Complete Application

PMI encourages you to use the online certification system to apply for all certifications.

Before you begin, check to make sure you meet the certification eligibility requirements and can record the necessary information on the application.

Once you start an online application, you cannot cancel it. You can save it unfinished, come back to it later and edit any information you already entered. The application will remain open for 90 days, during which time PMI will send you an email reminder to complete the application.

Before you submit the application, you will be required to read and agree to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and the Certification Application/Renewal Agreement.

If you don’t have a certificate for 40 hours of project risk management education, you can generate one on KnowledgeMap:


How to Record Your Experience & Education

Use the experience verification section of the online application to record your experience. The experience does not necessarily have to be paid work, but it does need to be in a professional setting. Activities such as school projects or planning personal events would not qualify. Record projects individually regardless of the number of projects you include.

You can record all education within the specialty area of project risk regardless of when it was accrued. The course work must be completed at the time you submit the application and must include content on project risk management.
