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.

How to Record Your Education

Use the project management education section of the online application to record your project management education.

When you choose to record 23 contact hours of specific instruction that addressed learning objectives in project management, you must record all education hours regardless of when they were accrued. The course work must be completed at the time of your examination.

If you don’t have a certificate for 23 contact hours of project management education, you can generate one on KnowledgeMap:
