewal cycle which is 3 years.

After every three years, a certified PMP® Professional needs to re-new the credentials. Since PMP® Certificate is valid only for three years so to renew it, you have to report 60 PDUs to PMI® by the end of third year, else your certificate might be suspended and then after one year it will be expired. For detailed information, refer PMI®’s suggestions.

PMI^® states that 35 contact hours, once earned should be used within 3 years.

As stated by PMI^®, all eligible applications are subject for audit. Candidates are permitted to sit in the exam only after the successful completion of the audit. Submission of an application indicates agreement to comply with audit terms. Please notify that although the selection process for audit procedure is random, PMI^® does reserve the right to select any candidate manually to be audited at any point of time, including after the credential has been bestowed. Once a candidate is selected for audit, he/she will receive an e-mail notification from PMI^® prescribing all the details along with the necessary details on how to comply with the audit terms.

This can be a quite distressful situation. Always provide correct and legitimate information to PMI^® at the time of filling out the PMP^® examination application form and, you will never fail the PMI^® audit. You have to check the prerequisites very closely and see if you meet the eligibility criteria.

In case you fail, you will certainly get your money back with $100 deducted for the processing fee by PMI^®.

Application of a candidate is valid for 2 years from the date of approval. In case, the eligibility gets lapsed, you need to re-apply by submitting a short application form within 1 year of eligibility expiration date. Candidate needs to include the full certification fee as payment for the examination, while submitting the short or a full application form.

PMP^® exam comprises of 200 multiple choice questions. Each question needs to be answered correctly. You will get four hours to answer these questions. Out of these 200, 25 are pretest questions, randomly placed throughout the exam and are used for research purposes. These questions are not evaluated while computing exam results. You will only be evaluated on the basis of 175 questions.
